there are a few things i hate about macs. 1- directories and interface are too automated to be of any use to me, especially on their laptops where you end up getting yourself into all sorts of rediculous "handy" tools because using a tablet or a touchpad it's impossible to keep the pointer exactly where you want it and anywhere else calls up something you never wanted - without you clicking. this is a real trend too - everything on a mac is done for you. All i want is a computer that only files my commands
the other thing is their commercials. every time i see one, i want to buy a PC. especially the new one that mentioned "wmp.dll" as a "cryptic error message". it is telling you the exact name of the file you want to fix!! what more could you possibly want from an error message...? Macs dont do that though, they do the spinning rainbow wheel for 20 minutes before just not doing what you asked.
macs also break too easily. every virus is almost completely fatal, requiring a format, new harddrive, or even just a new computer. it happens quickly to, and there is no way to know easily what might be wrong until it is too late to stop it. Everyone i have ever known who has purchased a mac has seen it die suddenly and catastrophically.
Many people like macs because they don't want to think about things step by step, they just want to do. push all the clutter aside. Its like the new photoshop - half the work the old versions needed, but also with only half the potential and even less thought put in. thank god they left all the old features and made it so you can toggle the new ones.
these are things meant for people who just dont care about what they are doing. people who want to get decent photos in 3 clicks, or listen to music, or make industry standard art fast. Assemblylined comfy straight-to-the-destination computers where the pc's take the bumpy but more interesting scenic rout. Its a family computer and a business computer, but i personally think it is terrible as a personal computer.
