I've gone around and around about this for years, and even on other threads here. I'm an MCSE. I was the Network Admin for a fortune 500 company, one of the largest park systems in the US and have designed and supported WANs for everything from Banks to Police stations.

Windows is a piece of fluffy crap. There is only one thing to really say about the people claiming that os x is for people that don't know computers... OS X is a Unix certified OS. Unix... Now I know many of you windows people might not know what that even is.

Try building up a PC to hardcore anything. Adding high end video cards, sound cards, dedicated encoding cards etc, is all a pain in the ass. IF you can ever get the machine to run correctly, god forbid you make one hardware change. When you not fucking around trying to get all the hardware working then your fucking around cleaning your computer from all the crap out there trying to destroy it.

I finally had enough about 5 years ago and went out and picked up my first MB Pro. I have not looked back. All my macs are rock solid, in fact right now, on that 5 year old mac pro, I'm batch encoding H.264 video from DV raws, running 2 monitors, have 15 browser windows open both safari and firefox. am running adobe cs 4 doing some picture editing. Adimum and skype, a half dozen other programs and it rock solid. The machine stays one and has for the last 5 years, chunking away.. I've had a system cooling fan fail recently, but it's a 25 buck fix. Other than that... peaches. For ROI nothing, and I mean NOTHING has even come close to what the macs have provided. Not only in reliability of the hardware but for the countless hours I have saved not fighting with the damn computer everyday.

You Windows fanboys are really kidding yourselves and look retard to those of us that have a clue. Go back to beating up newbies on your Xboxs....
