Whenever I see any topic on this it turns to Mac vs Pc...

[jahh]

Just like every other OS, Vista has its +'s and -'s but people seem to highlight the -'s b/c they're easy to tear apart. Well, surprise, Vista has a lot of good features. Now hopefully Windows 7 will help rebuild Microsoft's reputation.

Opinions aside, I'd say I agree with you. But, I'd use them over IE without doubt. I'd say at this point almost 50% of Windows users at my university now use Chrome.

I respect your opinion on using PCs as described but i suppose everyone has their own preferences that work styles that do it for them.

I have never met a real developer who uses dreamweaver.

I love my Macs but this is a little low... Apple needs to stop with these ads. I love Windows 7 and Snow Leopard... Both have their perks.

I don't think I have to explain the difference between live testing, and this.

Yes (I have a Mac as well) and clicking a button by glancing my eyes down will always be faster for me than searching for a function key - finding my window - moving to it - etc. Especially when using a program like Photoshop; where OSX tosses everything all around the screen instead of keeping it in a nice little box for me.

I work faster on a PC. Mac's are boutique, and good for the simple things.

Hey, Chrome is a solid browser.

No it's not. Don't get me started.

and to Jason Tate, i'm curious as to why you choose a PC if you design/create this website. Most web developers prefer to use a Mac

It's probably because most professor of web development infuse their own biased opinions about what is right for web development, haha...

I would suggest that Windows operating systems are far more advanced and easy to use... Sounds like a matter of preference rather than absolute truth.

I use it because I'm still learning coding language so it actually helps me in that learning process. Can't say for sure I'll ditch DW once I gain HTML/CSS/JavaScript 'literacy,' but I don't get why you can't use it if you're a real developer.

Because it codes things improperly.

And with that, came Chrome on all "Get Connected" discs that are handed out to Freshman at orientation.

Oh, and:
