In my computer programming class we have these nice brand new iMacs. For some reason we end up using Windows 7 on them anyways...

Sounds like every edu environment I've ever seen. The graphic design students probably get to reboot into OS X. Obviously Photoshop can't be run on Windows 😂

Apple make the best Windows machines

Good they fixed them :)

@jetpks are you sure? https://slrlounge.com/lightroom-mac...

I dont have interest with Macs, the problem most pros use em I don't know is it a matter of status or performance

@SirPally
its only status

@Linux That's wat I always picture it

@SirPally it was true when they had PowerPC RISC cpu that they were the vest for graphics, video, music ... but now with the same HW of Windows it's just a urban legend. for same money you can buy faster pc to make the same work in less time

Sounds like a professor who doesn't know anything but Win32. Just wait until they try to teach you systems programming in Windows...

As for all the status/performance stuff...I think Macs look great, and I love OS X. I am still using a powerful MacBook Pro that I bought 6 years ago, and it runs incredible still.

And believe it or not, a comparable non-Apple machine is going to set you back about the same amount of cash, but only last half as long.

I don't think it has anything to do with status. Some people just like OS X. I like it even though my main machine is Linux.

We use Visual Studio Code a lot so I think that may be part of the reason. My teacher actually prefers OS x. @Treebasher

@Treebasher all my non cheap pc easily last at least 5 years

@jetpks some people just like os x for their personal preference and it's fare ... just don't like people that compare mac to cheap (as materials and hardware) pc and claim that's better and faster than windows

@dontbeevil good point,the same apply to Android vs iPhone
