You're a moron. The keys being spread out don't feel any differently, and they've had two button mice since around 2004. And the touchpads you'd find on a Macbook is no different from the one on a Dell or HP.
My friend has a Macbook that I've used. The keys spread out do make a difference. I don't look at the keyboard when I type, my hands are used to a normal keyboard. But it's different on a Mac. The keys are too spread out for me and when I type on one I make mistakes. The mouse clicks, I know. But on a touchpad it's one button and gets confusing... I think you gotta hold a key for right click. Then the touchpad, it's just different... the two fingers scrolling thing can also be a ninny.

I don't give a poop about these OS wars. Both of them suck, really.

I don't look at they keyboard either, but I've never had problems typing on those types of keyboards. To each his own, I guess.

How does moving your finger on a small pad get confusing? You don't need to use two fingers.

I'm a PC gamer, so I have to say windows XP.

A Mac is a PC.  PC= Personal Computer.  Also, how the hell can there be an "other"?  There is no other.

GNU/Linux, Nexentia, Solaris, *BSD, SkyOS...

An other could be a PS3 with Fedora?

Those are all still run on PCs.   Besides the Ps3 though, I don't think that counts.  And maybe if you were running off a server computer, but I don't think that's going to happen.

All I'm saying is this is an OS debate not a computer debate.  Mac's are still computers, still Personal Computers.

I don't like Mac systems, too expensive.

I like Windows best because it can run all the programs I want to use and it's completely stable. (despite what people say about constant errors, crashes, BSoD, etc.)
I like Linux second best, and of what I've tried, Ubuntu. Both typically run on the type of computer usually considered a "PC", unless you use bootcamp...

you wanna stick with XP ;)

vista is worse :-X

I would dual-boot, obviously. Oh, and I happen to think Vista isn't bad. The only unsatisfactory things I find about it are the lack of supported hardware/software, and that I constantly get warnings about "do you want to do this hey hey listen hey".

And, yes, I have used Vista before, my dad's laptop has it.
You're forgetting the whole thing about Microsoft having the ability to remove any programs they feel like, how they have the ability to deactivate your computer anytime, and a poopload of other things I'm too lazy to list so I'll just link to BadVista

But I know you loooooooooooove selling your rights to corporations.

Bad hardware and/or your brother's a moron.

Errors that says has a update to fix it but then says that the system is all ready upto date

Windows Update is retarded.

...You're blaming hardware failure on your OS?
