Once and for all, proof that Macs are cheaper than PCs

Let's put to rest the myth that an Apple computer will set you back more than a Windows PC. In fact, it'll cost you less.

    I Think We Pissed Off The Microsoft Fan Boys!

    I have used lots of Macs and PCs over the years. But currently I'm all PCs. The Macs are pretty but they are ultimately more useless because of their limited (and more expensive!) software and hardware, limited peripheral compatibility, and limited ability to interface (or even easily transfer files!) into business networks that are PC-based.

    I don’t want to get to intellectual, but that’s the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard!

    Please explain what software a Mac “can’t” run?

    Xcel? It’ll run it. Either in the Mac version of Microsoft Office or fire up BootCamp and run Xcel. Unless you have some other super special software that can’t run on a Mac that is “critical” to business or home use. Please enlighten us.

    Transferring files is “too difficult”? And how is this task “too difficult?” Do Mac accept jump drives? Yup. Can you burn a CD? Yup. Can you move them using the internet? Yup.

    Basically you sound like a Microserf who loves Bill Gates and is shouting “Macs Suck!” and not actually demonstrating how this machines are so “useless.”

    Sorry, but I just had to call you on that.
