So er .. do you want to tell me something you can do that I can't do under windows? I can edit movies, I can make DVD menu's, I can burn DVD's, buy and burn music, I surf the net with a better firewall than you have, and it's not OS dependent, who give's a sh*te about a gimmicky gallery? (not me, that's for sure), you can voice chat? oooooh, nearly EVERY laptop comes with a mike and inbuilt speakers, I sync my contacts with my phone using a £2.50 bluetooth dongle, a calender? Outlook 2003 works perfectly, you should try it, PDF's read with any programs? Huh? I can read PDF's with Photoshop, Acrobat Reader (free), or plenty of other free PDF tools, quicktime? Don't make me laugh! I'd rather install AOL that QT.
No, read the post. I said that i can do all that stuff WITHOUT having to buy any programs to all comes built in with mac osx as you have mentioned you need a lot of programs to do that with windows. If i wanna but a really good firewall i can.

like i said all the features needed are already in mac osx, you listed loads and loads of programs to do the same stuff but how much would that cost? Suddendly the mac isnt so expensive....

bbut if i still want to buy programs, not got windows? no problem...

Norton? Check
Photoshop? Check
Acrobat Reader? Check (i dont need any programs to read PDFS though)
Word? Check
Excel? Check
Outlook? Check (again i have a good calander 'ical' for free with mac osx, no need to spend ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£Ãà¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ₠¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ if i dont want to)
Powerpoint? Check
Final cut pro? Check! that one is even made by apple
IE? Check
MSN? Check
Firefox? Check
Windows media? why, check again!

Try using mac OSX before attacking it. Try reserching mac OSX before making presumtations about it. And try to check how much alll the programs you would need to buy to match the funcationality of mac osx would cost

Bifta you are very skilled at computers but please dont attack another OS/computer without good cause
