@Quintin - any idiot can fire up visual studio and write a message.box("Put_My_Childish_WasteOfTime_Here_Message").
So lets keep this constructive and move forward.
What I love about these threads are how strong people feel about things & how everyone loves to hate one another. It seems to be like religion if you follow something different it's wrong
why would MAC & or Linux people be so negative about another product and try convert people? you don't get any extra points to get to heaven lol
I hope you know that it's because of competition that one gets better products
You don't even need to waste your money on Visual Studio mate.
Excel and all the other office suite programs have the ability for scripting.
And this makes it so much easier than message.box("Put_My_Childish_WasteOfTime_Here_Message")
But it sure was worth the time to yank your chain and get you wound up.

Fully agree here with you! I guess it is all about personal choice, having worked with pc from the 90's up until I purchased my first mac on 2007, i will never buy a pc for personal use.
I agree with you.
Once you have gone MAC you wont go back.
Updates on MAC to go from Lion to Mountain Lion costs you $19.99 via the App store.
Try and do the same for Windows, more likely to cost you a couple of hundred dollars.
I still use Windows every day for work and run it on my Mac via parallels or in that case I run a number of different OS's all at the same time with no performance issues.
And to be honest I have not had problems with any operating system that crashed over the past couple of years.:yeahdude:
We all like to think that there is a massive rivalry going on between Mac and Microsoft but that isn't actually the case.
People tend to pigeon hole themselves and support what they believe is best.
After all, we all have choice and no-one likes to think that they are in the wrong or made a bad choice.
However it is nice to yank the chain of avid Windows users like @mytank just to get a rise out of them.
yes there are better features on the later versions but it all comes down to "want" and "need"
A entry macbook 8gig is R16999
R12499 will get you the latest Core i5 13" MacBook Pro
R12499 will get you the latest Core i5 13" MacBook Pro
yup the "cultness" of products will always exist people feel the need to justify why they spent the money.
You are not a really technical person are you? the I5 is really old technology.. and its dual core... the latest intel proccesors are i7 8 core.
That is anything is less than an entry level laptop. You pay for marketing not technology.
the latest intel proccesors are i7 8 core.
@CocaColaza, clearly you're no more a technical person than I am...you actually get the i7 in both dual core and quad core....
