It was a joke. I was implying that not many people don't use Windows.

Stapled, obviously your like 10. 9 in 20 people will use a mac over a windows computer.

And this is only because they over price there stuff and most consumers automatically think that if something is more expensive, it must be better, because why would they make something more expensive if its not as good, right? Wrong. There marketing team tricked everyone.

I like windows computers better than macs.
The mac OSS is complicated, and it is frankly bullshit.

Macs suck, end of story.

Besides what the hell are you talking about with all this pricing crap, I pirated my copy Windows making that irrelevant.

Stapled - He was referring to the price of Mac hardware, using Mac does not come cheaply. Besides, Macs do not suck...I have a Mac and it works way better than my Windows 7 laptop did, but hey I am not really complaining. I have had less problems with my Mac than I've had with my last laptop, and also no viruses or anything of the sort...no crashes. Online gaming works just fine, just have less of a selection. And Macs are in no way complicated, you just have to get used to it and it took me one day to get used to it. It's like getting a touchscreen phone after having a flip-phone forever, you would have to adjust since you are so used to some things but eventually you get a hold of it.

Well I got everything in my computer for free but w/e. The reason Macs don't have many viruses is because they have a smaller market share and why go after the small guy when you could go after the big guy.

Ah yes, but we are talking about in the terms of an average consumer. Another thing is that Macs can't be pirated, you can make a Hackintosh CD but you need an original Mac CD to make it in the first place. You could do this if you have a friend who has the CD, but it would be better to just buy it if that's not accessible. And along with viruses, they are programed to go after what the majority is using yes but it is more difficult to exploit Macs than it is to exploit PCs. Concealing a virus in a .app for Mac would not be as easy as hiding it in an Executable, but since Executables don't run on Macs we do not really have to worry about that. And why go after the small guy when you can go after the big guy? Because as soon as the price of Macs decrease, the small guy will become the big guy.

Well in the end it all comes down to personal preference and well, I'll take a PC over a Mac any day.

you bitches are all so technical. You can't make someone like something, or say that something someone likes is bad. It's all opinion, and there's no way you can find logical reasons as to why to hate something.

Of course I'm being technical. There are technical pros and cons to everything, and I acknowledge both sides pros and cons. Regardless, it comes down to personal preference.
