I vote for PC, cause they don't suck. hehheh Pc-1 Mac-0 |
||||||||
|

PC, because I'm too lazy to re-learn macs and no one makes software or good games for it. |
||||||||
|

Macintosh. |

Sorry, votes for mac don't really count as full votes in this tally. PC-2 Mac-1/2 |
||||||||
|

haha you're evil :D my vote goes to PC though. |

pc... but seeing as how the only thing that makes a mac a "mac" is it's os, I guess I am voting for computers in general |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point... but I think the essence of this poll is contrast between the operating systems, anyway. |

PC - 4 Mac - 1 Comeon, mac fans... its four to one now. Isn't there anybody willing to vote for the undergod? Oh... wait a second. thats right... theyre macs |

i'm on a mac here, so i'll say mac. who cares though - these days everything's crossplatform anyway. it's all about the applications, and what a vague question. mac vs pc for WHAT? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obviously is for whichever platform rocks out harder. Duh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And its more than applications... hardware, processing power, upgradability, having mouse buttons (notice the 's' at the end of mouse button? That means more than one). Macs certainly win points for looking pretty out of the box, but for an extra $200 you can buy a clear box and a bunch of neon wiring and glowing fans for your pc, and it doesn't need to end up costing you an arm and a leg for your system. |

Generally, I try to avoid any program that sells how stylish it is over what it can do. Well, it certainly looks nice... |

PC>Mac. (Yes, I own both) I remember reading an article on "Total Product" and Macs/PCs were used to great effect to explain the concept. I'm paraphrasing, but it goes like this: When you buy something, the technical qualities of the thing are only a small part of the "total product", or "complete package", if you will. The Mac may well be a technically superior machine (I'm not saying it is, but even if it were the following would be true), however, some of the other things you get when you buy a PC are: A wider userbase- consequently more/cheaper second hand parts. More people to ask for advice. More people to network with (yes, I know you can network PCs and Macs, but it's a lot easier with a load of PCs). More 3rd party support- This offers competative prices and also security- if one company goes bust, your computer isn't made redundant- you'll always be able to get software/parts from somewhere else. Faster development- due to several rival firms in every area, you get rapid small increases, rather than slow, big increases. Look at macs- killer speed when they're launched, then a couple of years (during which time the PC overtakes them), before another big leap. ****************************************** It doesn't sound that big a deal, but think about it. Imagine you are going to buy a car that is exactly specced as a rival model, but is slightly more fuel efficient and a couple of £100 cheaper. You're going to buy it over the rival car, aren't you? Now, imagine the "better" car is from a new, small company, which may well go under in 6 months time. This will result in extremely expensive parts and cause you no end of headaches when it comes to getting it serviced. For these reasons (unless it becomes a "classic"), the resale value is likely to take a nosedive too. Suddenly, the fact that it's technically superior, doesn't seem so important, does it? Anyway, back on topic. PCs are better, and not neccessarily because they are technically superior. |

i'd be curious to know what's Taxidermist's point in making this poll though? |

Mac Whenever I use Windows I find it so aggravating, it's like trying to play chess with mittens on or something |

mac. windows and reaktor makes me want to shot myself. but when the average windows user is say just a casual user that does nothing to add to "technical" support. further these days with online message boards and all that suffices really... . i've never had a problem on mac or windows [except continious crashing] that couldnt be sorted... so a moot point |

Mac because I used to own a PC that sucked and Mac seems to have an OS that is a generation ahead of PC, and could be two generations ahead by the time Tiger is released. Also they look far nicer and are the industry standard for creative work. Also with the G5 they definately aren't slow anymore, my 1.8 GB 20" imac is super fast and looks amazing, there isn't anything in the PC market that compares in the slightest. Also the rear end of macs look better than the front of most PC's :) |

oops.. 1.8 GB = 1.8 G5 |

PC, primarily for the fact that it support more software. I'd choose Linux over Mac anyway probably because it doesn't need specific hardware. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"the mac is the industry standard for creative works " was maybe so several years ago, but it isn't really true anymore. pc's have just more power for less cost if you know what you do + there's isn't anymore exclusive softwares (the MAIN reason why it was the industry standard for creative works) that'll force you to choose the mac... that said i'm very happy with how apple is doing, because (for reasons well explained by ceri) thay can't really copete with windows based pc's but they are really trying to push things forward in other domains and the g5 doesn't sells bad at all... i don't want to see the pc world dominated by only windows :| |

The Mac Mini should get some windows users who couldn't previously afford a mac. |

I vote PC because of price and two mouse buttons. |

I had a friend that converted from mac to pc, and he was amazed that you could have two instances of reaktor open at the same time, and that you could use it as an effect. |

Yes, now you can get Fisher Price style GUIs in Windows XP and PC cases and monitors that look like something from a Futurist's bathroom, Macs really have little to offer to girls and aesthetes anymore. So, musicians for whom money is no object are now the sole market? |
