Mac vs. Windows: A designer’s perspective
↓ Sponsored Links
CreativeGuy has an interesting post on the pro and cons or a mac, I’m never a mac user and never will be in the near future. The reason being is that I’m brought up in a Windows environment and am so use to it. Yeah, there are Mac in my design college but so far I find them not so user friendly as what most people describe. No right click button until last year?
Not to mention that Mac has only a handfull of games, such as Solitaire and WarCraft 3, that is about it. With no option to buy a good Creative Sound Card, what is the point of buying a good labtec or Altec Lansing Speakers? I guess Mac users are stuck with that lousy quality sound that pump out from their CPU/Monitor.
I don’t want to give the impression that Macs don’t have any problems, but I’m just saying that it’s not fair to judge Apple’s QA based on their iPod battery life. The ball isn’t in their court on that one, the people who make batteries have to come up with a better solution, first. Macs aren’t immune to problems, but then neither are any computers, really. Maybe they have slipped on their QA, I don’t know. Personally, I haven’t had any issues (knock on wood) with any Macs that I’ve owned, but my friend, who has the same PowerBook as me, had an issue with the latch. They were very good about fixing it, though.
I believe the instability of Windows is because people has the option to install various softwares and chances are these third party software will eat up or shall I say mess up the Windows Registry sooner or later. Unlike Mac, everything is inhouse, and with the source code, mac programmers are able to code the programs due to the better understanding of the I/O of Mac O/S.
I’m not a big fan of Bill Gates and his Microsoft, but I sure hope Mac or Linux will eat up a few percent of their market, and I’ll be the small percentage of rebel, I am thinking of installing Linux in my old comp.
