Why The Mac is Better Than The PC: Crapware

InsanelyGreatMac has an excellent article outlining another point in the ongoing battle of which is better: PC or Mac? The article gives the examples of computer companies such as Sony, which install "crapware" (or demo versions of software that you have to manual uninstall) on new machines.

I hear lots of reasons Mac is better than PC, strange how they never include Mac's "legendary" support or the fact that every store in the world that sells computer hardware or software is stuffed with things for the PC.

For those who don't know: Mac's support is legendary for being rude as hell.

It would seem that roughly about 90% of consumers agree that the PC is better. : )

@ 1.1

^^

90% of consumers are more familiar with pc....doesn't always mean they agree it's better.

JsonHenry6621d ago

^^

If a product has at LEAST a 90% market share - then it would not matter if it was duct-taped together and runs on AAA batteries - it is the better product. At least in the eyes of the consumer it does, and that is what counts.

Personally, I don't have anything against the Mac. Other than the fact it is a closed system. When people can buy the OS, and then go to Newegg.com to order parts to build their own system you would see a huge jump in number of Mac OS enabled machines.

Macs are too expensive. Ma lil nikkas cant spend a G on a fuc1ng computer dey wan spent it on chronic. Dats why dey by PCs cause they cheap but ima buy 1 of ma lil boys a mac for his party next week its gon be off the chain no wha im sayin.

Whoooop6621d ago (Edited 6621d ago )

As much as I love G-Unit, Shady Records and Aftermath... please translate the hip-hop crapguage into common english language...

Not even Tony yayo writes like that...

drewdrakes6621d ago

I spent 1700 dollars on a PC. I got PC because it doesnt suck. I couldve bought a mac, but what does it do that a PC doesnt. Especially considering im smart enough to remove things I dont need.

Kaneda6621d ago

MAC can dual both MAC OS and Windows.. I don't think PC can do that.. you have to go thru a lot of trouble to have MAC OS X to run on PC... and less viruses...

gw4k6621d ago

Hahah This guys knows nothing about computers. haha HP blows and you know what, HP is a PC maker. haha

Danielson6621d ago

i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was supposed to be a joke. (a really bad one)

if u were serious then ??? wtf ???

Azures6621d ago

John Hodgman is way funnier than Mac will ever be. So much so that Mac's actual name has become forfeit to his annoying commercial identity.

gw4k6621d ago

You all know it by now, but there is another os and that is Linux. Free, powerful, and SECURE.

I love it.

This is my ratings.

Linux then MAC then Windows..

This of course is based on my needs.

If you are a gamer, you should go in this order....

Windows then MAC then Linux.

MAC over Linux is a tough call. No one in their right mind will game on a MAC. haha

G-unit6621d ago

Its so confusing to install software on it. You got to configure Yum and do some things there, its a pain in the @ss. Get a Mac dawg.

drewdrakes6621d ago

I tried to install ubuntu on my laptop. Eventually got it all working, but initially the graphics wouldnt. Then i got the graphics working. Then on reboot they stopped working. Then i had to reinstall ubuntu and try again. Then the graphics were working perfectly. Then i tried to install sound, which in turn screwed up graphics. Then i uninstalled graphics and reinstalled and then i was cool. Oh ya, graphics and wireless randomly dont work on boot one time and then do the next, uh why?

G-unit6621d ago

Looking at your avatar, you probably have a PS3, and when you have a PS3 I dont see any purpose at all of playing games on your PC.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
