PC and MAC Debate – Are The Commercials Helping?

Share

Everyone has visible Apple Mac commercials now. You understand the “Hi, I’m a PC/I’m a Mac” commercials with the stodgy, much less than the funny man in a fit representing PCs, and the hip, state-of-the-art Gen-X man representing the Macintosh. They cover topics like viruses, video games, packages, and computer-associated issues, usually with humor and wit. Apple tries to bypass these advertisements as the “Truth” commercials. The humorous component of this is how full Apple is and how, with just a little thinking, you comprehend that each of Mac’s factors *for* the Mac works *against* it.

The largest component you spot referred to in the advertisements nowadays is the programs. PC can do cool things like spreadsheets and word processing, while Mac does home movies, songs, and different *clearly* cool stuff. This is in some way meant to show that one may be just as effective, if now not more so, with a Mac. The aspect is that while fooling around making films and ripping CDs to iTunes, it was “productive.” It isn’t always, and I wager maximum bosses might agree.

Next up is video games. Funny, you no longer see this introduced too regularly, if at all. Why? Because no person publishes video games for the Mac, this could alternate because of a factor I might be making later. The closing publishers I remember making video games for the Mac were Blizzard and iD, who made video games like Warcraft and Quake, respectively. Now, you might be capable of finding some crappy solitaire video games, and there’s always that “cool” standby, the Apple puzzle. Good times to be had there for positive. Nowadays, all video games are made for PCs with a Windows or Linux layout. Enough stated.

Viruses and spyware are some other favored Apples to trot out. But that is an easy one. Take a study of the data and marketplace percentage to be unique. Sure, Mac is gaining a reputation (that factor I cited inside the bit about video games, yeah, it’ll be pertinent here, too). Still, it’s miles nonetheless vastly in the minority in marketplace proportion. Hackers cross after the easy target, which happens to be PCs strolling Windows because they are up to outnumber Macs now. So, duh, of the path, Mac does not get adware or viruses. It no longer means they can’t, which is what Apple tries to deduce.

Here is the very last nail inside the coffin. If you have paid attention to news within the tech zone, Apple switched to Intel processors (which is a factor I have been speaking about). Yep. Macs use Intel Core 2 Duo 64-bit x86 CPUs. With a simple boot application, you may run Windows XP on the identical system you run MacOS X on. Mac OS X is just a variation of an OS called BSD, a variation of Unix. Yeah. Apple has a lot of visible light and comes to the PC camp. They are promoting quiet machines with a quiet interface loaded with programs for slackers to waste time on. How is that for “truth”?
