My wife put me on /ignore

This is an old story: win users vs mac users.

But I should say, win fanatic vs mac fanatic.

I’m a win user and a mac user, and based on my personal experience, I can’t say if a system is better then the other one on an absolute level. Usually in all discussion I had the misfortune to get into, I always closed with: It very depends on what you need.

An Image I found on the net, imo, explain better the real situation:

Because in the end both OS/platform have pros and cons. And no, I’ll not name there here. I just put that discussion on /ignore, since I’m bothered enough. On my guild site, there are lots of endless, useless,  discussion about this topic, and really I don’t want to convince anyone about the best platform you have to use, even if some advice could be useful.

You need to surf the net, check your mail, use office (YES! office!!)  watch some video, colecting pics and video? Get a Mac. You won’t change it in 5 years.

You need to work with databases, asp, iss, programming language in general? Get a PC. (Maybe in future you want to install Ubuntu, but that is another story )

But just to be clear: in most of the cases you can do everything with either systems, so please stfu and choose the one you like more, instead of wasting words and time on that topic. (btw it is true that a pc crashes more often than a mac, but it isn’t true that macs don’t crash at all! The key words here are: more and often)

Usually this discussion are related to the battle between Jobs and Gates:

But I have several consideration about it:

1. WTF only one? 
2. Now that Gates retired, Jobs is richer? Mac users have their penis increased? I don’t think so.

So just to close the story with a laugh, I have to give credit to Apple that has made a good fun about this endless discussion, creating some really funny advertising, in the following video, you can watch a collection of 15.

And really funny too, is this one that makes a laugh about apple advertising:
