Mac
PC
Neutral (Boooo!!)
As far as Mac vs. PC goes, I'd like to get a Mac. If nothing else than to say I have one.
I think they're about equal, but as a computer programmer, I spend a lot of time working with Windows programs...so, naturally, I would gravitate towards the PC.
PC, the friend of pirate copies <.<
Actually, this is kind of a funny story...
I downloaded a legal copy of Windows 7 Pro for my Dell laptop (the second one, that my mom is currently using.) Well, she called me into the room about three days ago, and said a message had popped up. I looked at it, and it said that it couldn't install updates because it wasn't sure if the copy of Windows 7 Pro I had was legal LOL.
I verified it was legal, but it's sad that Windows has to pop up message boxes like that. Especially when it was legal. Makes me wonder what happens to all the people who pirate Windows from The Pirate Bay?
I'M GONNA FIGHT 'EM ALL
A SEVEN NATION ARMY COULDN'T HOLD ME BACK.......
Yeah I suppose so. That's why I buy rather than illegally download, most of the time.
If you DL a copy of Win 7, then activate it with Daz's bootloader, I believe it changes the key and comes out totally valid. 7 is the easiest OS to pirate, it seems.
Havent exactly tested that, bit i did use it to install my bought copy of WIn7 ultimate to multiple PC's, cuz [BEEP] that i'm not buying a copy every time I build a new computer, nor upgrading my hardware.
Hey Skippy, just a random question...and I should probably pm it to you, but here goes...
I have an old computer that I want to install Windows XP on. I have a 34 GB internal hard drive, a CD Rom Drive, and a tower...and not much else. I can probably boot the installation from a USB drive, but I've already installed Linux Ubuntu on it, and I want to overwrite it. Can I do that?
I've been struggling with this. I attached it to my newer Desktop, which is how I got Linux onto it, but Windows will not recognize that I want to install an older system, because I have Windows 8 on here...and it says that I can't roll back (don't want it on the main drive, I want it on the drive that I remove to plug into the computer I built from parts.)
Time to get some microsoft hate in here!
Microsoft designs ideas. Apple designs a brand.
It's easy to see, one is creative while the other one is flashy.
I hate to bump this, but I may (may) be getting a Mac.
My laptop died, and I got some money refunded for a new laptop. I also have a discount from the college bookstore, since I am a college student...so I may be able to afford a Macbook Pro. I've been walking on air since I found out.
I'm not going over to the darkside completely, because I still will need Windows for my coding and schoolwork. I probably will use both OS, but the time I've spent using a Mac, it is so much easier.
