^oh man. :sad: Here I am again.
Didn’t cross my mind, that I could be understood like that. :surprised Since we are quoting, my favorite from the 5th element: “I only speak two languages, English and bad English”… So my apologies to anyone who constructively took part to this thread and really felt that I’m trying to be superior (???) and I’m insulting them by joking, ruining their fun and intentionally pissing them of.
I’m propably naive then, but at least I hope, that people are smarter than making their buying decicions by something else than mac vs pc -threads. There actually has been some info in this thread (thanks for those constructive posters), but then we also have had already usual comments like “xx is a shit, no its not, xx doesn’t work ever, yes it does always” and then argued about authority of the authors. There is a reason why software fights are not allowed at general discussion.
My opinnions about the subject are actually quite close to those “jokes” I posted earlier. Formal explanation of those jokes would be something like this:
Needs of the people, softwares they use, style of usage, amount of other usage and experiences vary so mutch that imho relevance of information one gets from these threads is not very good.
In my experience, both operating systems can be successfully used for working, neither one is perfect (and will have plenty of updates to come) and one doens’t need to fix it if it ain’t broke. If, how ever one is having problems, then it is usually more usefull to ask solutions to those specific problems - which are usually easier to solve (like that brush slugginess). And if nothing helps, then it might actually be smart to consider trying something else (which might help - or not).
Both of the companies are also trying to maximize their profit, so I don’t believe neither of them is an angel. Arguing about universal betterness of operating systems is indeed imho quite useless because of all those variables mentioned, but by all means feel free to do so, since it is usually raising some discussion and we might also hear something usefull every now and then.
And no - I’m still not trying to piss anyone off, instead I’m actually trying to avoid arguing, because this is quite irrelevant and unnecessary fluff considering subject of the thread. To add some relevance I’ll mention that currently I’m mostly using self build pc with cs4 master collection, something of that in daily use, mostly photoshop, indesing, illustrator, after effects. Photoshop has crashed maybe once, indesign twice since release of cs4. Computer is also used for childrens and my gaming other “household use”. And I’ve been using different platforms since times when PC could show one color, Apple looked birdhouse and Amiga was better than either of them.
