an apple interface is more user friendly, you have less bugs, crashes, updates etc. with an apple, it looks better , and runs smoother and faster then most PCs.

so i am right....... like just upgrading all the software. A PC gets some sort of update at least once a month. on some thing that is on its harddrive. that alone is stating the quality of product. when I have had my Apple for a year and had one update for iTunes and one for the OS.

My father is an electronics engineer who uses multi million dollar software and he gets updates at his work every week Is that bad product?

iTunes? Who gives a shit about iTunes

My system is a full on audio studio, video/photo studio, and a gaming machine. And its faster and more stable then any mac I have ever worked on

yes IMO any product that has to be updated/upgraded/changed often isn't thought out and build properly, now that isn't including wear and tear.

Funny all I have to do is copy and paste MP3s into my Creative player withouht any software what so ever

I plug in the USB, it opens up the player, and all I do is drag the files into it.


I have iTunes on my PowerBook and it seems much more complicated

I guess it sucks when you are constantly updating security features to keep your proudct immune to very latest threats.

iTunes is a media player/store. with an Ipod you can do the same just plug it in an drag and drop files to play music, videos, etc. Now i personally have not bought anything off of iTunes' store. but drag and drop comparsion is equal.

So by this logic you'd rather use an outdated piece of software rather than apply updates that improve performance or add functionality?
