Do you like Mac or PC or both
#17
RE: Do you like Mac or PC or both
"Mac" has always referred to machines built by Apple that are intended by Apple to run a "Mac OS." "PC" has come to mean a machine intended to be used with a Microsoft Windows OS. These are the assumptions behind the OP's question and these are these have been the traditional meanings behind these words for at least 10 years. So what if you Moros think "PC" means any AMD or Intel desktop? Words change meaning all the time. Whatever terms you want to use, recognizing a distinction between Apple's computers that are designed to run Mac OS and other computers intended to run Windows OS is still useful because (1) Apple computers are the only computers preloaded with Mac OS X, (2) the OS was designed with Apple's specific hardware configurations in mind and not other companies', (3) Apple's mice and keyboard have buttons that correspond to specific functions found only in the Mac OS. "Mac" is the term that has come to represent this specific hardware and software configuration that exists. A "hackintosh" isn't the same as a Mac because it is not the same basic hardware + software experience. It's in another category.

Mac vs. PC is not like Nike Shoes vs other shoes. It's more like sandals versus shoes. Sure, you could take a pair of scissors and turn shoes into sandals but are you really going to then say there is then no useful distinction between them?
My ignore list
