An all things Apple thread

[kilofox]

Good Post.

From my view point.. the day I switched to Apple was the day I just completely lost interest in gaming on a computer.

I do have a PS3 which I use mainly for BR movies, h264 videos, showing my hi-res pictures, music and an occasional game. I use my computer as a tool/appliance today. The only entertainment I use my Imac for is movie/picture editing. It does that beautifully. My computer just works, I dont worry about viruses, spyware.

I have no interest in gaming or watching movies on my 20" screen when I have a 50in 1080p screen with 7.1 sound in the next room. I realize that some people cant have both, and in that case they have a very valid point.

I dont like DRM, but if I have to use it... I will take Apple's over Microsoft's any day. I shudder to think what Vista's DRM will be like. I have yet to even notice Apple's DRM restrictions in my everyday usage.

I work with computers everyday. That being so, I dont care to spend much my free time infront of one as means of entertainment. I have tons of other interests (cycling, skiing, reading, movies) plus I spend enough time as it is infront of a computer screen.

I think Apple realizes this too and this is the market they are interested in. I could be completely wrong, but I think there of more of me than there are of you. People like me just arent has vocal as you are because Apple satisfies us.

In the long view, I see Apple's future going up, and Microsoft's going down. Microsoft cant make up what kind of a company they are, they are a Jack of All Trades, and master of none (the exception being the XBOX and Office).

Apple is way too late to enter the pc gaming market they realize this and also realize that there is a good chance you wont be a pc gamer for life... and you might switch then.

Please dont think that I assume that my experience is the norm, I dont, its just speculation on my part.

PS.. there is always Boot-Camp right?
