    Default Mac OS Superior?

    Sure, why not...

    I own a MacBook Pro and love Apple's OS. There has been lots of talking about which is better when you have Mac OS VS. Windows... Let me be the first to tell you that Mac wins this.

    Mac software is specifically designed to work with the hardware already installed in their computers. Whereas Windows will work on everything and has a better chance of getting a virus or crashing.

    Unix Kernal makes it superior. People aren't familiar with it and are with IBM, therefore people create viruses for Windows because it's what they know.

    Some people believe that simple anti-virus will be enough to have Windows and Apple on the sam page, they are mistaken. Macs go the extra mile in not letting you open/download viruses, whereas Windows (being able to operate on everything) will tell you to walk right in.

    /done rant...

    Gonna be short and in bulletins.

    -Macs are better when it comes to media like video making. Macs also lack the customization PCs have, both hardware, software and desktop wise. By desktop I mean thinks like creating custom folders and the like. Though I'm only going by what I'm told on that last point. PCs are great when it comes to office type needs.

    -Back to customization, PCs can run several OSes out of the box. Ranging from Linux to Windows. While Macs can run Windows it's only through emulation. They still tend to have some form of Mac OS installed. As for viruses, those are starting to effect Macs too now. Only reason they didn't in the past was because Macs weren't popular and most people had PCs. Most still do but Macs have gained enough of a foot hold to get virus makers attention.

    -Read above.

    -I doubt Macs have some magical program that blocks viruses. I reiterate what I said before about Macs and viruses.

    Longer then I expected but you get the point. Macs aren't superior, they just have areas they're better at then PCs and vice versa.

    Forgive me, it is ignorant to simply call one superior. Macs don't have "magical powers" you're right. However, there are over 1.2 million Windows viruses and about 100 Mac ones, you do the math.

    And I commented on that. The main OS Windows has been regularly used for over 15 years while Mac OS while used for a similar amount of time hasn't been as popular since for much of the past 15 years Windows has had the dominate market share. Who would you target, the guy with the 8% market share or the guy with the 15% market share? If you want a similar example on PC there's Linux which is just as resilient to viruses as Macs are.

    Well we're only making my points here, the main reason for the word, "superior" was reflected in it's security straight from the box.

    People are familiar with Windows (as I said) ad therefor do target it because they're familiar and own 90% of the market.

    Well from the box, you don't have anything with a PC since it has no OS. With a PC you can get it to do what you want. And yes it's true but there's things you can do to protect yourself. I know only have constant scanners but protect myself via Fire Fox using addons that prevent unwanted scripts from firing. Including those that may download a virus. So yes we're more susceptible but there's things we can do if we're smart. So what you really say is macs are better against viruses. What you've been sounding like is Macs are better period. And the virus thing could change in five years.

    Macs will never be truly superior. They will never reach PC in gaming if nothing else.

    Also, most people that own a PC aren't savvy enough to know how to protect themselves, hints the high failure rate.

    Which is where your mistaken as macs don't have security straight out of the box since hackers have started to create mac specific viruses because if the stupidity of their users thinking that they can't get any viruses (all these updates aren't just for all the pretty extras as they have had to patch several security holes over the past few years).

    Talk about a faulty statement. The things that make Macs secure is what you get from it from the box. Whereas a PC can only become more secure by owners downloading software etc....

    Macs are designed to work with the hardware already installed specifically. (I know this has setbacks compared to Windows) However, this one statement completely destroys your above post.

    They CAN get viruses, however because of all the reason posted above you, they don't. People want to target a larger audience and work with what they're familiar with. This is why Windows has become the MAIN target. Viruses don't just "magically appear" they must be created, people don't want to waste time on the 10% of Mac owners, when they have the 90% of Windows..

    It has nothing to do with the "stupidity" of the person who buys a Mac. NOTHING.

    So much outdated information in this thread. v_v

    Maybe a few facts being true today:
    • today Macs run on the same hardware as PCs. You can install Windows on a MacBook and you can install MacOS on a PC;
    • it doesn't matter if you have 2 million viruses or just 100 made for an OS, chances are you WILL get a virus if you are not careful. Whoever says you don't need an anti-virus, because you don't have Windows needs to get informed more on viruses;
    • security-wise Windows is a billion years in front of MacOS, but this only because people at Apple don't bother fixing holes no one is trying to exploit for reasons that have been already said;
    • the statement about graphic superiority was true years ago, but today most Macs use the nVidia Quadro series which you can buy for PCs as well. They kept the better screen, which can be bought for PCs too.

    To make it simpler ... the difference between MacOS and Windows is the same as the difference betweeen a prestigious school and a public school. At graduation day you leave them both with the same skills and knowledge (valid for the same subjects of course), the only difference is how people around you look at you. In the computer world Apple is seen as a prestigious product and the only thing Mac offers more than the PC is how it teaches you how to drill deeper into your pocket. For a person who doesn't want to be in the elite, a PC is just as good as a Mac, depending of the software they need, it might be even better (due to software compatibility reasons).

    -Not superior. It's the worst when you are trying to file share/download files. Since most are for windows rather than Mac. You have to go out of your way to convert it sometimes.
    -Viruses? I used to get them all the time on my PC. But now it's been a few years. Why? Careful of what I download/good free antivirus that works. If you just start downloading everything because "oh I have a Mac.. I don't get virus's.. I pity you. Since whether or not you receive a virus isn't about what system you have. It's about how careful you are.

