No vote:

I own several macs (all <1 year old) and an iPod, I own them because they do what I ask of them. I am 100% pleased with my purchases and I do plan to upgrade to new Apple products for two reasons:

1) Based on the experience I've had with my current Apple products they will be a "prefered supplier" when upgrade time rolls around

2) The service I've had from Apple retail stores and Apple care has been first rate. I reward companies that treat me well with my business (and I don't do business with places that rip me off)

3) Based on my experience with Windows XP, I will not be purchasing another version of Windows for at least three years.

It's not that I think Apple can do no wrong: they most certainly can - they just aren't right now. As long as apple designs products that meet/exceed my expectations I will buy from them: even if that isn't the popular choice. When people ask for my recomendations/advice I will point to apple because (IMO) they are the best computer company in the world right now (if they weren't I wouldn't own any).

I don't own a Mac (until Feb '04), but I am a Mac fanatic.

Personally I think I'm getting obsessed with them, everyday for around 8 hours (not 8hrs straight, I go to the gym to relax etc.) I'm researching into mac's and all the new mac rumours...I can't get enough of future updates etc. damn I can't wait to get my 20" iMac :)

I've never owned a PC, only macs. I'm a pretty big fanatic, I didn't intend of becoming such a fan, it just happens. I got my first comp in like summer of 2000, infact it was an iMac Summer 2000 model :) From there, its just exploded.

You would probably change your mind after using OS X for a while, OS X = *nix with a sweet hardware accelerated GUI :p

10.3 is the most stable OS I have used, even though my best uptime is only 34 days...

/me sighs...

i'm not even going to waste my time to go over how many things are wrong with that statement.

anyways, i'm going to choose not to vote.

sure i love my powerbook and plan to buy another apple computer in the future, but if something better comes along i'm going to buy that instead.

and yes better is an opinion folks, not a fact.

I had a PC for most of my life, I'm 28 and I've been using a PC since I was 14 years old (first I had a C64 and Amiga500 :woot: ). This summer I made the BIG step, sold my PC stuffs and bought and iMac.... and suddenly my life changed! I don't think I'll never buy a PC again in a long long time.

So, I should say yes, i'm a mac fanatic right now!!! :D

I think you should add a selection for: I am a Mac lover, but I currently do not own a Mac

I love Macs, they're wonderful machines, and if I had the money to get a new G5 and rebuy all of the software I use so I could use it on a Mac, I would definately purchase one. Since that's not realistic, I have to stick with a Wintel machine until I start making enough money to save up to switch to Mac ;) I almost did it recently, but I ended up not having nearly enough resources (money) to purchase all of the software I use again for use on a Mac (and I don't steal my software).

I was forced to vote *null*

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Is AI actually replacing web developers in 2026 or just changing how they work?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
