    It's been a long time since we've had one.

    Apple VS Microsoft.

    well really i depends on what you want to do and how smart you are....for example stupid people click on every link that promises to make them buff even if its flashing with bad graphics....Also you can play many many more games on windows while in apple you can live a relatively virus free life but you cant use many things that windows can andvice versa....i prefer windows coz i can play games and ive never gotten a virus even once

    i really despise iphones prolly due to everyone claiming or owning a iphone lol i hate it ;D

    i got a HTC phone i love it :P the android firmware is fab ! ye you can jailbreak iphone for games. mate showed me a game on his iphone 4 that was well nice along with the camera. besides that i dont like iphones. same goes for the IPAD wtf what would you wana do with a oversized pad! cant reallly shove it in your pocket lol rather get a laptop!

    but regarding microsoft and apple.

    i got both . both do different things to one another ..

    microsoft - more compatible software and hardware. even though high end apple machines like my mac pro is easily upgradeable.

    apple - cant really get viruses at all since they dont recognise EXE!! lol

    both got pros and cons ! i aint fussed about mac os or windows :P win7 vs snow leopard all good :P

    Haha that comes from a professional point of view I see bhai. But regarding the iPhone, despite the face that most people own an iPhone, it still is the most entertaining phone I've ever used. Maybe that's because of all the touchy feel and sense of games etc... But when it comes to professionalism, I never touch an iPhone. I always used my BlackBerry for that, emailing and all is so much easier and safe on the BlackBerry. Seriously, even governments now are feeling unsecured of its so pretty sexy encryption hotness =D

    I like the iPhone because it's basically an iPod with texting and calling capabilities. Which is exactly what I want.

    Getting back on topic.... This is Apple vs. Microsoft, not Google.

    Here's the break down...

    Apple makes designer electronics. NOT electronics for designers. Don't get confused. In the same way you buy Abercrombie and Fitch opposed to Walmart brand, people buy Macs, iPhones, iPads, and other Apple products because of the name. In the end, the products perform as well as the cheaper variations of themselves, however they have their limits.

    A brand is like a prison. The stronger it is, the harder it is to break out.

    Also, one BIG point... Microsoft does NOT make electronics. If Windows crashes, or you get a virus, that's your fault, and maybe your machine's fault. A computer is only as smart as its user.

    Boiling down to the brewing war to come...

    iPhone 4 vs. Windows Phone 7....



    iPhone 4 -

    Ups...
    I'll skip the ups... we know it's shiny.


    Downs...
    - Fragile
    - Limited functionality within the OS
    - Over Regulated App Store
    - Over priced hardware
    - No external memory
    - Antenna Design Flaw
    - Usability is moderate to difficult
    - You're the dick of the party when you pull out your iPhone

    Windows Phone 7

    Ups
    - Runs on multiple devices
    - Prices will vary
    - VERY nice UI
    - Easy to navigate
    - Xbox live is a groundbreaking feature on mobile devices
    - There's FINALLY a device internet Explorer can run on
    - AMOLED display will be a requirement on all devices per Microsoft
    - Phone feature works GREAT
    - Best keyboard out of all touch phones
    - Will support mobile projector in the future
    - You don't have to deal with iTunes

    Downs...
    - No devices (on launch) will be as thin as the iPhone
    - Only touch smart phone on the market without webkit
    - Very small app marketplace


    All in all... Working in a corporate environment on a Mac is a NIGHTMARE. No IT Support, software NEVER works, and files keep getting lost or corrupted. My Mac Book Pro was fine when I was freelancing at home and had time to fix things and didn't rely on communicating with 1000 people. But as a production tool, Windows Takes the cake.

    If you're a normal person, iPhone.

    If you're an indie faggot, Android based phones.
