Which platform do you use?

Experiences on both?

I have used a Mac platform to edit video and multi-media for almost 10 years.

Thank God Almighty that Premiere Pro was finally released.

CYA Mr. Jobs ... your platform freaking sux.

The OS is buggy and unstable and heaven help you if you have a motherboard issue ...

I cant believe how many mac guys are on this board!

anyways, i use xp at home, 2000 at work. I have pretty much no problems with xp, now older ms os's were big problems for me though.

anyways, i would just like to reinforce how much the mac mice SUCK, and other than that, I havent used them much, nor am willing to learn. I guess i'm rooted in the pc. Having said that, as a gamer (or at least WAS, since i never have time anymore), the mac is pretty much useless in that area.

I've breifly tried linux for a small fileserver at home, and I havent had the time to really set that up. For me, I cant spend time learning something new i guess.

also the security issues suck for windows if you don't lock down your pc and keep from installing bad crap and going to bad sites.

and I'm along with sgarnett, I can accomplish alot mroe with my 5 button intellimouse explorer (yes i know you can upgrade the mac mice, but why would they cripple that machine from the factory with that garbage)

since i build my own pc's, i kind of like the upgradeability of the pc platform, although i do end up doing reinstalls after motherboard changes usually. Also, nowadays there are lots of products to make your pc quiet, which i've spent some money on in the last year.


it'll be windows for a while for me,
