I wonder whether Apple marketing guys has got anything to do other than to attack Windows Vista. I mean Apple should tell their potential customers about how good their MAC is and why they should get it. Not simply making a stupid ads like below.
I'm quite satisfied with my making of Top 10 reasons to stay away from MAC. I don't hate Apple, but I just want to save my blog readers' from wasting their money on useless machine.
Let's watch this video, this is true experience from MAC user that MAC fans wouldn't want to admit.
You'll be like this guy in no time if you buy a MAC. You should buy a MAC only if you are an idiot, then I guess you need an idiot-proof operating system, it's MAC.
Apple is giving reasons what they think is imperative for making the change from a PC to a MAC can be found on their website and their famous "I'm a PC, I'm a MAC" ads. After I've seen most of the Apple ads and have read their long lists of conviction, I don't see any apparent reasons why Windows users should switch to MAC. Let's start the list!
1. It just works.
Huh? What do you mean it just works? Many MAC ads will tell you that all people that own MAC are really satisfied with their computer and MAC never crash. This all turns out to be a pack of lies. It does crash a lot.
Normally, Windows crash because of third party faulty hardware, for MAC, it's simply because their OS is suck. Just wonder why Apple Sweden website is running Solaris, not MAC OSX. Maybe they know their OS is not reliable.
For those who doubt whether MAC really crashes or not, watch this youtube video. It's a proof that MAC crashes a lot.
2. You can even run Windows.
Apple just invented BootCamp and then came out and say "Come all Windows users, buy our expensive hardware; you can still use your Vista". If you can indeed run Vista like on your normal PC, I wouldn't complain. But you know what, all the function keys will drive you crazy.
**F5 changes the volume instead of refreshing. **F4 lowers the volume instead of dropping a combo box. And if all that weren’t bad enough, THERE’S NO RIGHT CLICK BUTTON!!! So besides being pretty, there is no point using the hardware for Windows.
3. Macs run Microsoft Office.
Come on! This is the funniest thing of all. I am really wondering about this. I mean Microsoft Office runs on Microsoft Windows. It just ported to MAC doesn't mean we should switch to MAC. I just ask myself why should I switch when it's the exactly same on the mac?
4. Instant video chats.
Yeah! Yeah! Go and tell your grandmas. All PCs users are having great video chat, conference with Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! and so on since a long time ago.
5. Design that turns heads.
I won't deny MAC looks stylish, neat and tidy. The problem is that their focus on design hinders them from creating practical machines. If you have ever used the small round iMac mouse, you may have probably too suffered from aches in arm and hand.
6. No hunting for drivers.
Apple stated that USB and firewire devices will be working at MAC without having to install drivers. Well, that happens to PC since introducing Windows XP five years ago.
7. You can take it with you.
Apple website stated that most popular applications for MAC and PC use the same file formats, making it simple to exchange documents with friends and coworkers or move existing files from a PC to a MAC.
That is not true. We don't have to be genius to know that switching to the MAC means we will be sacrificing the diversity of software available for the PC. Sure, you get the essential word-processor and web-browser. But you will get Gtalk with only chatting, who would want Gtalk if you can't make voice chat?
8. 114,000 viruses? Not on a Mac.
Apple says their OS is based on UNIX, so it is more secure. But, in reality, the reason is that they can't make OS from scratch like Windows, so they adopted FreeBSD and put some make-up on it.
Of course, there are many viruses for Windows, but Apple forgot to state that there are many Antivirus choices for Windows users as well. Most PCs users who've got antivirus never really suffer from virus problem too. MAC is not virus free (Bad boys can release viruses) and Antivirus choice is very limited if there's any.
9. More fun with photos.
Apple is saying their so-called great invention program named iPhotos that will revolutionize the way we look at digital photos.
Maybe Mac users are new to digital photos on the computer but Windows users reached that stage of evolution ages ago.
10. Hollywood-style movies.
It seems that Apple thinks that they've revolutionized computing by developing mediocre software for viewing digital photos, editing video, burning CDs and DVDs and listening to music. Well they haven't!
So don't be fooled by Apple ads. You have nothing to gain by switching to a Mac. Apple has proved it on their website already. Who would want a mouse with just one button anyway???
