OSX is good. but i like winXP better. but really.. you're fine with either.

[NeoMasamune]

It depends on what you're going to use your computer for. I personally like and use both( plus Linux too! ;) )

[b0m8er]

Apple's interface + Windows' compatibility = LONGHORN (Hopefully we'll get it in 2006.. :p )

[rvbfan]

Mac- Some nice programs

PC- THE WORLD...

[ctebah]

winxp.

[fuzzy_logic]

Yeah what are you gonna use your computer for?

[insanekiwi]

depends for what kind of usage. a pc can handle more games, do al lthe video/gfx work a mac can do. and it's alot cheaper.

[ahfunaki]

haha, well so far I am wrong...

[krmathis]

If you are a hardcore gamer, buy a x86 computer and run MS Windows XP on it.

If you dont play games, buy an Apple computer and run Mac OS X on it! :D

[xp1ode]

go for xp man, and forget about the rest...

Not really, there's a TONNE of Windows only users who visit and participate in these forums. The forums are top heavy in favour of Windows, so i'd expect Windows to win the Poll. Personally i'd say if you're not using Specialized Windows Apps (Inc. Games) get a Mac, otherwise you've little choice - Windows.

I prefer OS X on a new Mac, but Windows XP is by far more practical, at least it seems that way to me.

I like windows and mac os x im 50/50 on it.

I perfer the Apple hardware it looks smarter performes better is better for ease of use I dont have to defrag my HDD or worry about virus or worms I dont have any problems with stuff it just works theres nothing to configure or mess up.. on the other hand

Windows XP offers a massive array of games and I'm a gamer also i can build a computer myself and get a nice looking tower plus high performance hardware.

So I'm 50/50 on it

[macman87]

it depends on what you want to do with your computer.

for me, personally, i like Mac OS X :yes: i find the best and the the most kickass apps on the mac

but for some other people it can be Linux, Windows, or whatever.

and really, its your choice. just because someone likes mac os x better, doesn't mean you will. best thing to do is to go to your apple center/store and play around with OS X.

do we really need a thread about this? theres 500000 out there already

Pricing out similarly-equipped Mac and PC solutions will show you that a Mac really isn't that much more expensive. Everyone imagines that a Mac is 2x the cost of a PC, but they aren't close to equivalent systems. Macs just come with more in the standard base config. You may find yourself under $100 difference.

[Galley]

If I had to start from scratch, I'd probably go with OSX.

[Dean W]

I allways Think Windows is alot better Becuase Games work on Windows and most common programes on the internet only support Windows.

Also, All my friends use windows so it would be hard if i was to go on Mac

So I Choose Windows :)

I Whant to use my computer for study works.. not for play..

[99 to Life]

i've used windows since windows 3.1 on my 386. I recently switched from windows xp to osx when i got my dual g5, and i must say that it is much more stable for me. There aren't many games for it, but when the Geforce 6800 ultra and doom 3 make it to osx, i'll be happy.

[SkyFox]

XP is good, but I think you'd do better with OS X.

[Vignesh]

Use Windows Xp for compatibility of programs.
