pardon my language, but what the *censored.3.0* does india have anything to do with acer being the customer support that david encountered? :/

It he called Windows-

Just forget it.

he didn't call microsoft.

he went to the acer customer support, physically.

for a power cord.

microsoft had/has nothing to do with it, as microsoft didn't make the power cord.

the only thing microsoft/windows had to do with his problem, was that it was the OS he was running, not that the power cord failed.

whut.

and thats another reason why mac is better, the OS maker also makes every computer.

I would say that's worse.. but I'm against the whole apple/mac having a monopoly on their OS bit.

if another company can improve on their design, ex: make better specs work the system better, I would be for it. also, it would be nice to have some choices of model, except for small medium large, like how apple's doing it atm.

again, your beef is with acer, not microsoft. the serial number rubbing off could be blamed on you, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the customer service sucking.

so you learned that acer doesn't have the best customer service. grats. didn't know you called them/got directed to india, if I missed that post, btw.

still, either way, it's acer's problem, not microsofts.

No, if he called windows, he would have been connected to India.

if he called microsoft, he wouldn't have gotten anything solved, since it was a problem with the power cord.

which microsoft didn't make.

do you see where I'm going with this?

there not just small medium large, theres lots of different choices. they even offer ram, video, screen and hard drive upgrades on most models.

i see that its frustrating to get any support on a pc since so many different companies make different parts of the computer.

Apple doesn't make the hardware in their computers either. They just put them together. The hardware is from Nvidia, Intel, etc.

Same with a PC. My PC is made by HP, and if something went wrong I would contact them, not the individual makers of the computer hardware.

This argument is getting silly now. You guys are just grasping at straws.

Really!!? Because I wasn't even trying to be original xD! lol!

@Thread, Macs look cool, but I own a PC and only a PC so can't make a proper judgment.

there they're not just small medium large, theres lots of different choices. they even offer ram, video, screen and hard drive upgrades on most models.

so you can choose how much ram you have installed. you can choose that literally anytime with a pc/windows. you can buy and install the ram separately. your speed, size, brand, all that.

video cards. macs come standard with them, usually nVidia. with pc's, you pick yours and install it yourself. brand/model you want.

screens, you can only pick the size, when buying a mac/macbook, if I recall. I don't think or claim that there is a better/higher quality screen than macs use, but if I'm not mistaken, that's the biggest difference that's small/medium/large.

you can install your own hard drives (internally, to boot) with a pc/windows. I added a terabyte hdd, which I bought/installed myself.

i see think that its frustrating to get any support on a pc since so many different companies make different parts of the computer.

i could write out a long winded thing about this, but it would just boil down to this:

deal with it.

So what you are telling me, is that you have enough ram to run a couple of games, a high-end movie program, a special effects program, and a sound recording and editing program without lag at the same time? Well congratulations to you. You have a super-computer.

Protip: 4 GB RAM is more than enough to do all of that.

What is even funnier is that you're comparing the specs of a Mac and PC. Spoiler: PC will beat out Mac 100 percent of the time in terms of hardware.

Also, I'm gonna throw in a small edit here. Why would any person in their right mind have 2 games running at the same time along with a movie and sound editing program? That's just absurd.

So the hundreds of thousands of people that buy Macs are making the wrong choice because the hardware (basically, games are the only hardware a mac doesn't have) outranks the macs?

Hardware = Computer specs. Derpity derpity durr.

Also, if we're gonna do superiority by number of number of owners, than I believe PC wins again.

Compaq and HP are the same company.

As a person who uses my Windows mainly for creative aspects, I fail to see the difference between productivity on either operating system, having used both fluently for Photoshop.
Since they both deliver the same tools and resources, I've come to the conclusion that it all depends on your preferences not of which operating system, but what your daily customs are, and what your prioritize in your respective OS. They're both personal computers, and they both do the job the same way; You just have to know how to them handle them the right way.

For the tl;dr crowd, Know how to take care of your pet, and it won't bite you.
