So now, PCs just come with too much software?

Seriously, these commercials are getting ridiculous. Macs just come with the stuff you need? That's a really nice way of saying that they're stripped down compared to PCs. And the older commercials which show the PC going in for upgrades? That's just stupid. Macs are so much better because you just have to throw them away when they become outdated? Can someone please explain to me how being completely unserviceable by anyone but Apple, absolutely worthless when outdated and coming with less software than PCs could be advantageous? And people still stand by Macs for things like graphic design and music editing purposes...even though you get ONE option for each program, Apple. Now they can run Windows, that's great. Turn them into overpriced PCs which still can't be serviced anywhere. Anyways, is anybody out there actually buying the crap they're selling on these commercials?

    The commercials that Apple makes are the most stupidest commercials i have seen, Yes pcs get viruses but pcs can do what macs do but better, what apple wants to exploit is the pcs getting so much viruses, macs can get viruses to but the majority of the hacker population is on windows.. because more people in the world use windows and the hackers have more access to personal information and credit cards and etc..

    Well...

    Here we go...

    A vs B (or in this case A vs P)...

    Macintosh

    Good for Media Arts, but not really anything else. Stable platform (Operating System). But it does not have a right click feature, rendering it useless to us multi-fingered people. It is hard to find parts for macintoshes once they go out of production.

    PC

    Great for gaming (results vary), great versititly. Unstable OS (operating System). Vaunerable to Viruses and Spyware...
