This is an old, false cliche. If you don't f*** up your computer, it won't crash

fault of broken hardware or crappy software instead of Windows' fault.

Thats why the deal with apple machines is the "full construct computer", works like a charm... smooth hardware and software integration.

I don't know what stores you talk about, but when I buy a Windows machine, I know that it works, too. In most cases, it's the user that is to blame for bluescreens and crashes, not the operating system.

I started using macs (20 years ago), back to Windows (15 years ago) and back to mac (3 years ago) ... i have Ubuntu (that i love), Windows 7, and MacOs installed in my macbook pro. On my day long i use a Desktop PC with windows XP. Man, im not a fan boy.... but i can tell you... that Windows PCs sucks. Windows degrade with use, its a phenomenon. hahah But ok, good luck with your question post. PS: "Its the users fault" its a Homer's Simpson phrase. For me as a developer: Its aways my fault.

For example 1. IPod had no new features than an MP3 player cannot have but it was cool and it was a phenomenon 2. IPhone, any new feature ? well touch screen was there but not utilized in that way ever, apart from that everything else was there

Do you have a Iphone or a Ipod?... you should try to buy a computer from apple and compare with your regular PC.

Microsoft has a Tablet for almost 5 years now, they have got everything but success. Amazon Kindle eReader is a reading device which does not utilize the technology to the full but earns by limiting them, you don't have USB port to transfer to and from your device.

Its very wrong to make this implicit comparison. The biggest goal for Apple is not the computational features (USB, Wifi, HD Size, Screens - Windows Computers aways beat Apple on that stuffs), but how that are assembled. You cannot compare this products, its like compare a Bowers & Wilkins speaker and a regular JVC. Of course, both can produce 150W but the sound quality is different (probably JVC gonna have 2500W, and still sucks). This question is a speculative so its a loose of time. You gave your opinion, now i can give mine: If you don't like the Apple products, don't buy.... This tablet will rock for who enjoy apple products, but MS fans will still continue saying things like "But Microsoft's Tablet have USB 2.0 and 432432GHz and 41432143 RAM". The Apple customers don't care about this anymore, we know that "we buy. It works", just that. Best Regards PS: In 3 years my Apple computer never crashed... no blue screens or any other "unexpected behaviors"... working every day, all day long. How many times your computer have crashed this week?? Think about.

GIT rocks!..... you should try GitHub too... great community and service... if you signin my user in github is tcha-tcho best regards from brazil!

"C for kids", oh my good! pls, let they like of development, start with Ruby, and save her lifes. :)

man! you save my day! this is the coolest think on mac! i gonna use to make views, but the logic i still will use textmate (the better notepad for programmers in earth) tks so much

Hey csharp3r, You should try TextMate (only on mac), im using to dev in several languages and its really a tool from hell... im very very satisfied with textmate. And i (dont understain why) am very much productive in that notepad from the inferno than in VS (that i use before) :) Netbeans and Eclipse, for mac, is cool too if you like IDE. Best regards! Malpeli Im using Parallels here too. Because of Silverlight tools... its revolting MS dont make Expression to Mac... but ..........

Windows is a *****... cmon guys!! Is just to hit the green button with the "+" icon... ridiculous! Mac is miles in front of windows system... i develop many years in windows, after buy a mac i think all those years that i lost time updating antivirus and trying to make him safe...mac is much stable than windows and is another kind of computer... you are comparing a beatle with a ferrari :P Best Regards from brazil

the railers are using something beautiful called http://www.lighthouseapp.com... its simple... costumers like that ... you should test RoR too... best regards from brazil

ActiveRecord is so fucking good... you can use the .NET implementation (the castle, but to me is too ugly) or you can use the ruby one! maybe you should take a look in the original Ruby implementation and the working code in Ruby on Rails (so beatyful)... you dont gonna waist your time :) regards from brazil
