Now these arent the best of specs for a Pc.. but a PC with this much specs can do a whole lot more than a Mac can.. It can browse the web freely with lots of different compatiable browsers that dont screw up.. unlike Safari.. My PC Can also right click freely (haha)

Heres my top ten things a mac cant do which i found on a website:

1. there are still no decent appz can audio/video chat with pc world, Let's just think with only lower than 5% market share, we have still a lot of people do not own a mac! skype only do audio well, wengo advertised to do both audio and video, but never got it to work with my girlfriend. if I've missing something, please just remind me.

2. As I think there are not a single piece of appz can handel internet streaming TV programs on Mac, comparing to the pc world, they have tons of them... like ppstream and pplive

3. Ok, Apple said mac can run microsoft office, does it run well?! to be strict, NO! when I read an on pc exported excel file on mac, then export it into CSV file, and import this CSV file into MySQL, it acts just weird! when I open the same excel in openoffice, it does have better compatibility than microsoft office. hope Apple will finally have their own spreadsheet app.

4. Mac is lack of CAD software, but we still have some alternative: (LightWave3D with LWCAD plugin, google sketchup, and Vectorworks)

5. flash in browser runs slowly

6. BAD playback of windows media files

7. safari still have some compatibility issues with some sites, sometimes runs laggy.

8. ichat AV needs to automatic detect NAT, Firewall type and run over them, and maybe just as good as skype!

9. no good native dictionary applications like babylon on pc, stardict in linux world.

10. lack of Mechanical Engineering software

Things a PC Can do:

Everything the Mac cant!

Warning: The things a PC can do is my opinion and my opinion only and not particularly the opinion of Pixel2Life.com

Meaning, the load time of a flash file is a lot slower on Mac then on PC

Every browser available for PC also has a mac version.

Someone has been sitting under I rock.

Apple Computer retail stores are selling Parallels' virtualization software, allowing users to run Windows and Mac applications simultaneously, http://www.parallels.com/ your arguement just went out the door.

But Donna.. they never get finished lol.. We need some solid proof of which machine is the real winner.. It will take ages.. lol.. because i suppose it all boils down to perfomance and compatabilities..

PC- play games
Mac - design and livfe stuff

you just have to remember that almost in 90% od the computers, there is a nerd behind.

I don't understand those discutions, there is space for everyone in the world!
