Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory!

The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

So, like it says...

Every forum needs a Mac vs. PC thread!

And since this area is just for fun I figured I might as well throw it into the mix :)

I personally own a MacBook and having also owned a Toshiba Satellite, a Dell something or rather and an HP Pavilion, I can honestly say that not only the Mac OS is better (lightyears ahead of Windows) but the user interface and hardware is even better.

Admittedly it does have some disadvantages but I'll leave those for the critics :wink:

PC I'm afraid but then I'm a gamer and up until recently and even today Macs are not as good as PC's for games.

There were some good games on Macs but generally they never made the mainstream market

Have a Gateway laptop and Dell PC, the PC is on XP and the laptop is on Vista. I honestly like both OS', but every time i transition from my laptop to the desktop i feel like i'm going back into the stoneage.
My girlfriends entire family has converted to Mac completely, so i get a lot of time on those things as well.

Basically, i feel the two are basically moving towards each other, and in about 10 years neither will exist or they'll just have the exact same product.

Oh, by the way, i prefer PCs for their upgradability. And i was born with a PC mouse in my hand.

The only reason you THINK they are the same is because Microsoft is trying to copy features Apple has had for YEARS. lol

And as far as upgradeability, in order for me to upgrade to Leopard (The newest Mac OS X) is insert a $119 (As opposed to like $300+ for Windows) disc and I'm done. No new drivers, no sorting through stuff I don't need.

That and if I really wanted to run Windows apps I can buy Parallels for $80 or download Bootcamp for free and I can run it on my Mac :D

Without any degradation of speed in either OS
