Apply OSx is just a peice of good looking shit, but nonetheless its still shit. The most annoying part is the mouse movement. In terms of functionality windows is way way way better with all the software and games support and hardware support. Standard PCs are cheaper than apple branded crap. To sum it, OSx is a peice of shit for a regular user.

Here’s OS X on a pre-built PC priced low. The company is non-US so I doubt they have a licensing agreement with Apple.

For graphics applications I would think OS X wins. Can you name a university that teaches graphic arts that does not have Macs in the classroom? I have to agree with David that
each OS has it’s pros and cons. In the real world, price is
a major issue with most consumers, but a straight up comparison of OS systems should not include price since OS X will be thrown out on that basis alone.
One other bonus with the Macs is that they run quieter that the average PC unless the PC is upgraded with a quiet case, psu, and processor fan.

“Mac hardware quality”? That hardly justifies the price differences. I found the HP DV9700T, with these specs:

2.5ghz C2D cpu
1680 x 1050 display
3gb ram
Nvidia 8600m GS 512mb card
240gb 7200rpm hard drive
2 year subcription to Norton Internet Security

All for… $1468.99
17 inch Macbook Pro, almost the same specs… $2800.00!!!

Now dont tell me that Apple spends $1000+ on your “hardware quality” …

Macs are competitively priced. They are being priced against computer systems that have similar hardware. HP and Lenovo do not hold a candle to the mac hardware quality.

I agree with you that going to the command line isn’t the most appealing way to get something done, but lets think about this.
Your installing an open source OS onto a load of components that no-one has checked for campatibility. It would be illogical to think that things would just run fine and dandy right out of the box.
Also, whenever Ive had to use the commandline, its really just a matter of copy and paste from a web site, very simple. The only trickey part is finding the right wed site…

This is also a problem with the windows vist OS. Microsoft made an OS that people would install on all types of hardware. How could we hope that it would run perfectly, when it was designed to run on reletivly recent hardware.

Brace yourself for some maclovers telling you Apple computers are competively priced. Generally, they allways compare the Apple systems to dell systems… Ever heard of HP? Lenovo? ?