    Ah, OSX, just like paying for a prettied up FreeBSD.
    Windows all the way solely for the insane amount of support it gets. That said, I do myself prefer a dual install Windows/Linux or BSD setup so I can do most things on Linux or BSD (both have smaller market shares then Windows and OSX meaning they do seem to be targeted less when it comes to malware), while saving Windows for the few things I can't ge running via WINE or other methods.

    Mac OSes have long made me think 'My First OS' and sickened me to the point that when I won a Mac years ago the first thing I did was install Yellow Dog Linux on it. HUGE improvement.

    I take it someone has a grudge against Apple.... Considering how you took information and completely slanted it. My favorite statement in your post is how you said that 2 million viruses compared to 1 hundred is the same, that made me lol. I'm not sure if we have a troll or a misinformed person but....yeah...

    I do agree that if a person is stupid enough to try and say download/stream form unreliable sources, then yes, they may get a virus either way. However, when you compare the virus rate from PC to Mac; it's obvious which is better. I know a lot of this comes form what's between the screen and chair.....but not all of it....

    Your second point is completely off. ^^Read what I just said..

    Yeah, I wouldn't call an admin a troll. Only mod that'd be considered a troll is Eris, but that's a whole different story. Just because you only have, say, 100 viruses, doesn't mean they can't be just about everywhere. You still have to be careful about what you do. Besides many of those viruses out there are blocked simply by windows firewall and if your smart you have a second or third firewall behind that. Not to mention constant scans of everything you download and a regular scan of your computer. Do all that and you'll block 99% of viruses out there. So your point is kinda moot since you seem to cling to the idea that Macs are better simply due to less viruses. I suggest you stop while you're behind.

Not to mention constant scans of everything you download and a regular scan of your computer. Do all that and you'll block 99% of viruses out there. So your point is kinda moot since you seem to cling to the idea that Macs are better simply due to less viruses. I suggest you stop while you're behind. All you're doing is making yourself look stupid.
    I'm not being "stupid".... I could care less whether a 5 year old, or a Mod said that 2 million viruses compared to 100 is the same..... It's wrong.... I'm not afraid to call it out either....

    Edit: Rereading my post, I do feel I came off as a butt, so sorry for that....

    As for the coherent part of your post.... As I said before (as well) you can make a strong PC, but considering almost everyone owns a computer, a large portion of those people aren't technology savvy enough to know how to best protect their selves, and by default (people who aren't going to do anything once they get one) Mac is better.....

    I don't know how else to tell you about your virus scenario without being blunt to you, you're wrong.

    1) Newer Macintosh operating systems, such as the Mac OS X, is built on the Unix kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems available.
    2) Microsoft Windows is used by a lot more users. Because more users use Microsoft Windows, it is a lot better of a target than Apple Macintosh computers.
    3) Most of the virus writers are familiar with the IBM platform and Microsoft Windows, and therefore are only going to be able to create a virus for that platform.
    The only thing ignorant here is the inability to UNDERSTAND the difference. Your analogy was farfetched when comparing Mac and PC....

    Edit: I do find it funny that when I presented facts I was called an Apple Fanboy. I assume that's because Apple's Marketing strategy pisses people off because it's so simple and people feel others are being manipulated into it..

    Also some of your statements are wrong since mac OSX only works with specific hardware (that being the hardware the apple uses for their macs which also partially discredits what flashD had said since you can't install a vanilla OSX on a computer that has a AMD processor since it only supports intel processors) and there ARE mac based viruses out in the wild and looking at the sophos labs youtube channel will tell you the truth (and that also includes the newly introduced mac app store).

    The only thing I'd use a mac for if I ever got one is to stop using 50% of the battery on my iPod touch on a one hour facetime call.

    I know that there are more flaws with Macs, just like PC..

    Flaws for Macs:

    Gaming
    Hardware not being able to operate on everything as Windows does.
    Price <---Hasn't come up, but not afraid to admit it
    Being able to fully set it up the way you want
    MS Office is better for Windows <---Hasn't come up either
    ...there are obviously more....



    I'm not inclined to act like a butt, but when I get falsely accused of being a fanboy (and someone makes a false accusation) I could really care less.

    NOW you bring up Mac flaws.. Why bother? A few people prove you wrong and you get all defensive.. Rest geeze and obviously you do care.. Because you've replied to it about 3 times.

    In order.

    Gaming is only mainly on PC because of PCs being dominate. But there are plenty of games on Mac and Mac and emulate Windows so Macs can play any games PCs can.
    And actually PCs can be more expensive then Macs. If you want a top of the line PC you'll spend between 1 and 2k, if not a bit more. So don't go saying it's cheaper.
    So far, the only real pro you stated.
    Blue nicely covered this one.

    lol I only got defensive when I was called a fanboy... I don't get frustrated whether or not someone disagrees with me over technical issues... However, when people cone on with their "Honk if you love PC's" signs, and start calling people fanboys, I do get irritated..

    You obviously don't know this because of your interpretation of why MS Office is better on PC, besides, "it's windows, of course it's better on it"... It actually all has to do with coding issues..

    @ Geek.... I do know this. I'm talking overall here, as I have in most all my points. The average computer owner doesn't spend 1k on their PC, like they would for a Mac...

    Yes, because it was coded by Microsoft for their OS. Of course it's going to have coding issues with any other OS.

    If you're going to do that I'd hit the real top of the line stuff. PC is up to 8 cores. And I'm sure you could bump other things up a bit. But, then again Apple is known for major price gouging so I'll just concede the point there but it really makes no difference to this argument since it's only 1 of 2 still.
