That's not really a benefit, considering that you can get Windows Vista for free as well. I think that much of the "benefit" of using Linux is the feeling of superiority and expertise that it brings to its users. I can't see any practical benefit from using Linux, in fact is gives many practical disadvantages.

I was going to get a mac due to the more stable os but its just much more money period. You can get insane deals on windows laptops and their is no such thing in the mac world. You are forced to pay the going apple rates.

do macs have a right click mouse?

The "stable" OS myth is bogus. I've used multiple laptops both running on XP and Vista and there has been no instability to speak of. The current laptop I have which runs on Vista is solid as a rock, there's no need to waste your money with a Mac OS system, the benefit is mostly hype.

It doesnt ever crash, for me, atleast, its faster, frees up a little space on ur system, and it much better organized. Plus u get 2 desktops u can switch between, so double the work space.

Im terrible with computer and use Linux. it has no disadvantages. An windows programs can be run with Win4Lin, a free software. I previously had windows vista, and had to wipe my drive twice because of a faulty OS

I think you press a button while clicking

Hey, hey, I was going to buy myself
an expensive 24" screen Imac Intel,
thinking it was exceptionnal, concerning bugs, spams,
and other such common things on a windows....
But, I had the opportunity to work on both of them,
Imac and Windows, and I can assure you
that the Imac does crazy things also,
which ones, I can't remember very well,
since this occured in june/july 2007.
A friend of mine, who's webmaster,
told me that Imacs get into troubles
(almost) as often as a Windows.
His father was a journalist,
and had an Imac. My friend was fed up
with the troubles the Imac got into constantly.
I'm so glad I didn't buy an Imac,
EXPENSIVE, and as "troublable"
as any Windows System...

It's JUST nice...

I don't know why macs don't have a right click or even a 3rd scrolll button
-
Nope not I

I don't know why macs don't have a right click or even a 3rd scrolll button
Becuase they want to look modern and futuristic ::)
you can buy a normal mouse for them though..

time changed.
my laptop has a trackpad to right-click/scroll just by using both index/middle finger, and clicking with 1 finger.
Mouses are conected via USB or bluetooth, and have 4 buttons and vertical and horizontal scroll.

i have a G5 , and a macbook.
The MacBook is a bit less quality than the MacBookPro.
I'd buy a desktop-model instead of iMac. They are real good computers. MacPRo/G5/G4

A 3 button mouse works on a mac?

What's better AMD or Pentium4?

I have a MacBook

I think a laptop of 1000-3000 $ and a desktop of 2500-16.000$ is a bit expensive, but for my work it is better than PC.

What I hate about mac and windows, is that all advertisements are pro- multi-cultural.

yes, in Apple commerials and apple products there is always Asians? ;D

I use Fedora Core 4 at work for my server, needs to be updated, I use FreeBSD on my dedicated servers.
Linux is more stable than Windows for server use, no GUI (option to) means less use of memory and CPU, no worries of memory leaks, less exploits out there (though they exist), and i've had a uptime of 330 days without a reboot.

I think that's great. Reboot once a year...

Linux is a nice O.S. and it NEVER EVER freezes, but I would never in my right mind suggest it to someone who doesn't have a specific purpose already in mind for it.
If you don't want to give to Bill Gates, then download a Pirated Windows XP. If you are too moral to do this, then buy a MAC.

Linux is alright, I prefer Macs over Linux though ;)

What's better AMD or Pentium4? or is mac faster than all of them?
-
AMD is better, but Macs switched to Intel chips which are also pretty good.

AMD is better by far in speed? Macs have Intel chips? Does intel mean pentium? so macs have the same chips as pentium4? thnx

you're welcome ;)

thnx Amb. so MacPro is the fastest desktop?

Not sure if it is the fastest though ;)

for mac it is the only desktop.
I think you can buy Windows / UNIX /Linux machines with the same specs, but the price tag, normally isn't lower than mac.
yes

Macs are overall more User-Friendly for me. ;)
