Exactly my point get a bunch of morons to pull out their machines they bought as cheap as they could for just surfing.
This isn't a fair comparison. In 1999 i was building rock solid PC editing machines with Perception catpure cards that captured uncompressed 4:2:2 video with no generation loss what so ever and no frame drops. I had a raid controller ultra wide SCSI drives, & less than a gig of RAM. Back then you had to have a monster of a machine I spent like 6 K on my machine and the capture card was about $3k. Things have come along way but even back then I had a rock solid PC for editing that rendered with premiere and after effects in real time. Back then the editing cards or capture card used its own memory to render and its own processors built onto the board. I could still edit with that machine it was rock solid. This was when windows NT was the best OS. I like it best because it wasn't consumer. After windows 98 they started making operating system idiot proof and senior friendly. If you ask me they should have 2 versions of OS for mac and PC.
one OS for the morons that need all the warnings and explanations
and a pro on like windows NT use to be that didn't have the unnecessary bullshit.
The problem is most people doing these comparisons have no idea what they are talking about they just compare oranges to apples.
