^^^ U're kidding right?
well i am using itunes through windows and it takes way too many clicks to get one song in or one file in, I think it is a lot easier with the pc.
I use it w windows too and I think its faster than WMP. You just have to drag and drop.
And no, apples are not slow now since they became PCs
Apple: They only way to fight them is to become one of them... hehe

Now I dont care which one I would own... Macs have Intel chips in them so either way I make money. My father is the VP of Marketing for Intel and I have a portion of my life invested (currently trapped) in Intel's stock. I will always be a proud supporter of Intel no matter whose computer they are in! I hear though that the Intel chips in the Macs are better than in the PC.

I like Intel laptop processors but I hate their marketing strategy (threaten PCs manufacturer not to sell AMD? WTF?) AMD is better for gaming anyway.

Yeah I hear in some sort of testing AMDs are better, my father said the speed of the new duo whatevers is a little faster than AMD... I dont think anyone but hardcore gamers really know a difference... They stick to a chip and they all say it is the best no matter what. Alot of them dont ever try the competitor's chip so their opinion is only one-sided. Macs are really cool because of their OS that is really smooth and the whole system itself just looks futuristic! Business wise they are a crapshoot. They have had more leadership turnovers than the italian government and their stock is like a rollercoaster. But the look... so futuristic!

I tried both and AMD really does rock. It's just their laptop ones use a lot of power. I played w OSX alot in my class, its fun, cool and all but the lack of compatibility just doesnt solve it. I changed my XP to an exact OSX look w StyleXP and Objectdock. That solved it.
