Yesterday, I post about 5 facts that PCs are better than Macs. And the impact are huge.I got some emails that so harsh to read. But none of you didn’t know that I was a Macs fanatic myself..

So, then I list why Macs are better than Pcs

1) Cheaper In The Long Run 

-The oldest Macs that can run Apple’s latest operating system have just celebrated their eight birthday, yet all but a handful of the oldest Vista-ready Pcs were still just kit and components this time last year. Macs are often criticized for being overpriced, but when you spread the cost over their respective working lives, the Mac comes out cheaper than a Pc.

2) Greater Stability

-Macs do crash, and anyone who tells you they don’t is a liar, but the tightly controlled UNIX-based operating system is far more capable when it comes to isolating and terminating problematic applications than Windows. Pc’s come from baby-and-bathwater school of conflict management and throe out the whole lot-data,app and OS-in exchange for a garish blue screen and a forced reboot.

3) Mac Office Is Better 

- The very first version of Office was out a year before the Pc, and it continues to innovate under Mac OS X, with many features appearing on Apple hardware first. Plus, the operating system’s built-in support for creating PDFs means Mac users have been rolling out their spreadsheet as Acrobat files for more than half a decade, while Windows workers have only just been granted that feature with Office 2007(and even then, it’s an optional download).

4) More Secure 

- For one thing, the operating system is built on a Unix core, with all the restricted and tiered permissions management that affords. For another, the fact it has a smaller user base than Windows counts in its favor, since for the last 20 years hackers and script kiddies have largely left it alone.

5) Mods Don’t Rule

- Nobody ever thought a Mac would look better with neon lighting and a glowing water cooling system. What does that say about Apple’s eye for design?

6) Goodies Use Macs, Baddies Use Pcs 

- Studies have shown that Hollywood has a tendency to make its baddies use Pcs, and its heroes use Macs. Fact. That’s why Jack Bauer and his CTU colleagues on 24 solve major terrorist threats using machines built for OS X. And when Jeff Goldblum wanted to infect the Independence Day mothership with a virus to save the world from destruction, what did he use? A PowerBook 5300. Except, of course, you won’t find a virus on Mac.
