PS: Wanted to add something in here about the new Valve Steam availability for Macs, thats just something that is even more fun looking forward to.

Whenever I say I game so I'm a PC, someone always brings up those FEW examples of gaming on Macs - but cmn. Lets see if Steam changes things.

Until then - I'm a PC because I'm a gamer FIRST.

I'm on Mac now since 2002 and I will never ever change back to Windows again!
Each and every time I get asked by friends about some "computer issue" it is a Windows PC, never a Mac.

Mac aren't perfect and have issues as well, but it is with all technology items, if you don't treat it right, or simply said, if you are too stupid to use it properly, than stay away from it.

The only reason, why I do have a BootCamp partition with Windows 7 on it (and I admit, Windows 7 is probably the first Windows version, which seems to do, what it is supposed to do), is because I play Modern Warfare 2 on it. Once I'm through with this game, I will remove the partition and Windows installation again, to free up the diskspace.

And yes, I also know a few (maybe two or three people) who returned to the dark side again, but mainly, because they thought Windows PCs are cheaper, or because they require to work with some non-Mac software. All others, who I know, converted to Mac, are very happy with it and even don't consider returning to Windows.

From time to time even I need to use Windows, when somebody really fu'ed his iPhone.... Funny enough, that you only can restore a hard bricked iPhone on a Windows PC......

Windows or Mac is some sort of religeous discussion. There is no "good" or "bad". It is a decision, what you like more.

The only thing I liked when I owned a Mac, was the iLife suite. That entire iLife package is awesome. But, OSX was not for me, and after about a year I ran humbly back home to Windows.

It is interesting to me that one month into ipad ownership, the PC vs Mac thing may be a non-issue. Other than my music work and a bit of Photoshop, I don't even use my desktop any more. All my day to day home computing is on my iPad, so I guess i'm an "iPhone" OS kinda guy...... Not really Mac or PC.....

Mac here - I was a PC guy for a very long time (since the dark, er, DOS 3.3 days), but finally made the switch in 2008.

I won't switch back as long as I can help it. Windows caused me too much grief, and as much as I do like Windows 7 (XP was the best version prior to this), it's still got the registry, DLLs, etc..

If Microsoft REALLY wants to compete with Apple, they need to do something similar to what Apple did - do a full rewrite on the OS, making a form of Linux/UNIX the base system...until they do, they'll continue to have all these PC issues.

I tried syncing to my Windows laptop using iTunes. It refuses to back up my apps since they aren't supported by windows. I'm hoping I'm just doing it wrong. Any suggestions?

Yes, it has to be something you are doing wrong. I sync just fine on Windows 7 x64, with no problems with my Apps.

That makes no sense at all. What is the error message?

When your iPad is plugged in, go to the app tab for it (not the main app tab). Make sure sync apps is checked....or that selected apps is checked and you have the apps checked you want to sync....

Pc all the way.
