I got my Windows 7 Professional for free, so I can't complain.
I get it for free for being a student. :4chan:
Wow, the cheapest Mac Pro is nearly double the price of my PC and it has worse specs.

[QUOTE=Murkrow;18066613][img]http://www.hippolytic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/blue-screen.jpg[/img] If there's one thing that I like about BSODs it's how serious they look. I mean yes obviously mac can also get [url=http://www.buckledcranium.com/images/articles/mac_crash.jpg]major fuckup[/url] crashes that look alike, but still. Look at both screens. Mac message is like "Oh yeah something's wrong, just restart and w/e" while the windows bsod is eye piercing, you can pretty much feel it's saying "THIS STATION HAS ENCOUNTERED A SERIOUS ERROR WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP". Even if just a restart fixes it (which is obviously in the message) it gives you a memorable warning. [i]Windows. If shit goes down, you'll know it.[/i] [img_thumb]To be honest though I'm not sure that this message is the equivalent of windows' bsod. Looks like it.[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] So true, it's like: Windows: SYSTEM HAS BEEN HIT! Damage control reports that address x13-80634 has caused the ship to overflow! Restart engine to continue. Mac: Lol sorry.
Because if a mac users sees bsod, they will piss their panties and won't know what to do. In mac it's for straightforward people.

At least the BSoD tells you exactly what broke, then gives you some ideas as to what you should do to fix it, instead of saying "Restart PC, I shatted lol"
How does a £30 version of Windows 7 count as "costing a fortune" ? I'm confused.
[QUOTE=Nyaos;18056048]Nice try, open office is available on Mac. Every application you'd want on Windows has a free Mac counter part.[/QUOTE] Hence why I used the qualifier 'basically'. Open office may work on it, but there's a lot of things that won't.
Does mac have free 3ds max counterpart?

[QUOTE=Bl4ckDmon;18068669]How does a £30 version of Windows 7 count as "costing a fortune" ? I'm confused.[/QUOTE] Mac users have no sense in value. That's why they buy overpriced computers, but bitches at "overpriced" office programs.
lets not forget: snow lepard requires a intel based mac, sorry PPC users. 7, you can get that mofo working on a pentium 2 2 fucking :caps: TWO :caps:

[QUOTE=johanz;18069150]Does mac have free 3ds max counterpart?[/QUOTE] Does Windows? 3ds Max costs a ton. Blender is the only good free 3d modelling software that I know of, and it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Doesn't cost a fortune with my student discount. $30! WIN!
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;18074347]Does Windows? 3ds Max costs a ton. Blender is the only good free 3d modelling software that I know of, and it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.[/QUOTE] Maybe costs a ton, unless you're in a nice school :D
The mac - you pay, an agreeable SHITLOAD for it upfront: lasts easily 5 years, just maybe bumping ram OS updates dont cost much The PC - you dont pay much, but you update hardware and windows costs loads to update (Microsoft trying to combat this by SLASHING prices, bit [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/clock.png[/IMG] though) Lasts roughly 3 years before needing replaced. Fix where ive gone wrong if you need to.
Students get Win7 for 30 pounds/dollars.

I'm buying a mac soon, because i'm a musician and macs are alot more recording, mixing and editing oriented. If you're not in the business of music, film or photo editing however, buy a PC.
