Do You Use A Mac?

[Antony Le]

Mac man as well, i bought my lovely imac and had it sitting on my desk cause i was too lazy to learn a new OS. one day my windows laptop died... and i HAD to use my mac.... no looking back

I've always been a PC guy. I actually really love Windows 7. Recently two of my good friends both bought Macs and I think I'm about to go out and snag one too. I think I will use both. I just want the Mac because it edits videos so much better. I have a brand new PC with the newest chipset and everything and it still doesn't edit videos in Sony Vegas as well a Mac does in iMovie...

I know this has nothing to do with the original question of file types on a Mac but I thought I'd share my input. The friends that I know that use Macs have never told me of a problem running any software on their comps. Besides, I'll always keep a PC as well because I think there's use for both...

About a year ago I switched from a diehard Windows guy to a Mac lover. Since the time that I've had a Mac, I've only needed to use Parallels (the Windows platform) for a couple design programs. I rarely use these programs, so it's not too much of a pain.

It seems like the software guys are realizing more people are turning to Macs, so there really isn't a problem like there used to be with crossing your fingers and hoping a program would run on Mac. I've been waiting for a time like this, so that's why I finally took the leap.

Other than EXE files (which Parallels runs), you should be just fine running things on Macs.

I converted just over a year ago - until then i was a die hard PC user.

Never, never again will i go back to a PC. When i first got my IMac, i was scared, so i installed Fusion (similar to Parralells) and had it running windows. Then i found that i hardly ever used it - eventually about 8 months ago, i took windows off and Fusion too.

I still have a couple of windows laptops and whenever i have to use them (when i am on the move), i cannot believe how slow and clunky they are.

My Mac has never crashed once and it is operational 14-16 hours a day.

As for software, there really is very little that you can't now get for a Mac that is either equivalent or better

I switched to full time Mac about a year ago and don't regret it at all. I still do run Fusion running Windows XP on the Mac for the few programs I need that don't work on the Mac OS.

Like which ones you ask? The main ones are...
- SENuke
- Traffic Travis
- Speed PPC
- The Best Spinner

Good luck.

I switched to a Mac in Spring last year and haven't looked back...

The only thing it can't do is open .exe files, but the pro's >>>>> con's.

I'll never move back to a PC ;D

Mac's have been a standard in the publishing industry for years. I use both but prefer the Mac for anything creative. I keep my mac on for days at a time and it ha never crashed. Works much faster for video production as well.

But as far as a compatibility issue most things that are required for any digital product are not a problem unless it's a .exe file, which some people have a hesitation with anyways because of the potential of viruses etc.

I really don't see that as a problem......after all, there are programs and software compatible with any kind of computer....just check it first before downloading it... goodluck....
