You can run windows on a mac. But the problem thet you might have is the graphics card. You have to buy a very expensive mac to get a computer as powerful as even a budget gaming pc.

If you look in the specs of the mac you want you should be able to research if it is good or not.

Mac or PC is better for professional users Why?

I've never used a Mac, but I've heard that people who use them like them. I think Mac has about a 10% share of the computer market. Mac makes it's own software and hardware. I guess there can be compatability issues when sharing files from Mac to PC. With PC, there are thousands of software makers who make programs that are compatable with Microsoft Windows operating system so there is much more available/ compatable.

A REAL claim to greater reliability may only be made if you consider how many third party software aps and hardware drivers there are. MAC is a monopoly. You can only write a mac ap or make mac accessories if you PAY A LICENSING FEE, which most "off brands" aren't going to do. Subsequently, third party mac accessories DO tend to be a little better.

Part of what you're paying for is moving to the top shelf with the rest of the "good" brand names. Apple IS a top tier name. Apple tech support is a LITTLE better than MOST PC tech support, but it is still really bad.

"CC of oz" is completely wrong. macs can and do get viruses. It's just that fewer people write viruses for macs because the "target" is a smaller audience. Microsoft spends much more time and money being proactive and hiring "white hats". There are several mac exploits that have been known about for months now that have not been patched or updated. As of this writing, there is currently one HUGE hole that has been known for months, but little time and money is being spent to fix it

Macs did tend to be a little faster in the old days because they were using reduced instruction set (RISC motorola) hardware. Now days they are use intel chips and are about the same as PC. In the old days animation used to be rendered on macs, now animation and movies are now made on HP's and Dells. Most scientific work is done on mainframes, but there are alot of very powerful XPS, poweredge and precision workstations at our "national labs" and military bases because mainframe time scheduling is

Will the new mac keyboards work on a pc?

I am planning on buying the new mac keyboards, they one they have right now. I tested it out today in a shop where they sell apple products and I just loved it. I asked the guy who worked there he said there might be a chance, but I really want to know !. I am planning on buying the USB wired version, I don't care what I have I just want it!
Yes, it should work fine. Macs can run Windows and Linux these days as well as Mac OS X and the keyboards work fine with each OS.
I have also heard that Micosoft Office on a Mac is not nearly as good as Microsoft Office on a PC! Is that true?

MS Office for mac is not good because office for windows is horrible. Apple made their own software that is far better than MS Office and is completely compatible. It is their iWork suite and it comes preinstalled on new macs (you get a trial period and have to pay for unlimited usage). It is really easy to transfer files, just use a usb flash drive to transfer things. Most flash drives come standard in fat32 so they can be read on osx as well as windows.
Microsoft Office isn't that good, period.

But you can put the files on a thumb drive on either computer and bring it to the other one. (Whether the files can be used on the other computer is a totally different matter. Office files can, if you save them as the earliest version - IOW, as .doc files, not .docx files, if either computer can't handle .docx files.)

What is the megapixel of the latest Mac iSight camera?

I am very curious about the megapixel of all of the latest iSight camera implemented in all the latest Mac, such as Macbook, Macbook pro and the LED Display, anyone know about this? I can't find the specification on the Apple website.

When the new MacBook Pros came out, there was some talk about the inclusion of an improved 1.3 megapixel iSight camera. However, video captured with QuickTime was still in the old 640x480 VGA resolution. But over at Mac Daddy World, they don't take "no" for an answer, so they tested with a special application, which did result in a 1280x1024 image.

when your hard drive becomes below 40% this will slow down your system. not enough memory will make your system slow because when you open files and you do not have enough memory to run it the computer will use your hard drive as ram, this will make your system run slow.bad fragmented system will make your system run slow, because the fragmented system is looking for certain file that are broken up into many pieces. get a bigger hard drive or use a usb external drive for all your music, movies and other stuff you use. use the main drive for the operating system and basic computing needs. upgrade to the max of ram your computer uses even though it doesn't require it now, better than to do it now instead of waiting when it request you to do so. always make sure you defrag your system once a month. you can google search this question and it will give you many reasons why your computer runs slow and the answer to fix the problems. hope this helps.

Why are MAC computers so much more money then regular ones?

Macs are pretty reliable, but mechanically, they are NOT any more reliable than other top tier names like a good dell studio and XPS series, falcoln northwest, alienware or hp. However compared to off-branded PC's like acer, gateway or other no name brands, yes they are more reliable.

Part of what you're paying for is moving to the top shelf with the rest of the "good" brand names. Apple IS a top tier name. Apple tech support is a LITTLE better than MOST PC tech support, but it is still really bad.

The reason why macs are expensive is because youre paying for :
1. the name
2. the pretty logo
3. some of the best ergonomics and industrial design in the business
4. apple is a monopoly so there is NO competitive discounting.

You will also pay more to upgrade
pay more to repair
pay more for accessories
pay more for software although you can run just about anything with bootcamp.

Which is Better For Your Business? A Mac or a PC?

