    1.Harder to use than windows and less features , how the hell can i right click
    2.Lack of games and softwares THAT INTEREST ME
    3.I dont like the interface
    4.Crashes
    5.More people use widows
    6.Seems slower than windows...
    7.As said before , the price...
    1. Bullshit; Maybe you need to learn how to use a real OS?

    2. That may be so, however, there are many alternatives for software. (Not to mention, that Microsoft just loves Office X )

    3. Ok..

    4. Windows crashes on most computers everyday! OS X seperates its programs from the OS where the whole system does not shut down, also it includes the nifty feature "Force Quit" that closes the program and allows you to return to your OS.

    5. And? The recently released OS X is now compatible with network printers, and files. What's the problem?

    6. Doubtful.

    7. Not all things in life are free.

    windows does exactly the same its just the mac os is designed for specfic hardware. if mac had to run on bog standard x86 hardware then im sure it would crash alot more often then windows.

    the latest mac os also uses openbsd's kernel and im pretty sure alot fo the gnu apps will run on mac but i have never really looked into it.

    the only valid points i've come across against macs are the price, which considering what you are getting is worth it and not much gaming. people whining about games being too expensive on mac are being ridiculous, we are a file sharing community right? who pays for their games anyway. if i want to play games i download them and crack them, and if they are windows only, i boot into windblows for a little bit and play a game.

    I don't use a Mac because I can't afford it... ;(
    If i could afford it, of course i'd buy it! It's simply the best!
    Piracy.. Is more a religion than a crime. And we do all have different religions. Don't we?!

    I built my own PC, so I'm not supposed to install mac on it anyway

    As far as gaming goes, cracked games can't really play multiplayer. On the CoD series, you could play on cracked servers, but those suck. On the BF series, you couldn't play at all (except LANs) and WoW is uncrackable
    Took a look at the specifications on iMac and Mac Pro. They have decent graphics, but damn, they're expensive

    Another thing I don't like about macs is the way they're advertised. "OMG Macs are cooler than PC's". I seriously don't care about how 'cool' my computer is, and Macs are really PC's (Personal Computer?) so I don't know why they say they're not. All their ads are Windows bashing, and not really promoting their own product as much

    I'm a Mac user since the early 90's and own a couple of them (PPC ones). I might move to a high end hackintosh (foolish to use a Mac Pro just for p2p, running boinic clients) and a proper one at work.

    I've never seen the need to switch over to Mac. Windows has always been fine for me. It's like they always say "Don't fix it if it ain't Broke" .

    I don't use one but my girlfriend does. We went to many pc shops to buy some software or games and they all sold macbooks but NONE had mac software - but ALL had windows software. I think that is one of the main reasons I will never use one.
