Ever had one?

I do find them more expensive than PC's, they load up quicker because there aren't as many programs made for them,

Really? What Like word/excel/powerpoint etc, along with video editing/photo editing/ music editing etc. I have all of those and then some. Don't you mean as many pointless memory hogging applications?

games are basically unplayable on them

I know. I suppose the perfect machine would be one that did all things for all people, but one that does that seem to have a lot of failure points - any windows machine seems to suffer from this. I play my games on the dedicated machine designed for that purpose - Xbox or PS3 etc.

they are really only made for Photoshop and Itunes

Really? So photo editing and storing/organising music are something you don't want to do with a computer?

they dont get viruses because virus makers think its a waste of time.

And that's meant to be a bad thing? LOL.....get a machine that gets virused up to the eyeballs every 10 seconds....now you are really computing!!!

They are expensive to repair when they go wrong (Apple G4 ibook - £590 for a mainboard or logic board).

And PC's many faults are dirt cheap to repair? In 7 years of PC owning I spent thousands upgrading and repairing and replacing. In 2 years of Mac ownership I have paid........nothing.It hasn't gone wrong. I know that Macs can go wrong as any other machine but of all my friends who own one I have yet to hear as many horror stories.

They are being used less and less for graphics and video editing because they aren't powerful enough anymore

Really? What's this based on? I could walk you down a bunch of roads in London where Architects and designers seem to use Macs. I guess they didn't hear what you said.

when opening different desktops like on the new ones, so many processes gets used and the whole thing slows down sooooo much!!

You're describing a PC here. As I type this I am listening to itunes whilst watching a dvd. 3 Large processes open, not a glitch in any of them. I struggled to even do one of these things without getting a major crash or a good virus bombing on my Windoze pile of crap.

Really sorry if I offend any Mac users, the OS is quite nice and they look quite nice but unfortunately the whole system is not. If you need a cheap PC or laptop they are inexpensive for pretty good systems and will always run more programs, and do it better.

Cheap isn't always better though, and for all the problems inherent in Windows (vista anyone?)I won't be leaving Macs. Initial cost - pricey. Longevity - high. Need to upgrade soundcard/graphics card/antivirus software/any number of applications every 5 minutes when something new comes out - nope.

There are a few OS for you to use now as well if you don't like Windows

I agree with you there
