Mountain Lion Sucks. I put it on my machine and it went from great to crap. It’s been stuck on Crap ever since. Most programs lock up at random. I never know what will work and what won’t. I send in reports to MAC daily on problems. The whole machine locks up now too. It’s like I went back to windows 95. In fact it locked up while I was doing this form….. perfect!

I have two accounts on each of my macs, just for me…

Ditto – over hyped and extrememly flawed in my experience. This is, of course, heresy and I expect to be shouted down by the Apple community.

Hmm, Myexperience with the wonderful world of Apple is extremely poor – My late 2010 iMac, since installing Mountain Lion now takes an age to connect to my NAS – useless, in fact. MUY – I would steer well clear of Apple – the OS is over-hyped with lots of shiney stuff. Basic functionality such as connecting to network drives is hopeless. An Apple user is expected to be able to use arcane commands at Terminal level – hardly the most advanced OS in the world!. My iMacs drive died after 18 months costing me a further £300 – disgraceful. Apple couldn’t care less.

You’re dumb. You have never owned a top of the line windows machine, if at all. How did it break? lol! I have windows machines that I have built for 300 dollars and they still work. Don’t kid yourself, because you aint foolin me. You make it sound like the PC just goes poof! and starts falling apart right? right. And for the record, all PC’s and so called Macs are made from the same damn plastic dummy.

You’re referring to Unix right? The same Unix that Mac OS is built upon?

I hope you mac whores realise that Apple make a huge profit on the computers themselves. that’s why they can give you a cheap OS. Microsoft only make money on the OS, which is why you pay more

We did and love it! But for the business workstations we went with iMac’s and iPads for the employees. We still have some Windows PC’s in use also but honestly I am loving the Macs. I’ve used Windows PC’s my whole life and if i had not decided to order 2 Macs to start, I’d never have known how great they are. DH will decide if he wants to upgrade his dept. to Windows 8.

We use Macs which perform beautifully in our business and home. The Macs are the newest computers. People seem to really like using them and the work flow has not suffered.

We don’t need new computers in our home or business so we have to look at that cost.

By: bealb

bealb — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 05:33:00 +0000

With our business and home computers that’s been our thought. The Mac’s are all upgraded, the $19 upgrade was for all of the Macs. Some in our business have tested Windows 8. I’ll have to do it myself to see what I want to do there, stay with Win 7 or upgrade.

Mountain Lion is great! I don’t know if or when we’ll upgrade our Window’s PC’s but the Macs are all upgraded and we love the new release

And if you just bought a mac it is free to upgrade

really? i have seen a lot of offers, that allows you to upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8 for just a 14,99€, when you buy a new laptop with a windows 7.

GET A MAC PRO DUDE!!!!! AWSOME WORKSTATIONS

By: Matti

Matti — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:25:00 +0000

Please stop saying “Tile”. True tiling only comes with tiling window managers; like Dwm, xMonad, Subtle, etc… You know, X window managers found in operating systems you can do real work on. Windows 8 and OS X both don’t support these anymore.

Heck, the last time OS X ran xMonad without issue was back when it was still a real OS, Tiger.

if i didnt use a mac i would get the dell coming out with ubuntu.

i am seriously considering getting one.

i would use windows if i needed to build a tower as apple has gone mobile. to run photo shop on a big anti glare monitor.

i think apple should tend to the people who create content more. movies music photographers need workstations.

Just for reference, if you’re going to blur your email address out, you should do a better job. Its obvious its an @slashgear.com email address, and theres only one character between whats blanked out and the @ sign. The one character has a tail pointing to the right, meaning its probably just your last initial, G. So .. vincentg@slashgear.com eh?

Why choose Sony over Dell laptops?
Why choose Rolex over Casio watches?
Because people choose to get them of course, nothing go do with which is better.

Is there a tile to turn off those tiles off? I for example, don’t have the need to login to the email programs all the time (privacy issues?) Calender? same issue, people tile? same issue, so on and so forth. weather tile? you can’t type the letters “weather” to the google bar and get more detail results about the weather like radar map, chances of rain, snow etc.? News? Sports? do they have detail reports as ESPN? Articles? No. All the information quickly but not a lot of important detail. Are we getting that lazy? We can’t open up a web browser and do it? Look at it this way: you’re trading “all the personal information at a quick glance” for the productivity of say, the way windows used to work. You’re no longer can switch quickly between windows anymore. From the start, windows 8 was designed for a touchscreen interface. So it’s not going to work like wonder for the desktop/ laptop without a touch screen. I don’t like MAC simply because of the way they forced you to do, but windows 8 is not a good alternative either. It’s just that the metro UI is really ugly (IMHO) and unintuitive to use. Remember sidebars introduced in windows vista? that can give you quick look at weather, calender, images etc. But it eat up resources and battery if you’re on a laptop. Go around and read articles around the web, most don’t include the words “beautiful,” and/or “productivity” with “windows 8″ together. May be this: windows 8′s metro tiles beautifully destroying a user’s productivity. The metro UI is definitely not designed for me.

I’ve always been a Windows Professional user because it allows multiple user accounts for my wife and I. Is this posssible in OSX?

if you bought a new Mac anytime since June 11 ????
Surely you must mean June 12 …. as it says on the Apple website.
OR am I mistaken
