<p>I hate to jump into a Mac vs. PC war, but I really dislike these you-don’t-like-mac-cuz-u-cant-afford-it arguments. </p>
<p>A patched uxtheme.dll will give u access to hundreds of elegant visual styles. I don’t know which addon programs you have tried, but the good ones are certainly not crap. </p>
<p>And also, as a general rule for every software there is on OSX there’s a port or a similar program for windows.</p>
<p>Your bootcamp argument isn’t very convincing either. As “____” said, “Doesn’t it make more sense to pay less for a better pc and install OS X on Windows?”</p>
<p>@icfireball
there are so many flaws with that popular mechanics article i’m not even gonna bother</p>
<p>the linux news article is outdated. Look on dell or hp and you can easily find desktops that have better specs than macs yet still cheaper.</p>
<p>BOTTOM LINE TO THE OP:
don’t consider the arguments of any of us.
If want a mac, go buy a mac. The change is not as dramatic as people think. It’s still just a god damn computer. If you hate it then return it or switch back to windows on your next purchase. </p>
<p>If you want to know which one is better? Go screw yourself.</p>
