Comments on: Apple is Better than Microsoft – Every Time. http://www.jtgraphic.net/2010/03/apple-microsoft-time/ I can help you get where you want to go on the Internet. We'll have fun along the way too.

They shortcuts just seem to be more intuitive to me. Admittedly my main computer is a Mac, and I love that I rarely have issues with it.

I use iPhone and yes it does miss some key features but it is indeed the best interface and touch phone around. iPod is great but the iTunes needs some jargon to understand.

iPod is great but the iTunes needs some jargon to understand.

I've been a PC addict for years now. I build my own desktops. I love tweaking Windows, and practically live in MS Office during the day (I'm a teacher). But here's the thing: I'd switch to Mac if I could afford it. I don't doubt at all that they have a superior product. That said - I'm loving Windows 7 right now ... When it comes to the iPod vs the Zune, well I can't argue. We are an iPod household, and Apple has that market absolutely mastered. I have an iPhone, and it is hands-down the best phone I've ever had. It's essential now to my workflow, and the apps are just incredible. Literally everything I need and want. Come April 3, I'll be buying an iPad - not because I'm a fanboi, but because I can see just how functional this will be in our house. It's formfactor and the applications really suit the way we surf the web and use our laptops. I still LOVE PCs. But when it comes to innovation, design, and just sheer usability, it's Apple first and daylight second. Ah, the classic Mac v PC debate. I’ve been a PC addict for years now. I build my own desktops.

Every point you make there is valid. I find that AVG and other Free anti-virus programs aren’t quite as potent as something such as Kaspersky, because they don’t do live scanning. Oh, and there is nothing like building your own computer. :) Admittedly I use Macs about 45% of the time, PCs another 45%, and Linux the other 10%. Every point you make there is valid.

Cost of Anti-virus? $0 if you use AVG Free and Spybot Search and destroy. Sure, there are higher statistics of PCs needing more maintenance, but how many companies out there build Macs? Just one, while multiple companies build their own style of PC, with whatever quality of components they choose to put in it. So yeah, “BUYERS BEWARE”, if you don't know enough to build your own computer, so the general minimal knowledge consumer is probably better off with Macs. Sure, I've had video cards wear out (might I add two of which upgrades were free with one being a hand me down from a trade show computer, and the other being a prize in a contest), RAM sticks go bad (save those receipts for those limited lifetime warranties), and a mobo die (I was due for an upgrade anyways. For me there is a sense of creation and pride in my system that I treat very much like my car. Also I've had my Lian-li case for 12 years, still remembering when I took that thing out of the box and was able to lift it off the ground with my baby finger. Not everyone is like me, and I can live with that. I’m still not really convinced to move from PCs. Cost of Anti-virus? $0 if you use AVG Free and Spybot Search and destroy.

I am a massive Apple fan who converted from a windows based machine several years ago. You stated the Imovie was a great platform. I have to agree. I have never used this application till yesterday, when I made my first video for youtube. It took ten minutes!. Now I'm not tech savvy or anything, but it's sooo easy to use. You don't compare the build quality of anything Apple to PC's or windows phones etc. Apple is simply beautiful. It's also robust, timeless, and functional, whereas most windows based equipment has a cheap look and feel to it and buttons all over the place! I expect the launch of the Ipad to be massive, bigger than anything windows based by a country mile this year! i just can't wait for Apple to move into the games platform!? (Hope you are reading this Steve Jobs) Great post JT! I am a massive Apple fan who converted from a windows based machine several years ago. You stated the Imovie was a great platform.
