What should I get Mac or XP?

Mac is better than Windows at music and graphic work, but does not have nearly as many games as Windows. That being said, I think Linux is better than either Mac or Windows.
 
Windows xp is probably the most productive operating system in the world. So far it's better than Vista. Vista still has problems. XP can do a lot of things for you as long as you have a good video card and a good amount of RAM.
 
id say mac.they dont make xp anymore now its vista.with mac u can create ur own video games and such..really cool!!
 
The answer is.... depends. If it's a windows application it will probably run better in windows. If it's a mac application specifically it will probably run better on a mac. If it's third party, it really depends on the machine itself. Now-a-days the performance is about the same since macs run on intels. Personally I would go with whichever interface you like better and whichever one supports the applications you want. I personally prefer PCs because they're cheaper and I can do everything and more that I can do with a Mac. Also, generally games come out for PCs first and then Macs later if at all.

People that say Macs can't get viruses or hacked are total morons. I challenge any of them to post their IP address and we'll see how secure they feel.
 
For games, graphics, etc. I'd prefer the Mac. For work and business, XP. I have XP and there's no special software included for graphics or anything like the Mac has.
 
iMAC
...well, i just got the imac and i absolutely love it because i have two kids and iphoto is great for organizing and ordering prints. it's a lot sleeker looking too.
 
get a mac

1. no viruses = no norton to pay every year

2. more streamlined and easier to use

3. more bang for buck

4. i have one lol :)
 
IMHO, I've used both, and would cast a vote for Vista!
XP is at the end of its run, whereas Vista -- with all it's whiners and hangups--is in its infancy. XP is a known quantity, and most bugs are gone. Vista is well on its way to becoming the industry standard, in spite of the naysayers. It's so much easier to complain than to compliment! Good luck!!
 
Mac=

No viruses, because nobody wants to bother writing them for only 8% of the world market

more BUCKS for the bang

Easier to use, unless it freezes, then you have to go through 94 keystrokes, and it still freezes.

No software, other than what Steve Jobs wants you to have at inflated Apple prices.

Upgadable..................NOT

xp isnt as good
 
You should definitively get XP. XP is compatible with almost everything, specially video games. (Even crysis and bioshock stll have XP support). It also has support for adding new things such as keyboards, video cards, etc, whereas with Mac you gotta buy all your additions from Mac for usually relatively high prices. XP usually never crashes and is relatively safe if you dont go around downloading "hacks" or anything.
