my pc's so far have been stable, i have never had a crash (lucky me?), though my first laptop died while i did my diploma work. well, may have happened with a mac too... i got all my files on an other pc, and went to work again.
so, last year i had to work on a mac, and i never really liked it. i did not like the "explorer" (how was that called again on a mac?), i did not like how it mixed files with folders. this was minor, i could have bought an application, with the pc-explorer layout. many times i had many serious problems, files got corrupted, did not print right, did not print at all, just one page would be printed from a multiple page document, shared stuff with clients would not print on their machine (also a mac), fonts would not install correctly,... the list was long. i am not sure if it was a mac problem, or if it was the setup in the office, fact is, i did have the problems.
i do not think a mac is more intuitive. i am a strong believer in organizing, and in my small world it is not good, if i have the possibility to install programms on my desktop. that is, what my mac did as a default...
as for design: though i am a designer, i still do not like macs. all those jumpy icons that would not hold still... way to stylish, i like simple and straight forward. my christmas present for me was a mp3-player, but NOT an ipod! and yes, most of the offices use pc.
i am not totally against macs, but i do not want one. and i am also a but tired of all those "by a mac" replies, if somebody is looking for a new pc. hello? he/she is looking for a pc!
though today i caught myself: i was dumping stuff in a folder, and thought: "wouldn't it be great, if i could highlight the important ones with a colour?" then i remembered, where i could do it...
