I have used one, wont ever buy one. I like to be able to upgrade my computer whenever I want, not buy a whole new computer.

Can't do this with a Mac:



I use Macs at work. Although they are very reliable, i cannot stand the poor performance for a high price tag. And the fact that they cant run most games just adds to it.

Agreed!! Personally I dont have much of a issue with Mac computers. But I DO have a problem with the arrogance of MAC users who think there chit dont stink, and that because they have one and 98% of the world uses PC's somehow makes them inferior and idiots. Thats what bugs me. And thus makes me hate mac users.


That and the compatability

ahh stereotypes. not all mac users think they are superior.
small number of mac users + some arrogant ones = all mac users are arrogant
95% of users are PC and there arent any arrogant ones? im gonna have to call BS on that one, there are just so many PC users that the arrogant ones arent spoken about as much

i like my mac better than pc, only because it seems easier FOR ME to operate. i also bought my mac before trying vista which i do like but had already bought the apple. the free printer and ipod touch also swayed me to the macbook but wasn't the main reason for getting it

Never mind I decided not to hijack your thread and just made one of my own.

I don't hotlink images. Sources are IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, Gartner Group Dataquest Research Catalog, Apple Press Releases.

Link: http://www.systemshootouts.org/mac_sales.html


Here's a different one from ArsTechnica that illustrates the same values.
http://arstechnica.com/articles/cult...l-share.ars/10


Scroll down to the chart pertaining to Computer Market share, ignore Apple marketshare because we're not talking about iPods.
http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com...ow-21-percent/

Another article with sources from ArsTechnica. Check out the spreadsheet, right hand side.
http://www.jeremyreimer.com/total_share.html



This link is the best. Backs up everything. You can't disprove this...

http://community.winsupersite.com/bl...in-the-us.aspx





Keep in mind I'm talking about worldwide marketshare, not U.S. marketshare.
Plus your link says it's a graph generated today by User Account: Guest?
Sources please?



Happy now?

please show where it says the graph was generated today by guest. maybe just the way I am looking at it, but it is saying User Account: Guest, like YOU are a guest viewing the page, not a member of the site

your top right corner says "you are signed in as guest"

i will say thank you for your other proof, i asked for it before and got no backup.

why do you always feel the need to be mr big bad PC user? no one asks you to come and be a **** to Mac users without being provoked, you like PC, go start a PC beats everything out of the water thread.

and, if you read about it, it is based on usage by computers that cross all the websites using the system worldwide. it is skewed, like poll numbers, because it probably only has a small control group, but i got what I wanted out of my post, for you stop blowing smoke and actually come up with proof of where you get your numbers.

yes, im happy now
