The point is that a Mac doesn't require taking care of for stuff like that.

I don't even "take care" of my windows install or run an anti virus and my only crashes are when my overclock is unstable

And OS X doesn't feel bloated? If you want to tweak ANYTHING, well... you can't.

*Laughs* It's Unix... everything on OS X is tweakable.

As one example... just try to customize the Windows SP2 firewall. Compare that with ipfw's powerful rules.

How and why did this have to become an OS X vs Windows debate? Argh....

I thought head-fi got over these types of threads a couple of years ago!

Mention Bose or Mac, and it turns into a war.



That's not a bash on Mac, it's just the nature of the threads. Bose is still horrid and Mac is respectable

Mac's suck. I'd take windows xp or vista anyday over OS x. Flame on!

Mac's lock up just as badly if not even worse than pc's, atleast here in my work (video editing etc). And when they truly go screwy there's not much to do.

It's interesting that PC users are so different than Mac users. As a Mac person, I just look at this statement and scratch my head and say, "Why would someone want to make their system unstable by overclocking, when they could be using that time they're wasting diddling with stuff like that doing their REAL work."

Someone at your work seems to know something about the advantages of the Mac when it comes to video editing that you don't know. As someone who does that for a living on occasion myself, I know I do.

Ignoring the juvenile flamebaiters, please don't spend your money on any Norton product for the mac. Norton Utilities used to be very good... back in the early 90s. These days, it CAUSES problems.

The one "must have" utility is DiskWarrior. TechTool Pro is also good (I have both), but I prefer DW by far.

Btw, congrats on your new computer!

Co cktail or Macaroni are the best utilities programs I've found. They run in the background, so you don't need to bother with it.
