  • I think it can be compared. I went to try and download quicktime 6.4 for my pc, and what do I find? itunes.exe is the install file. Well I just wanted to be able to see quicktime movies not the whole deal. iTunes seems to be a media player with a st…

  • Intel isn't god. IA-64 isn't the future. Whatever happens will be seen based on marketshare between AMD, Intel, and VIA in the next 5 years.

  • They make sense. Dell does not make software. Someone was argueing that Dell spends more R&D streamlining production. Where as Apple does more R&D on software. Which is true considering Dell isn't a software company.

  • Winamp does its job... it doesn't need a fancy layout or cool brushed metal. It does what it is supposed to do with out the fluff, thats why its the best Media player on PC and will continue to be so.

  • Microsoft is a business. They want profit they want bottom line, they want to own what they create. They are no differnt then most of the business that create and sell products. If apple wouldn't of been so generous in the past maybe they wouldn't o…

  • I was the sole network admin at a High School. We had roughtly 250 PCs most running Windows 98, due to costs. We had a Windows 2000 Server and 2 NT SQL servers. How many serious problems did we have in 3 years? None. Nothing crashed, nothing burned.…

  • Dell doesn't make software. So its natural to assume that they do not put as much money into creating products as apple does, because it does create both software and hardware.

  • Besides, I listen to alot of shoutcast streams, and shoutcast is a winamp plugin. So it makes sense that I use winamp. Winamp isn't ugly, is a compact player that does its job, and it does it pretty damn good.

  • Developement is cheaper if you are using opensource... you have more programers that you don't have to pay, you cannot deny that it is cheaper.

  • Just becuase I use windows, and see that it has merits, I'm a troll... just becuase I don't worship apple, I am a troll. I will say it again. I will be buying an iBook as soon as my supervisor swaps hers for a new PB. I'm buying it becuase I need a …

  • You are comparing 2 completely different PC architectures. G5 is RISC, x86 is a CISC platform. CISC and RISC aren't as far apart as they used to be. There was a huge difference in the old days between the 2, nowadays RISC and CISC are hard to tell a…

  • I feel winamp is superior, to be quite honest with you. It plays everything except real media, just fine, including Quicktime. This of course is on the PC, if I was using linux mplayer far outweighs iTunes.

  • I'm not trolling. Besides that doesn't elude to a flaw. If you know anything at all about Game Consoles you understand that they are very refined to doing gaming and thats about it. Thats why they use custom chips becuase they are specially designed…

  • I dislike iTunes. I would prefer the drag and drop way, on the smaller nonmovable parts mp3 players. iTunes is the lesser of 2 evils. I have seen people here install Musicmatch willingly. On average, I've only seen one person who had bought music, m…

  • OSX uses alot of open source software... I would be willing to be R&D on Windows is higher then that of OSX.

  • Game Consoles have only used x86 once. That was the XBox. Most consoles ran custom chips. The Dreamcast had an SH4 for instance. Seeing game consoles as not using x86 is very common, and it has been the standerd from some time.

  • I haven't done it.. but there is no real point to get the 2k one... The 2k track is about dead. Go for XP and the 2003 Server track if anything. XP or 2K is a peice of cake to get, and looks nice a resume. 125 dollars is hardly alot to take the t…

  • PC's and Apples share many things in common. PCI, IDE cables, Hard Drives... many things are shared in common. The only real differences are that they use a different chip and chip architecture. Ethernet Chips, Firewire, USB, ect.. are all the same …
