I Have The Answer To Every Windows Xp Problem

[MacMan640]

GET A MAC!!!!
MICROSOFT SUCKS!!!
Macs OS is open source. This means that if you were to get a virus that your computer would detect the virus and destroy it before it could do any harm to your computer. There has NEVER been a succesful virus on a Mac system, EVER. Windoes XP on the other hand is not open source, therefore it cannot do that things that Macs can do. Some may say, if Macs dont get viruses, then why do they sell virus protection programs for Macs? They sell programs because people are dumb and they dont know any better, and its not Mac thats selling these programs, its people like Norton. A little while ago Mac released the fastest desktop computer ever, this is mainly because it is 64-bit. All the other computers before it were 32-bit. Mircrosoft later copied and made a 64-bit computer, but Apple had the first. Now your probably thinking that a computer like that has to cost a lot of money, and it does (its worth it). That is why Apple has come out with the Mac Mini. Its a $499 computer and for $100 more they will double your memory. Now thats a deal. The Mac mini is 2X6.5X6.5, very small. My parents recently got a Dell. It lasted 2 months and now its crap. A bunch of bad crap happened to it and they regret buying it. Now it is true that Microsoft provides the best gaming computer, but with a Mac you cant get a virus, so nothing is going to go wrong. Whats more important gaming or reliability. Dont smoke crack, get a Mac.

If anyone disagrees I would love to hear your reasoning

i think its total bull what you are saying microsoft is so much better you are on crack if you get a mac. gaming is all that matters as long as you run norton antivirus everyitme you strart your computer youll be fine. haha ya right mac is better by alot brand new computer 3 months ago and its a piece of shit now slow as hell always has something new going wrong its horrible. i wish we had gotten a mac like my 3 wise friends has suggested but my parents woudnt listen so dumb my friend whos in love wiht megadeth his Power Book is like 2 or 3 years odl or something liek that and it runs perfectly mac is much better i dont know much about specs or any of that but windows sucks and mac is much better and thats from experience

Ok... to give a somewhat reasonable response.

Yes, we all know that Microsoft Windows has not had a perfect track record. But look at the other possibility. If Apple computers or the Linux operating system were more popular, we would definately see a larger number of security issues for those systems as well. Take a look at what's happening to Firefox at the moment. Link I can guarantee you that if Apple computers held the same market share as Microsoft does right now, we'd all have just as many problems with OS9 as we did with Pre-SP2 XP. Hackers write malicious code to get noticed, not because they have a "grudge".

OSX and SP2 are both very good operating systems, but on the other hand, Apple computers are still found lacking in general computing speed. See here.

As for virus protection for Macs, there are AV products for Macs to prevent Macs from infecting PCs. The Macs may not be affected by the viruses themselves, but they can be carriers. AV products are created for Macs to prevent them from infecting PCs.

Macs OS is open source. This means that if you were to get a virus that your computer would detect the virus and destroy it before it could do any harm to your computer.

This is simply wrong. Open Source means that the sourc code (the actual text files that are then converted into a program) is available to the public. I can tell you for a fact that this is not true for OSX.


It was not Microsoft who copied the 64-bit computer, but rather AMD who decided to start developing their AMD64 processor because they thought that the future of computing would head in that direction. Microsoft simply developed a 64-bit operating system (that is soon to be released) to support this new technology. As for the G5 (the 64-bit processor you mentioned) being faster, read the article above.

As for the iMac Mini... it's got very limited hardware and expandability. It's nice for me to be able to go out to the store and pick up a larger hard drive,open up my case, stick in the hard drive, and go. The 1.25GHz G4 is slower than a P4 2.8GHz (not just by numbers, but by crunching power as well) by almost any standard. And.... only 256MB of RAM by default? That will bring OSX to a crawl...get ready to spend the extra $100 (which is a rip off for another 256MB of RAM, btw).


Not to mention the fact that almost all software is more expensive to purchase for a Mac. For a decent system, you still end up paying much more for a Mac than you do for a PC.

I've been using Windows XP since it came out and I've never had any major problems with it as an operating system. All you need to use it is some common sense.
