Mac's Own PC's faces Easily with Graphic design. Mac's are using intel processors, and Windows. Mac's are decently owning faces now. |

for standard, every day use, i think windows wins. there are many situations, like kibbles said, with graphic design, audio editing, and some other things that mac, undeniably has the advantage.
I know that I myself plan to use windows forever, anyway.
and lolz @ ipods |

| Apple does s*ck. My friend and I did a test. He bought an ipod, did everything correctly. It broke in a month. Took it back got another, did the exact same safe thing following the instructions. Broke within a month. Took it back got another, tried it one more time, this one lasted 2 months. All the same type of ipod, all following their instructions. They lose thousands of dollars because they're too stupid to fix they're own products. And they're so easily breakable. If you sit on one of the smaller ones it will break. |
thats not sucking. thats them being smart. they are owning like 90% of america getting everyoe to rebuy ipods thatt hey sell for 300 bucks a pop. to make one prollly costs them under 20. in no way does that suck. they make the best shittiest product on the market. with the highest failure rate, and are still the number one music providers at the moment. that is not sucking. that is brute ownage |

Apple flooded the market with ipods...and, they did it FIRST. When you're the first one out there, of course you have the greatest marketing advantage. That will change in time as the competitors products hitting the market the next year or two will win out over their stale, proprietary way of business.
Mac's are no better at graphics design or digital imaging (ie movie editing, DVD authoring) than PC's. Again, they were flooded into the school and university systems before the PC as "the" tool to do these things. It's not the machine (mac vs pc) that is better. In fact, it's the software designed to run on these systems. The machine itself makes no difference. |

| How is that them being smart? Because they can't fix their own product, it forces them to give you another one for free (assuming it is under warranty) and they lose money. In no way is that them being smart. |

| very few ppl buy warantees, and even for those who do, they are dirt cheap to make compared to the spike that they are selling them for. |

I thought the warrenty was free.
My sister had hers corrupted, and they sent her a free one within the week.
I think they depend on the fact that they will more likely to be stolen then be broken. |

the warranty is free for about a year, but you can buy 2 year coverage. the best warrenty i have found so far is the Best Buy warranty. if you buy it there, pay 50 bucks for the warrenty, you get:
3 year wear and tear warranty
free batteries in that time span
lemon policy (on the 4th time you bring it in broken, they replace it)
but that's only if it's over 300$. if it's under, you get a replacement warranty, where if it breaks, they just replace it. the best part of the warranty, the will reinstate a new warranty if you get your ipod replaced, so legally, i can get a new ipod every couple years for only 50 bucks. it's pretty awesome. |
