I use Paint in conjunction with GIMP because even though people insult Paint it still is useful. It's quick and simple and is good for the "rough sketch" when making an image. Your right, Windows doesn't have something like Stickies, Expose, or Spaces. But in that sentence only Stickies sounded actually useful. Expose and Spaces are more of a shortcut to keep from doing it yourself.
Expose and Spaces are unbelievably useful for organizing my desktop and finding a window, I probably press the Expose key on my keyboard more than any other. You have probably never even seen what it does, much less gotten completely used to it, so don't tell me it's not useful. "a shortcut to keep from doing it yourself," what does that even mean, by that logic paint is a shortcut to keep from opening up gimp and doing it yourself.
No matter how hard you try, without Gimp or Photoshop a Mac is useless for making images. But don't get into downloadable stuff because there is equivalent programs for anything Steve Jobs could pull out of his ass. Hell, I found Stardock which adds the Dock to Windows. I can find Stickies for Windows.
That's your argument against Macs? You can't make images with them unless you download a free application, one with infinitely more functionality than paint? Wow I bet Apple's going to go out of business soon...
Microsoft Messenger is equivalent to iChat and Windows Movie Maker is equivalent to Garageband.
You obviously don't even know what Garageband is, since you think it's for making movies. It is for making songs, something you would have to shell out possibly several hundred bucks on FL Studio to duplicate on windows. For edited videos, Mac has iMovie. Yeah, chat applications are a dime a dozen now, iChat stands out a bit though in letting you see and control your friend's desktop. Just a feature, but cool nonetheless.
No one said that you were, but now that you've actually bothered to state that though plus how you "quoted" my post I'm to go out here on a rather sturdy limb and say that you are.
A personal attack? How thoughtful. I brought that up because it's been generalized a number of times in this thread that mac users have a holier-than-thou attitude, which is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard in my life. A bunch of my friends have Macs, because we like them. I chose it over a windows computer after messing with someone else's MBP, and turns out, I liked it. I'm not trying to be artsy or hip, if anything, I think owning a mac makes me look like I'm just following a trend. I don't care though, because the joy I get from OS X more than outweighs any predisposition people might have towards me for using it.
