Apple Begging?

[ravman]

Just read this (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/apple-begged-microsoft-to-stop-running-laptop-hunter-ads/). Should be interesting if it does happen (the stores next to the Apple ones).

They dont run those ads here, ha they sound kinda funny. What people dont realise is that the cheapest mac on a £ for £ (or $ for $) basis is much better than the microsoft version. Windows just seems to slow everything down.

I love my mac and hate having to use a windows machine at work!

For me, this is quite old news.

I have tried a mac, and couldn't adapt to it easily enough, so I'll try again at some stage.

Macs give a better spec for the money you pay. I've had both windows and Mac. I'm 22 years old and i've been playing with them both for about 7years or so and i'll always choose OSX over windows. I personally don't rate windows whatsoever- I'm not bitter or anything I just think they over-complicate things, the OS is sluggish and Vista... oh dear!

Once a Mac always a Mac.

You should make the switch at least make an appointment with a one to one and you'll get time with one Apple store worker to sit down and learn anything about the computers.

I was thinking of turning my dell into a hackintosh but it seems like an impossible feat

Not an impossible feat...I have a Dell Mini 10 that is hackintoshed fully and it took half an hour start to finish. It helps if you have a system with all the drivers packaged (why I chose the mini 10.)

The MSI wind is also super easy to hackintosh.

I think it's a combination if having the right hardware and a little bit of luck. I was lucky and mine functions great.

Not sure how you couldn't "adapt" to a Mac. Maybe you mean get used to, or want to use over Windows?

I'd have to say they are VERY easy to use and hopefully one day there will be a Mac in your home.

Apple is the only computer company in the world that "pays with cash" when they order their supplies. You must understand the scope of a company that is worth billions and has all their cash in the bank, they owe NOBODY.

When the market hit the floor and companies tumbled, Apple has ZERO dependency on any banks. The company was literally pulling money from their wallet, and had no lendors to depend on. Other companies went under right and left, they are still cutting jobs at dell and microsoft to this day to compensate for the huge losses from the credit lines being cut off by the banks that were collapsing.

All the other companies have billions out in credit lines. Apple has billions in the bank and no credit cards. I'm a shareholder, I know ;). Think about that for a while. Apple isn't begging anyone for anything. ;) They are the only ones that actually own everything, the building, the computers, the land the company sits on......... everything and STILL have billions of greenbacks in the bank.

It's a feat so huge it's almost impossible to grasp. Nobody is in the same league. Every other company and all the assets are owned by the banks.
