I work on computers all day, this is my opinion of them (I do earn a living from them though). Be sure to watch the top one first or the bottom won't make sense.

For all those that complain about virus's and adware. Your computer is only as secure as you make it. Don't allow active x for one, and don't open emails with attachments #2, and don't accept files from ppl you don't know #3, and don't go to porno sites or other sites loaded with adware, also install sp2 and use mozilla firefox. Install all your security updates.

People say lynux is so secure and that apple is secure but that is only because no one uses those OS's hardly so why right viruses for them and why learn how to hack those systems.

Agree, I never have a problem with viruses or spyware, but the average user on a PC encounters 10x the amount of crap they get on MACs.

I work in a computer repair shop, we do macs and pc. I’m a pc guy, the macs are faster on less, period. Its not paper, cause mac processors look slower then pc. Just like AMD is by true numbers slower, a 3000+ is around 2.4 I believe? Yet it still hangs with a p4 3.06 ghz. The new mac os is Unix based, it uses ram better then windows 256 mb in an ibook goes a long way, 256 on a xp system? Think about upgrading today.

You may know computer repair and what the 'numbers' say...but I'm not sure how much time you spend on the other end.

I use Maya, After Effects, Shake, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere to create CG Animation typically a short 2-3 minutes clip. All my work is rendered with high ray trace and shadows and it pushes things to the max. I spend 16 hours/week working on Maya 7.0 on my PC, and 4-5 hours/week working on MAC G4s.

...and thank god I don't have a MAC at home. My 20mb Maya files can hardly run on the MACs at school, viewport camera stalls and skips frames, graph editer crashes when a lot is selected, can't view hardware textures real time, and a ton of other stuff just bogs down. My PC at home, smooth and full functioning.

A single frame that would render in 2 minutes on my PC would take 5 minutes on the MAC G4.

Yes, I've used higher end MAC machines before...and yes they do run better real time and are smoother. But rendering times and hardcore processing is still a problem.
