Is it true Bill gates stole the operating system from apple?
Is it true that apple PC's get less popups and viruses?
Macs do tend to get less viruses, but it's not entirely down to the better security. Since there are less of them, they are targeted by far fewer hackers who want to cause as much mayhem as possible.

Every good thing you've ever heard about Macs in relation to PCs is also true.
Buy a PC and you follow Bill Gates to the dark side. Buy a Mac and the force will be with you.

Macs are crap don't fall for that.. PC's are superior
And apple will soon be using Intel processors (which are used in pc)
So that saying something about the IBM cpu's
I tell you what billy-g nicked.. He nicked the mouse idea & window controls ie drop down combo boxes.
If you're going PC then go AMD, if you're not with PC, stay with Macs.

I have AMD athlonxp 3200+ 400mhz fsb
I built my own comp..
Windows is ALOT better than MacOS
Don't let anybody tell you dofferent..
MacOS is primitive

I can handle the fact mr-g nicked a few ideas.. but can mac heads handle the fact that their cpu isn't good enough.. let me just remind you billy-g does software not hardware. With PC if you want to change a bit of Hardware you dont need to change the whole machine.
So there you're again one more reason to buy pc over mac.

I didn't say that, but they're a lot more stable than windows. Or should I say any stability that windows has is because of the lack of support for other software, afterall it won't crash if it won't run it in the first place.
I agree with the hardware issue, I built my PC and for the user who knows what they are doing, the hardware is more worthwhile. But I maintain that Windows sucks the sweat out of my armpits. I am converting to linux as soon as I have the confidence to make the change without it affecting the use i make of my PC.

And starman plz stop posting links to sites for me.. I've used both so am able to make up my own mind.
And as desktop support enginner I'm aware of problems too.
Also, don't flatter yourself, the links are primarily for others.
