5 years? ARE YOUR KIDDING ME!?!?!?!
We still have EVERY Mac we've every bought. (Except for one, and that one got fried when a tree in our front yard got hit by lightning.) All our Macs still work great, they may not be all that up-to-date but neither is any other computer made in 1990 something. And we've had about 8, well actually 10 but two of them we didn't buy brand new, but they still worked great and I think we still have them somewhere around here. Anyway, Macs last a WHOLE LOT LONGER than 5 years.
I did say the macs wouldn't last that long I say the makers wouldn't last that long

Yeah, I agree... Apple will probaly kick the bucket in a few years... they might already be dead if it wasn't for the fact that they lucked out with the IPOD.

yeah that IPOD really did help them
Duhhh...of course the iPod helped them out a lot...the iPod is a huge thing these days, if some other company had come up with it, the iPod would whave helped the out a lot. But Apple has been around for 30 years and is becoming bigger and bigger and who knows maybe Mac will never be as big as windows but maybe it will. All I know is that the Apple is becoming a more and more respected by technology experts, example:

Surprising as this may seem, I'm with Macnut on this one. Apple is not going anywhere in the next five years. Let us examine the facts. Apple was floundering. Then Steve Jobs comes along with the iPod, and followed it up with iTunes. I think it's safe to say that that is what perhaps saved the company.
But then Apple made one of the most brilliant moves possible. They switched to the x86 architecture. At the time, I thought it was a good/bad move. It proved that Apple was using inferior hardware in the PowerPC architecture, which was something I had been claiming for years. It was just slow (performance, not clock speed). But IBM and Sony were going crazy about another processor which you, of course, probably know about, the Cell. Well that's still not out, and most people have pretty much forgotten about it. Too many issues.
Enter the x86 architecture. For those who like it, OSX can now run on PC's (even if it is illegal, and people would have you to believe otherwise). Windows/Linux can run on Macs. And now with the same architecture, it's easier to port apps between the two OSes. Boot Camp came out. And now Parallels (if you don't know what this is, go look it up. It's pretty sweet). There is even one Apple store selling Windows. Apple has the highest margin of the computer industry that it has had in recent history. They aren't going anywhere.
That said, I still detest OSX from the very core of my being. The hardware, however is vastly improved, and actually coming way DOWN in price, making it more appealing all the time.

My last year of high school, one of the teachers (who also happened to be the principal) and this guy in my class were always having this debate. I didn't listen too intently, but the arguments of my teacher in favor of PC's seemed stronger - probably because everybody knew he was really smart.
Anyway, that isn't why I like PC's. I know hardly anything about computers, but I'm used to PC's. They've treated me well, and so I'm therefore biased in favor of them.
If only I could remember those convincing arguments and win y'all over to PC's

Never gonna happen.
Actually, I'd guess his argument seemed stronger just because he had more to say and better articulated his points. And it always seems PC people (the vast majority) like PCs because that's what they've always used! I've personally used them both- Mac at home and PC at work. And unless Windows makes some drastic change in their system, I'll always be a Mac person. And I have definitely converted my husband. A former PC user because that's what his family always had, he used to dislike computers greatly before we purchased a Mac. Now he sees the truth!

Fortunately, I'm not in the vast majority... that's never been one of my arguments...
And it's weird... for some reason, most PC people do seem to be able to argue better about which platform is the best. *insert joke about intelligence levels here* But what I really find hilarious is when someone trys to compare Macs and PC's, and automatically assumes that they're comparing OSX and Windows... they totally ignore hardware platforms, and alternative OS's like Linux.
Wow...I never realized the debate between Windows and Macs was so intense.... I barely knew anything about the two different systems until my roommate brought in her Mac. I've just always used Windows so I guess it's what I'm used to, but my roommate had grown up on Macs and told me some of the reasons they were so nice. So I wouldn't be opposed to learning how to use a Mac...they seem a lot more reliable and such....but I guess I just prefer Windows simply because that's what I'm used to and that's what most people and schools use, so it's more compatible if you need to send a paper to a teacher or something.

That was a joke, right? I've never know a Mac person to go to PC (that doesn't it hasn't happened), I have, on the other hand, known...*counts*....ummm, uh, *losses tracks because there are too many* well, a lot to switch to Mac. Even guys who were huge on PCs.

Alas, too many in this world are missing out because the stick with windows because it is, "what I've always used".
While in some cases it is true that macs and windows just aren't compatible microsoft does make Mircosoft Office for Mac so in that case you wouldn't have a problem. There's also MacLink Plus. I have one online class and my teacher can only open my document if I convert it on MacLink because they (stupid) *cough* computer system only opens files that it thinks are from window based computers...anyway, I'll shut up now.

windows has the installed base because Microsoft licensed, Apple has no viruses nor is plagued by the problems windows users suffer with because they didn't license.
I'll still lean towards Macs as i do not game, can solve my own computer problems and want to think about what I am doing on the computer and not have to think on how to do it.
anyway macs will only last 5 more years
