Give Mac a Chance

**The Passionate Advocate: A Personal Perspective on Apple and Microsoft**

As I begin this article, I must admit that my passion for Apple has gotten me heated on more than one occasion. When people try to criticize or belittle Apple without giving it a fair chance, I feel compelled to defend the company's products. I believe that Apple is not perfect, but its arguments against criticism are always valid. In this article, I will share some of my personal experiences with Apple and Microsoft products, as well as offer some insights on why I think Mac OS 10 is superior to Windows.

**Dealing with Criticism**

One common argument made by critics is that Switching from Windows to Mac is difficult. However, I disagree with this notion. If you're used to using Windows, the command tab feature in Mac OS 10 makes switching between applications easy and seamless. In fact, using the command tab feature can save a significant amount of time compared to opening multiple windows or using the expose function. As for critics who argue that Microsoft's products are superior to Apple's, I have one response: "That's not Apple's fault." It's Microsoft's responsibility as the creator of Windows to make sure their product works well on other platforms.

**MSN Messenger and iMing Services**

Another point of contention between Apple fans and critics is the MSN Messenger application for Mac. I firmly believe that this application is a disappointment, and I recommend using alternative iMing services like ADM instead. This application may not be as user-friendly or feature-rich as other options, but it gets the job done. With ADM, you can use popular iMing services like AIM, Yahoo!, Google, and many others. This flexibility makes it easier for users to find an application that suits their needs.

**Click and Drag Features**

One feature of Mac OS 10 that I love is click and drag functionality. Critics often argue that this feature is difficult to use, but I disagree. In fact, I've found click and drag to be incredibly intuitive and time-saving. For example, when you drag a picture over the mail icon in your dock, it automatically opens a new message with the picture inserted. This feature may seem simple, but it's one that makes a big difference in my daily workflow.

**Spring-Loaded Folders**

Another feature of Mac OS 10 that I appreciate is the spring-loaded folder functionality. When you drag a document or other file over another folder and leave it there for a brief moment, the folder opens, allowing you to drop the file inside easily. This feature saves time and reduces clutter by eliminating the need to open folders first before dragging files into them.

