From a developer’s point of view – James1 from x180.net reflects on why Macs are better than PCs.
bq.. So what about the argument of the Mac being a small market? My response: Define market. First off, I can develop in a host of languages deployable on any platform. Second, in my tribe, Macs are rampant. For example, at this year’s Emerging Tech Conference the machines in tow were about 50/50 Mac vs. Intel. Note that I said Intel and not Windows. The Intel machines seemed evenly divided between Windows and Linux.
For the people I care about, the market share is biased towards the Mac. I guess if I really wanted to sell software to people who buy their machines at Wal-Mart, then I’d be all behind Windows or whatever. But as it is, in the circles I run in, Windows is so 1999.
p. Always good to arm myself with more reasons to share with friends when they ask that question – Why Macs are better than PCs?
