Perhaps he is a service and repair technician and sees the worst of the worst. But it certainly has not had any of the problems that Dave (at 12:31 today) seems to have found. Not to say that it wasn't without its problems. Switching to the Mac was a wonderful experience. Prior to this, I was using a PC- a 2001 model, with an 800 mHz processor. So that gives me almost 5 months of experience, and I can tell you honestly that I have had very few disappointments. Let me start by pointing out that I have owned a 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo (no customization) since late August of last year. Facts over fiction and reality over OS religion, please! Microsoft Windows is currently the most versatile of all operating systems and the most stable (other than OpenVMS - even LINUX crashes more than Windows) so I use it a lot, but I'd switch at the drop of a hat if there was actually anything better out there.

The reason for the crashes is that poorly written 3rd party code replaces key Windows files with their own! Microsoft is moving away from allowing vendors to do that.

And when was the last time anyone actually managed to crash XP? You'd have to be really creative to find software that will do that.

MAC software, what little there is of it, tends to be flakey - especially the high-end audio and visual applications! Linux hasn't any software or drivers to speak of, so don't bother. They have to have their drives wiped and the OS reinstalled every other month. My personal experience is that it's the MACs that crash all the time. I have to wonder if some of the posters here have lost their minds.

I have plenty of experience with MAC OS as well.
I work with Linux and UNIX, OpenVMS and Windows. In that sense, Dowling is in the minority.Īs he says: " I am a PC owner, not a PC lover, much in the way that I am a dog-owner rather than a dog-lover - happy to complain, not quite willing to admit my mistake." Perhaps because of the level of interaction with the product, computer users feel an extra connection. The newspaper's back-and-forth begs a question about brand loyalty: Namely, why do computer users identify so strongly with one platform over another? It has to be more than marketing at work, otherwise Pepsi pushers would be spamming Coca-Cola message boards and editorialists in Canada would be weighing in on the Mr. The paper soon followed it up with a response column by Tim Dowling entitled Why PCs are un-PC, which trashed the alternative more than it came to Apple's defence. Naturally, the Guardian's website was inundated with letters praising or vilifying Brooker. It's a hilarious column, even if you totally disagree - and I imagine many will. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui. I even hate people who don't use Macs but sometimes wish they did. But just in case the inclusion of Intel chips in Macs has softened the rivalry, Charlie Brooker at the Guardian has thrown an oil tanker into the fire with a column entitled ever-so-subtly, I Hate Macs. It doesn't take much to fuel the Mac versus PC debate among computer users. PC, the editorial smackdown Tuesday, Febru| 03:27 PM ET