**A Challenge to Windows Enthusiasts**

Finally, I'd like to address critics who claim that Mac OS 10 is inferior to Windows Vista. While Vista has its own set of flaws, I believe that Mac OS 10 is still a superior operating system. In fact, Microsoft's decision to create Windows 7 suggests that they're acknowledging the limitations of their previous product. As for me, I'll continue to advocate for Apple products and defend them against criticism.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, my passion for Apple has led me to share some personal perspectives on its products and features. While I understand that not everyone will agree with my opinions, I hope that this article has provided valuable insights into the benefits of using Mac OS 10. Whether you're a seasoned Windows user or just looking for alternative options, I encourage you to explore Apple's products and see for yourself why they've become so popular among computer enthusiasts.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso I got an interesting email yesterday by a user that shall remain nameless because of the main reason that I don't want to put his name out there because I don't want people jumping on him like what were you thinking cuz quite frankly this email is pretty idiotic I'm not saying the user is idiotic I'm just saying yeah you got to think outside of the box dude all here we go I'm going to read the email no it didn't print out like that that um this is my second time backing this video and I just didn't like how it turned out so and I ripped it in my first video on purpose cuz I was mad anyway but obviously I did it for comedy so here's the email so and so says hey David got my MacBook Pro on Friday the 11th awesome made the decision to return the Apple for a refund 2 days later I changed from a Vista laptop and leopard is way too confusing I've now decided to buy a Dell XPS 2.8 GHz 4 gbt of Ram with loads of nice features for way less than what my MacBook my 15-inch MacBook Pro cost me this laptop must be the most overrated and overpriced computer on the market jeez anyway then he goes on to complain a little bit here we go how hard would it be for app to put in a right click why is there no task bar what the so I can click that window I want rather than moving Windows around on Leopard MSN Messengers rubbish on Mac click and drag is made so difficult on Mac and then he ends it like this he ends it by stabbing me in the heart actually anything Mac can do Vista can do better are you kidding me all right little disclaimer for my viewers right now I'm sorry if I seem a little poed right now but um I have the right because I don't like when people email me stupid things like this this is a not thought out email this is poorly written or poor poorly thought out rather so here we go so he says that he got a Dell XPS notebook with word gigs of RAM for less money dude good for you seriously good for you that's that sounds like a nice system four four gigs of RAM is plenty um it sounds nice regardless of the OS the OS you're using but yeah to each his own personally I think Mac OS 10 is worth the extra price so you just get a better operating system but according to you it's confusing so why do you say it's confusing is it because it's different maybe maybe need to think outside the box a little bit more um I don't mean it's un rude but when you're changing os's obviously OS 10's not going to be exactly like Windows what would the okay what would the point in that be yeah I know Vista copied o 10 but that's a whole other story so why would you expect os10 to be just like Vista with its taskar and its gadgets and stuff like that anyway obviously things are going to be different that's all I'm saying be open to change people don't be so narrow-minded anyway here we go how hard would it be for Apple to put in a red click this I kind of give you because um Apple's notebooks still do not have a righted click built in to the physical button I believe you can do it by um two fingers but my my power book does not support that cuz I have the older model so but I'm pretty sure you can do that with your fingers instead of the um physical button so that's not really a big deal but if you want to right click um on a keyboard or whatever I mean with a keyboard and regular Mouse hold down control then CL um then click and then that's your um right click or you can use a right Mouse button on a mouse and yes this is two buttons you just can't see the other one it's touch sensitive that's why it's the miny Mouse so there you go you're kind of half right on that but this one is the most idiotic out of all why is there no task bar so I can click what window I want rather than moving Windows around on that bird you kidding me taskbar do you realize taskbar is exclusive to Windows you okay you like do realize that right please tell me you do taskar why would I want a bunch of Windows on one bar taking up space of of my screen real estate when I could easily have have them all in the dock no that's the thing Mac OS 10 and windows they do things differently I do not miss the taskbar in Windows the doc handles it much more uh much much more proficiently seriously though well obviously I'm serious the dock is great maybe you maybe need to get used to it and this thing you're talking about moving around windows um have you heard of expose activate it please activate insistant preferences well well you can't cuz you're probably viewing this on your new vista computer congratulations I'm sorry anyway expose guys use expose on the Mac it's the greatest feature of any OS ever used probably I use it every single day of my life I'm serious when I say that expose is my number one favorite feature of os 10 I use it so much you can you can look at all all your windows at once and yes you can do this okay sorry I I just slow down you can do this in Vista but no it's called Arrow Microsoft copied Apple by putting in Arrow and it's sucks compared to expose it's it's not nearly as good you can tell when I get really really hatte it but this is my passion so I'm not I'm not going to let people tell crap on Apple unless they deserve it cuz app's not perfect but these arguments are invalid so here we go so and if you want to switch Windows just do command tab it's just like your Windows operating system but in OS 10 command tab switches windows or just use expose like I said use expose people it saves so much time um I'm sure all of you Mac is just out would agree with me X is brilliant so MSN Messenger is rubbish on Mac is your next argument um so let me start out by saying is this really Apple's fault not at all this is Microsoft's fault you know the the company's um OS you are using right now so why would you blame Microsoft for making a bad application for the Mac platform explain that one that's not Apple's fault that's not Apple's fault at all so I recommend for all you current MAC users use an okay use an iming application called ADM not addm I don't say addm because there's only one d a DI IU M search it a dii u m you can use practically any popular iming um client out there I just use mine for aim but you can use aim Yahoo MSN um I believe icq I believe you can use Google and tons of other I aming services that I haven't even heard of so yeah use ADM do not use the regular MSN Messenger for Mac i' I've used it it's not impressive jeez you people can really get me heated Okay click and drag is made so difficult in a Mac click and drag what are you talking about here um as far as I know click and drag is very very well done on the Mac OS 10 platform for instance if I drag a picture over the mail icon in my dock it'll automatically open my mail like a new window with a new message outgoing and automatically insert the picture in for me so then the only thing I have to do is type in the contact and then you know the actual message and subject so um that's just one example another example I'm trying to think um if you take a document or something and drag it over another folder and leave it there for like two seconds or so it'll open up that that's called a spring-loaded folder at least I believe it's called a springloaded folder but yeah I actually use this pretty often well not often but um pretty frequently and it it saves time rather than opening a folder first then dragging the picture you can drag the picture hover open it drop in you're good people and that's just one there's so many other um click and drag features that I don't even feel like explaining right now cuz quite frankly I have to think of them but um trust me I use click and drag every day on Mac OS 10 and it's great it's a lot better on Mac than it is Windows that's for sure I find myself clicking well clicking and dragging more often in Mac so here we go actually that's it oh wait never mind this isn't it uh your last one to stabb in my heart was anything Mac can do Vista can do better you are a you know what I'm sorry I I should not okay I should not call you a you're entitled to your opinion but to say something so bold like that Vista can do better um if you haven't noticed by now Vista is a failure Vista is a flop in the public eyes some people will argue with me like that uh with that argument that makes sense but guys Vista is a flop compared to Mac OS 10 which is why Microsoft already started working on Windows 7 do you think they'll get it right this time I don't know and I'm sorry if I seem biased here but um allow me to say that from my point of view I believe I'm correct in in everything I said in this video you guys say okay I talk way too fast some sometimes you guys may have different opinions than I and that's perfectly okay I totally respect your opinions so please if you can post a video or text response audio response whatever you want to do and please straighten this guy out the um fact that you only gave the Mac two two days like two days that's it two days that is not a fair chance the fact that you only get them Mac two days it's horrible God you people I'm sorry I shouldn't say you people I just don't like ignorance in this world I just don't like when people are so narrow-minded you got to think outside the box use something different and don't forget just because it's different that does not mean it's confusing and I apologize if I came across this rout in this video this is my passion I'm obviously going to stick up for Apple thanks for watchingso I got an interesting email
