ORIGINAL: junk2drive Nothing wrong with Apple. Where did I say that? My first PC was an Apple. I use my daughter's iMac when I visit. It is nice. My last line is that Apple started out giving PCs to schools to get kids use to Apple and want to use them later in life. Apple had the graphics too. Too bad that they shunned games as making computers look like toys instead of tools. Don't think they intensionally shunned games. Like 20 years ago Apple established themselves as DTP platform and when Windows gaming arised, in the second half of the 90's, they missed to jump on the bandwagon. Actually, they were halfway underfoot at that time. Home computers aside, I started with a PC 286 and Windows 2(!) in 1989. Sometime inbetween I had to purchase a Mac III FX and hated this machine from the get-go. Super-expensive, limited operation purpose and simply not sexy. Back then Windows was King. Time has changed. Microsoft lost track and has become the fifth wheel - like IBM with OS2 in the early 90's. Their web technologies are abysmal, with iOS and Android nobody needs another mobile device system and on top of it they're running Windows in the ground now. Anyway, if you can get a cheap Win7 license, grab it. It's the best Windows MS made. Just the successor I would avoid like the plague.