To begin, I must say that until 2006, I was an avid PC user. From my first computer when I was five, an IBM PS2 Model 30 (without hard drive), I have been faithful. I started with DOS and Windows 3, 3.1, 95 and XP. Then came Vista. Before Vista, I spent a lot of time to restart, but it was more or less bearable. After Vista, which is by far the worst operating system ever made, I had to find another solution.

During the summer of 2006, I maintained about 80% of my business to Mac, we are a design agency, so most people wanted anyway Mac. I continued to listen to their strengths - how the OS has never crashed, how it has worked just the way you do not need to reboot every day - and dismissed their blind desire of googly eyes to Apple fans.

But something has changed. People began to do things quickly. Work began flowing faster (I estimate about a third). After seeing how I could continue to use Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel on a Mac using Parallels, I decided to do it myself.

I updated the PC business is still high-end Mac - to the tune of about $ 4,000 each. Gave each of 8 GB of RAM (probably excessive), video cards top, and two Samsung 24-inch screens.

Words can not describe how productivity has increased, including mine. The same machine, two years later, is on my desktop, and works perfectly all day. On the left, I have my Mac desktop, where I am on the web, listening to music, search for files using Spotlight (much better than Windows Search), prepare presentations (in Keynote - far superior to Powerpoint) and search for files on our file server public (even a PC).

Apple Beats Estimates, But Mac Sales Decline

The economy has not had the air of the growth of Apple yet. The company just reported earnings of $ 1.21 billion or $ 1.33 per share on revenue of $ 8.16 billion. The EPS results beat the average estimate by Wall Street analysts surveyed by 24 cents, and beat revenue estimates of $ 200 million.

But Apple is not even escape the slowdown entirely unscathed. While sales of iPod has managed to gain a growth rate of 3% in the quarter a year ago, for a total of 11 million units, and the iPhone sales have increased by 123% compared to the year to 3.79 million units, sales of Apple Macintosh personal computers fell by 3% compared to last year period.

During a conference call with analysts, CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the decline in Mac sales is the result of exceptionally high Mac sales during the March quarter 2008 following the release of the MacBook Air, for this he called "hard to compare."

For the future of the company said it expects to report revenues of between $ 7.7 billion and $ 7.9 billion in its third quarter ending in June, and to report earnings per Action 95 cents and $ 1.00.

Briefly: Hazmat scare at Apple; Mac OS X 10.5.7; iPhone 3.0 beta 5

Apple dangerous fear

Santa Clara County firefighters arrived at Apple's Building 4 on De Anza Boulevard at about 3:30 pm Wednesday wearing a hazardous materials train after they were called to the scene after the discovery of a suspicious package, "reports San Jose Mercury News.

An employee had found the envelope, which contained an unknown white powder in the cafeteria of Apple. Preliminary test showed no evidence that the substance was dangerous, but it was taken to a Santa Clara County in the laboratory for further evaluation.

Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update

Apple on Monday began distributing Mac OS X 10.5.7 build 9J60 on its internal network and then the pre-release software available for wider testing on Tuesday.

This sixtieth build updating the Leopard operating system fixes another problem with a programming method that allows developers to import the contents of a URL to their applications. Again, the only problem with the software is incompatible with the public beta of Safari 4.0.

Apparently, the market prematurely this graphics card for some Mac Pro before the support of appropriate software is ready, causing problems with iPhoto, VMWare Fusion, and make the system to sleep. Apple support representatives have apologized to customers affected and informed them that Mac OS X 10.5.7 will address the issue.

U.S. mortgage rates rise from record low: Freddie Mac

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. mortgage rates rose in recent weeks from a pair of record during the previous week and the fight against the government's efforts to reduce rates to levels that will stimulate demand and assist the most affected, the housing market begins to recover.

U.S. interest rates 30 years, loans to fixed rate mortgage rose to 4.84 percent for the week ending May 7 from the previous week of 4.78 percent, matching the meantime, according to a poll released Thursday by the home financing Freddie Mac (FRE.N) (FRE.P).

Mortgage rates fell by 4.78 per cent initially for the week of April 2, the lowest since Freddie Mac began investigations in 1971.

"Mortgage rates rose slightly this week as positive economic news of the economy in May near the bottom of the recession," Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac Vice President and Chief Economist, said in a statement.

Thirty-year mortgage rates have mostly been a downward trend since the Federal Reserve unveiled a plan to buy debt backed by mortgages in late November.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has set a goal to purchase up to $ 1.25 billion of agency securities backed by mortgages, $ 300 billion cash and $ 200 billion of the debt of the organization in 2009. The purchases are part of efforts to reduce borrowing costs.

Cameron Findlay, chief economist at LendingTree.com based in Charlotte, North Carolina, said the strategy has been an impact.

"The Fed's strategy and tactics to market conduct in one way or another, are well known in advance, they should examine the market perception of their actions in advance, not only their actions result, he said.

"Their actions to date have proven they can move the market in a desirable direction," he said.
