M135i, 118 coupe
Any information or is it worth getting one then let me know.
A bad workman always blames his tools.its a mac. in short if you want a stable machine and have come to your senses that windows is a s**t OS then yes. if you have probs with it its not likely to be something stupid like you held your face wrong so it didnt work like on windows! no more magic windows restart to fix problems! i've recently just gone mac and i cant see why i didnt do it before to be fair.
I'm not a 'pc' fanboy. I call M$ everyday of the week, seeing as I develop with M$ solutions. The layout is not following macs, it's going in a natural direction which all OS makers are following, inc. Linux desktop environments. The only similarity in the OSs is the (much needed) system whereby you're not running in an admin mode, i.e. you have to supply as a password to run as a power user to change settings, install programmes etc, but you could do this through XP anyway, this is also not an Apple feature but a Unix/Linux system, a Linux flavour which as you know Apple is built upon. I believe the business versions go a step further and actually use hardware security as well which will improve things.i'm not blaming my tools fella. i'm going off my own personal experiences of pc's and macs. yes given my machine was sometimes to blame or a setting i'd changed or what have you but 9 times out of 10 if a 'problem' occured the magic windows restart worked every time (and using a genine version of XP too so couldnt be blamed on pirate software). i can honstly say my mac doesnt crash, freeze, shut programmes down for no reason, require restarts, defragmenting ect (if you leave macs in sleep they run background maintenance checks through the night whilst you are sleeping).
i can have loads of browser windows open (i use tabs though) no problem. Furthermore the advantage of not needing anti-virus s/w on macs is advantageous in itself to everyday users as it is rather easy for people to pick up a virus without doing too much wrong. Given of the reports i've been getting of my mate (pc fanboy like yourself) vista is very good, however he says that the layout is getting much more like macs and the way the os works, so maybe microsoft are beginning to see the usability of macs is better woudl you maybe agree? i'm not just telling him to get a mac because i've got one. i'm saying get a mac because imo they are that much better than pc's
