I really don’t get this fascination with the operating system. How mu= ch time are you chaps spending “outside” of the programs you are= using to earn money?

I have a mixture of systems running Windows 7 & OSX, not because I pref= er either of them but because certain software either runs better or doesn&#= 8217;t run at all under a certain OS. Horses for courses.

If you really have to compare systems then do it properly:

A home-build PC should be compared to a home-build Hackintosh. Here the pri= ces are identical because the hardware is identical. Teddys’ 3930K i7 = could just as easily run OSX.

A MacPro should be compared to a PC workstation from a “brand name= 221; such as Dell/HP/Boxx etc. Here the Mac is (or was – who knows wha= t the next MP will bring!) cheaper but has fewer video options, less RAM slo= ts etc.

My point is that you can’t compare “PC” vs. a “Mac&= #8221;. Mac is a specific brand by a single company. “PC” refers= to a broad huge spectrum of companies. In fact a “Mac” is a PC = that runs OSX. Same CPU, RAM, motherboard etc. Just a bit of firmware in the= EFI boot.
 
You can PCs with better support, warranty and build quality than a Mac, but= it will cost the same or more than a Mac. There are ultra-high premium PCs = with custom paint jobs, hand built components and white glove service, for a= price.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like= fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what&= #8217;s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
