Keep thinking that. You are wrong, but you will not admit it.

I just don't believe you have any vast experience with Windows 8 to properly judge it.

Spencer, this is true of most who say they don't like 8, or that 8 just plain sucks.

I still have 7 installed on 3 rigs, but I use 8.1 99% of the time, have now for around a year now.

I still like 7's GUI, but I prefer 8's quickness, performance, and 8 has several cool features that 7 lacks.

 

 

Kona, Spencer said "vast" experience with 8. Now really, if it was so slow for you, and by your own admittance in these forums, you haven't used it very long, due to it's slowness, and your dislike of it, how could you have "vast" experience with it.

 

That kind of experience comes from using 8, day in, day out, for a good while.

 

Please try to stop being so argumentative. It serves to make you look bad, man.

I repair computers almost every week with Windows 8. I know my way around Windows 8. I even know how to defeat the new BIOS those machines use to install 7. And just because it was slow on my machine didn't mean I explored it for some time before going to 7. However, if that means I don't have enough time using Windows 8, that's fine.

Not the same as using it on a daily basis. I repair PCs too.

Cool. I'll have to wait a year or so to get a PC running Windows 8 to make up a few opinions about 8 I guess. No worries!!

Well, i prefer linux than windows version, but the great problem in Linux is the compatibility with the majority of software that are done for Windows, and this cause makes bad the experience in linux.

So, still waiting, was he wrong installing the cursor!?

 

Very informative reading. Now to decipher fact from fiction, okay, I got no idea. I await part two of the topic.

One thing though, back on Mac, I always heard and have no proof, never been caught touching a Mac(lol), that they used superior parts such as amounts of gold plate and different (better made)components? Any truth, just out of curiosity?

As for os, still I prefer not having to write code to watch a movie. I am the normal user for sure, and rely on windows to do the complex stuff. I got enough to do as is. People like convenience and easy and quick.

My 1 cents.

No...although they might try to claim that to justify their prices....

It is certainly not difficult to locate superior [PC] hardware than that used/priced within a Mac, just as it is easy to find inferior...

I do not think Mac hardware is superior to much of the upper-end PC components which are a fraction of the price. I'n fact, my niece is just one person who thinks Mac crap is crap.  Her 1st and only MacBook Air was in the shop several times for repairs prior to her losing patience and opting for an ASUS machine a couple of years back, and that has been trouble free thus far.

I would find it difficult to return to plasticky laptops after having owned a Mac laptop.

ID...there are quality lappies....they're not all plastic.

Quality is where you look...eg my DiNovo Edge keyboard is the price of some laptops....you pay for what you get....and reverse...

The thing I don't get about Apple is they basically have the same parts as a similar equipped Windows notebook yet cost 3 times more. Why?

Commodities are priced at a point that matches what the market will bear....nothing else.

As long as Macs have an obsessive following [lemmings...whichever] they'll be priced to suit.

You match market share to profitability...and Apple has obviously found the right balance FOR THEM ...

PCs are an open and thus competitive market that sees more than one price-point reached to suit individual sectors of that market.

i.e. more versatile and appealing to a much wider range of 'interests' as it were.
