@EmigaRaptor I didn't ask for a Mac, but… here I am, posting from one anyways. And I don't think the Mac is perfect – far from it – but my opinions and experiences largely differ from yours. So anyway, uh…

Well once you learn about editing sound generators and effects, modifying the master track, adding complex automation, etc., you can make some pretty damn awesome stuff with GarageBand. Although most of the people who use GB are total newbs, and of course those kinds of people wouldn't be able to make good music. And GarageBand does come complimentarily preinstalled, so that's always nice.

I have never used a Windows computer that has started up/logged in quickly, regardless of whether or not I myself have used it before.

Desktop Spaces are pretty cool. As are the keyboards. Other keyboards are awful in comparison. Oh, and I use Microsoft Office, so I wouldn't know about the other stuff. I bet it's miles better than the crappy Microsoft programmers' crappy programming for the crappy Macs, though.

Well my parents did buy the Mac (even though I wanted Win7 T_T), so that's that. Past the initial price hurdle, Macs are actually pretty good. Again, though, I complain about the keyboard shortcuts. Four modifier keys (control, option/alt, command, and shift), and universal save/open/quit commands aside, none of the combinations make sense. In Word, for example, opt-cmd-L to check the document's spelling and grammar, and ctrl-opt-cmd-R to open the dictionary window… OK, right… wut? (And yes, the dictionary window is an ass-pull that iirc isn't in Windows Word.) Also, the menu bar uses symbols for the modifier keys – symbols that you need to know, but that you can't type yourself. Dafuj?

Riiiiight, and Smash for 3DS is just a huge ad campaign for the Wii U. Besides, people hate skeuomorphisism. Maybe if Apple used better color palettes and design choices, everyone would be vomiting rainbows over the iOS 7 redesign.

One last thing, an extraneous one this time: option- and shift-option- can be used with the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard to make common symbols. Note the not-autocorrected-in ellipses I post so often… åń∂ †hé g®üñg¥ †ëx†. shove carr0ts
