Mac or PC?
Posted on | October 24, 2008 |
Which one are you?
Everyone knows the deeply embedded stereotypes: Mac users are cool, unshaven and use their computers for creative, edgy pursuits in music, art and video while the PC people are boring, overweight number-crunching nerds with a really thick laptop. Then again, PC enthusiasts probably think that Mac guy is a smug slacker with an ever thinning, over-priced MacBook that can’t do any serious computing anyway. Funny thing is, both stereotypes are wrong. With a 7.5 percent market share, Macs are no longer just the computer choice of artists and unemployed writers. (Apple is, in fact, the fourth largest computer manufacturer in the world.) And now, more than ever, the guts of both platforms are much more the same than different. Both machines use Intel processors. Both buy memory, hard drives and graphics cards from the same small pool of suppliers. While both operating systems are uniquely different; Microsoft Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard have surprisingly similar built-in multimedia, Internet and productivity applications.
Yet what makes the platforms feel so different is their approach to getting the same job done. Internet Explorer versus Safari, Windows Media Center versus Front Row, Photo Gallery versus iPhoto, Backup and Restore Center versus Time Machine—these system components from Microsoft and Apple are designed to accomplish essentially the same goals. But to users, the position and movement of the virtual knobs and levers make all the difference.
So, the next time you see one of those popular ads and begin to ask yourself which one you prefer, remember this: In the end, the same thing happens to both computers when flung out of a moving truck!
