[quote]1.I see no difference of a Mac's sleep mode and PC's newly released computers.[/quote]I think it depends on the model. I've seen some PCs that wake terribly from sleep mode. I think some people try (wrongly) to compare Apple, one company, to an entire industry. Some PCs are better than others, whereas Apple's line is very consistent in quality. [quote]4.PFFTTTTTTT[/quote]I think it's a somewhat valid point. Many PCs are riddled with indicator lights that are distracting and redundant. But again, it depends on what particular PC we're talking about. [quote]6.It isn't easy to troubleshoot Mac's as in hardware wise.Considering the Mac's are a pain to open and tamper with.[/quote]That's simply isn't based on real world data. Studies have found that companies that run on Macs have 10-30% fewer problems requiring trouble shooting, and that those problems are fixed in roughly a third the time compared to companies running PCs. [quote]7.There's upon thousands of freeware for both Windows and Linux. That are more superior than Mac software.[/quote]But thousands of freeware are available on the Mac as well. A vast quantity of the freeware I see these days has both a Windows and a Mac version. [quote]8.Yeah,charging you an additional cost for apps that function similar to freeware.[/quote]They do not charge you extra for the apps. You buy the machine and you get iLife for free, preinstalled on the Mac. I do not know of [i]any[/i] freeware that is competitive with iPhoto, GarageBand, or iMovie. iLife also delivers much more functionality and ease of use than any of the preinstalled Windows programs do out of the box. The iWork programs are $15 dollars each, $45 in all. That's much cheaper than what Microsoft charges for Microsoft Office. [quote]9.The lack of a start menu is ridiculous. The launch menu is trash.[/quote]I find the OSX dock (I'm assuming that's what you mean by "launch menu") much easier to navigate than the Windows start menu, and I use both systems almost every day. You can also regain what is essentially a start menu in OSX by making a stack of the applications folder. [quote]10.No.[/quote]If you think there is not a single even small little reason that one platform is better than another, you are delusional. I can find at [i]least[/i] the tinniest reasons Windows is better than OSX and vise versa, but to think that one platform is utterly and completely better than another is almost insane. Compromise is an inevitable element of all human design. We are not gods and our reality is not perfect.
