Hi again,

Bennet has been ranting about how useless and crappy dells are (we know that already) now he has turned his Scottish anger to the simple company of Apple.
(Bennets anger is here: http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry1474.html )

Quite funny if you read it

But to the defence of Apple (i am crazy) there purpose is for graphics and media, they do this great. Microsoft cant compete with them at media and graphics because windows is designed to make money for Mr Gates. Yes everything with 'i' in it is apple related, it is just a brand name, like Keloggs or Windows. Stop whining bout it.

In other news, my braces were of this afternoon! unexpected how it was, they are finally off, good riddance, lightning attractor or what ~ metal near brain is a big no.

Anyways half of my AS exams are already done, only physics and 1 maths remain, wish me luck Daniweb.

Good night

~ Serunson ~

Short, factual context to balance the thread: Apple and Microsoft are both for-profit companies that make different design tradeoffs. Macs historically emphasize integrated hardware+software, a curated app ecosystem, and workflows popular in graphics, audio, and video production. Windows targets a much wider range of hardware and use cases, which gives broader compatibility and price choices but also more variability in drivers and system behavior.

A major, often-overlooked change since older debates is Apple Silicon. Apple moved from Intel CPUs to its own ARM-based chips (M1/M2 family). That shift improved battery life and single-chip performance, but it also changed how Windows and some legacy x86 apps run on Macs. Boot Camp is not available on Apple Silicon; Windows on ARM runs under virtualization on modern Macs, and not all x86-only Windows software behaves the same. For anyone weighing Mac vs PC today, CPU architecture and Windows compatibility are live considerations.

Practical checklist for a decision: list the exact apps and plugins that must run and verify macOS support or viable alternatives; confirm driver support for any specialized peripherals; if Windows-only software is required, decide between a native PC, a used Intel Mac (if Boot Camp is needed), or current Mac + virtualization (and test the target apps); weigh repairability and upgrade paths versus the up-front cost and resale value; factor in gaming needs (Windows still leads there).

Acknowledgements: makes a valid point about creative workflows being a strong Mac use case. is correct that a lowercase "i" prefix is not exclusive to Apple. — exam luck noted. The core decision should be technical and workflow-driven rather than brand-driven.

Good luck with the exams. The one advantage of being an old dude is that my exam days are long, long past me :)

Um, you mean Macs aren't designed to make money for Mr. Jobs?

Wrong. There are lots of products/software that have their name prefixed with an undercase 'i' and have nothing to do with Apple.

I don't really see the reasoning behind creating an entire blog entry just so you can criticize jbennet's blog entry with a single paragraph. A comment on his blog would have been more appropriate, in my opinion.
