Mac is a user-friendly operating system from inspired from FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

In some way or another, Mac users are using something similar to Linux... but it is uber user-friendly.

I use both.

I have an iMac, that runs Leopard with everything that I need for my photography and film making. And if I wish to play games, I go onto windows vista, and just play the games on there.

Oh wait, you don't like Mac cause you're not "used" to it?

Sucks to have your adaptability then.

Also: Macs, albeit having their cons, ARE better for creative industries. People that disagree are deluded and have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

I hate the browser window on a Mac. It doesn't fill the screen that is stupid.

It is also easier to work with a PC because of compatibility. PC and Mac use some different programs, so with a PC, it is easier to 'move' info.

It's a plain fact.

Go to creative industries that are near you, and ask them if they use a mac or a PC.

I can guarantee that 99% will be using macs. Why? Because they are just better for creative stuff.

Actually it does need to be explained!

I have worked in the "creative industry" and I can tell you this, there are a lot more people using PC's, especially when it concerns anything heavy duty such as Architecture (pretty much anything concerned with Civil Engineering tbh), games. Heck, even simple web designers seem to use PC's more than people like to think. Even though, I have to admit, they do always have a Mac at hand for test purposes.

So, care to explain why Mac's are better for the creative industry? Software isn't an issue! The majority of professional "Creative Industry" software is available on both PC and Mac. Last I checked (read an article about), PC's have more software.

To be honest, the only thing I can think of that makes Mac's better is the fact that they are easier to use, and at first glance, text and images seem to be of higher quality than when on a PC. This of course can be sorted out with a better graphics card and Screen for the PC. lol

I have worked in the "creative industry" is not how I would start any conversation concerning the validity of your opinion on any subject. But I digress.

Mac's are for people scared of puters and for people that buy products based on over anylising available products.

Pc's are for the rest of us.

Really, please don't get me started on why CrApple are so rubbish as I will need to submit a 17,000 page manifesto of hate and I am sure that it will lagg the server where this forum is based by .32 ms as I am sure that you are aware that it is not hosted on a CrApple system.

BTW. Did you know... Not any of the internet providers (Yes, the people that are connecting you to the internet as you read this) use CrApple hardware in any shape or form. I have never seen a CrApple server or router and I normally only see CrApple's used by gays and other poncey types.

To any CrApple users, please upgrade to a real compy and stop using toys in the big boys world.
