Macs DO NOT spoil your fun. Thats an opinion.
Macs takes time to learn? Windows too! If you are new to any computer it takes time to learn!
Macs don't work well in work or school? Then how come I see mac computer labs in alot of schools? And Word proccessing is just as easy on mac like on windows.
Macs don't like to share? I don't know how to answer that man. Every computer can share files.
Macs don't like PC stuff? I can browse my bootcamp(windows on macbook) easily without anything going wrong.
Macs don't let you choose? You can choose to use Mac AND Windows on the same mac. Windows is the one that makes it hard to choose another operating system.

so rsvr85, everything you just said was not true. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I should see this:

And remember, Mac started it all. Mac made the first GUI computer, with pictures you can click. And the mouse. And windows just took it away and used it for themselves. think about that people.

And remember... in 1984, nobody cared about a GUI interface because it couldn't do anything. Every mainframe and server back in those days was running a command-line interface. I'm still thinking, and oh yeah, when Microsoft "took" an idea and made it better so the business world could apply it, Apple cried then too. And not everyone can run Windows on an Apple machine. The corporation I work for could buy 4 Windows machines for the price of 1 Mac running Windows.

Look man, nobody is saying Mac OS is worthless. We all believe it has a place. And that place is on 10% of computers worldwide. Every big corporation on the planet uses Windows because the big boys (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Adobe, Sun) develop their excellent software for Windows. I realize it's a complete paradox (no one will make enterprise software for a minority market-share, therefore it stays a minority market-share), but that's the way it is and probably will always be. Stop whining.

Couldn't agree more - like when you click the "X" on the corner of a page it should close, right? Not close the document/window and leave the program running. Everything seems to be harder to find and more messy to me that is. I dunno just my thoughts.

:roll: ..... I'm just going to assume you didn't click the link in the OP. You know, the one this thread is based around.

+1 for Mike. I couldn't have said it better myself. ;)

Another problem that has occurred during the past couple of years with some Mac users ...

Several websites are using Microsoft Siverlight instead of Shockwave Flash and Adobe Flash. One of those websites is Unversal Sports.com. Last year several members of a message board I belong to were quite upset because they couldn't watch some of the figure skating events due to fact that it wasn't compatible with their version of Macs they had. Some of the figure skating like The Grand Prix series was only shown at Universal Sports.com.

Here are the requirements that are needed to be able to use Silverlight 3. I found the requirements at the Microsoft Silverlight site. I didn't find the requirements for Silverlight 4 and haven't checked yet to see if I have that but I have no problems with the Silverlight Player at Universal Sports.com:

Quote:
The system requirements for Microsoft Silverlight and associated technologies are listed below.

Windows

•Operating System: Windows 7,Windows Vista; Windows XP Service Pack 2
•Intel® Pentium® III 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent)
•128MB of RAM
Mac OS

•Operating System: Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 or above
•Intel Core™ Duo 1.83GHz or faster processor
•128MB of RAM


So, from what I understood with some of the members was that their OS was PowerPC/Safari or an OS lower than 10.4.8. I really don't know all the operating systems for Mac because I've never had the desire to even want to one due to all its complications like the issue with using Silverlight.

The majority of the members that owned Macs were totally upset because of the fact they couldn't watch figure skating ... especially The Grand Prix Series at Universal Sports. I figure if they want to see it in the future then they will have to purchase a new Mac ... one that has OS of 10.4.8 or better ... or they can purchase a Microsoft Windows laptop where they won't have to worry about whether future upgrades of Silverlight will work on their Mac or not.

All I know to say is that Mac users better get used to it ... more and more websites are using Silverlight.

ETA ... I knew I had the latest version of Silverlight which is 4.0.50524.0 and I received it through Windows Update after my new hard drive was installed. I'm not sure what the requirements for this version is for Macs but I do know if these members that couldn't watch the Grand Prix Series last year are still using the same Macs then they probably won't be able to watch it at Universal Sports this year, either.
