How Apple+Mac is better than Windows+Intel
psyjax:
Dude, Im sorry, I have to say the bigest advantage on the Mac side is the freakin OS. The computer's entire design works with the creative profesional in mind. As someone mentioned earlyer, the whole layout and MO of windows is counterproductive.
I work on Windows Machines and Mac's regularly, and I must say that working in PS7 is a dream on a Mac, where as on a PC it's a plodding nightmare.
YaY! The gaussian blur's prove.... that gausian blurs are faster on the PC?
WTF? Who cares, in the end, your overal productivity is improved on a Mac, I think most Mac users would agree.

That wasn't directed at you psyjax, it was directed at the mindless drones who claim the ppc is faster... duh. ;) Also, if multimedia development means rendering video stills, things that will tax processor/ram/io, etc... time is not an ally, nor is waiting for the machine. Sorry, but the x86 is beating the PPC right now. For graphic design, speed is a lesser point to argue, and for mostly political reasons, a mac is generally a better deal (less cross-platform bitching from print houses, generally less hassles, because some print houses are still running older software that does play as 'nice').
Yes, I am more productive on my Mac, relax... sheesh... I had to go for a moment, and was unable to write a long-winded dissertation on the usability benefits I experience under the single menu bar paradigm, or the more useful placement of keyboard shortcuts. I apoligize if I offended you. :rolleyes:

No offense, but this is a poor argument. I've seen total shit designers use a Mac, I've seen total shit designers use Windows. I've seen amazing designers work on Windows, and I have seen amazing design being done on a Mac. Not every creative professional is built the same you know.
Don't confuse the OS with the person who is using it.

Anyone can learn to work anywhere. That dosn't mean that where they are working is necissarly the best place to work.

This is true, and sorta my point. I know people who are more comfortable with Windows than OS X, and vice versa. Forcing one solution above all esle on someone doesn't allow for much happiness. I suggest a mixed environment for most production peeps : A dumb renderer/server (I recommend x86, it's cheaper and faster) a few wintels for those who like them, and a few macs for those who like them too. All in all, everyone is happy, and it works well too... I can attest to that.
I will say this: Everyone should at least try OS X for an extended time if they have an interest. Or just buy an iBook or something... ;)
