Totally agree with you there. Not dumb but ignorant to hardware and software configurations. People like macs because you can be ignorant to what hardware you have and it will still work with everything.
PC come with an array of configurations and dumbasses think they can get a barebones PC and do multimedia with it. If you want a PC where you can be ignorant and you know it has the right hardware just get a SONY VAIO PC they are configured for just about anything you can throw at them.
As for VIRUSES and SPYWARE, stay away from shady sites and software!!!!
Your going to have more ignorant people on MACs thats for sure because there is no configuration required and you dont really need to add anything to it to make it work for multimedia.
Same if you buy a decent PC but the problem is people buy the cheapest PC they can find and compare that to a MAC.
If they sold MACs in cheaper configurations it would be the same scenario.
MAC is nothing but PC with a different operating system. They adopted INTEL (PC) chipsets/motherboards in 2001.
MAC users are ignorant to the fact that its really the same machine now with different OS.
If you dig deeper its using the same graphics cards, hard drives, memory, sound chipset.
Your software doesnt really care about what the windows look like if you give it the right hardware.
In addidtion MAC user tend to be upgrade ignorant as opposed to the expert PC who can configure their machines with faster hard drives, more memory, a real time rendering graphics card that will run circles around anything, & more.
Ask most MAC users they probably don't even know how to change a video card.
I render with this

and Ill run circles around any MAC user I know.
FACT for MAC and PC users:
ADOBE CS4 runs 227 % faster with a 64 bit operating system.
Stop complaining and do a little research. Both machines are great MAC is overpriced though. You pay more for a MAC because they spend more on marketing. PC or MAC will do the job.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO LEARN ABOUT WHATS UNDER THE HOOD THEN BUY A MAC. IF YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONS BUY 4 PCs FOR THE PRICE AND YOU CAN DO 4 X AS MUCH.
