Mac vs. PC...

The first computer I ever abused was a horizontal pc running Windows 3.1 with rodent's revenge and minesweeper, those were the days; and I've been a loyal Windows drone forever, well, up until a year ago.

I'm a media guy, and I got tired of crashes and blue screens, heck, I spent probably 30% of my time trying to make things work instead of using them, and with every update, more problems, more patchwork, always fixing. I needed a change, something that worked.

So, I went over the dark side, and discovered how bright it really is. I'm a Mac guy now, and honestly probably 60% of the world's personal computing would be better off with a Mac. It's just cleaner, faster (booting up has been the same 2min since day 1), and efficient. At least for me as a media guy, the software works with the hardware. Now they say you can't do nearly all the things you can do with a PC. But you need to ask yourself what it is you actually need to do? Most of everything I've needed has an equivalent for Mac whether it be video, designing, office, or just tool applications. + the file system (OSX Journaled) is ridiculously faster (than NTFS). I stand confidently behind a Mac 100%.

The title of this post was "Mac vs. PC..." and the '...' is not Linux. I know Linux is a cool OS but honestly for most people it doesn't appear to be something easily adaptable or configurable. But the '...' is for Google. I'm a long time fan of Google, and love their motto and all their products. Less than a year ago Google debuted their browser "Chrome" and mobile os "Android". Now, just about a month ago, they've announced their development of an operating system. Google offers email, maps, documents, group collaboration, and tons of services for free, and now they're developing an OS. How cool is that? The only thing I can think of being a hitch early on is hardware support, and being the new kid on the block, competing with long running players is gonna be real rough, but we'll see where this goes. Who knows, maybe Google's power is not in the way the conduct their business, but in the way others follow their model... ?

P.S. Don't be evil!
