WOW. what a difference.

BAD used car salesman VS. Real Class.

@Dem – I use a PC at work (not for much longer, we are awaiting our Macs) – and 2 Macs at home. I’ve used both over the years at various jobs and at home. From personal experience, PCs are slower, and the longer you own them, the more and more they get bogged down from “background items” (isn’t that the description of a VIRUS?). The Mac OS is smoother and more streamlined. And no, Macs don’t rip you off. You can keep a Mac WAY longer than 2-4 years – and it will STILL run smooth. PCs on the other hand, are toast by then. (I’ve replaced my fair share of PCs too – so I’m speaking from experience)

It’s cool to see these vids. i’ve been using computers for 21 years now. I have to say i am a fan of Windows. No matter what you say about Steve Job’s ‘class’ and Ballmer’s yelling, the only thing that matters is who is on top now.
Clearly Windows is no.1. The faults with Windows are always greatly exagerrated. Since XP i think they’ve got it right. I use windows 64 vista right now. No problems with it at all. Some people rave about video editing, photo editing, and music creation being better on mac… can somebody please tell me why? adobe cs4 is identical on both formats. so i can personally rule out photo editing since i use this a lot.
Not only this, but Mac rips people off. Their products are way more expensive compared to their similar competitors products. Take their dekstops, music players… and i-phone! They are being very smart in that they are winning the ‘style’ war and there are shallow enough people out their that will spend money for things that look good when they could have got better specs for a cheaper price.

Makes you wonder how they got away with owning 90% of the planet with their OS.

Steve has always had it. Too bad the video is unwatchable unless you mute it.

I did use that first Mac. as a graphic designer. It was like a miracle to me. I did work with passion realizing the great change & advantages. The Mac was pretty expensive than and the Lazer printer, but in no time I did so much work and payed it all. I am a Mac fan all this years.

Good comparison. Ballmer screams at you to buy his product. While Steve Jobs has a classy presentation, and actually lets the product demo show what’s great about the product. The other thing is that the Mac in 1984 was light years ahead of Windows 1.0 that came out two years later! In fact the first useable version of Windows was 3.1 and it came out in 1992 (eight years after the Mac).
