Are Mac users more honest than Windows users

Details of new research on Mac OS X Leopard show that Mac users are buying family pack licenses, even though they aren’t forced to. On the other hand, Microsoft goes to great lengths to validate every Windows installation. So does this mean that Apple customers are more honest than Windows users?

hmmm... I don't even want to comment too much about some of the above written... then

its quiet ignorant in some cases and proves that the authors have not much in-depth knowledge

about computers at all.

Why Mac people cheat less ? Because in general you don't have too.

Most free applications that come with the Mac work just fine for smaller daily things...

The professional counterparts do not cost as much as on a PC (exception like CAD app's exists of corse).

If you can buy a family pack of a Mac OS for less then a single seat on a PC, then why not be honest ?

Bill Gates & Co practically force people to cheat... with their price politics on real mass market products.

The funny part here is, that apple and their apps are niche products from a qtty point of view.

And can anybody tell me what you can't do on a Mac ? Except maybe marveling t blue screens ?

Just a small example, the entire Turino 2006 winter olympics asset tracking, of all av equipment where handled by apple computers (MiniMacs, iMacs, PowerBooks), including wireless barcode readers over Wifi

and GSM/GPRS.

All the Asian Games asset tracking for all look and branding items where done on a similar system.

Most of the Asian Games branding design was done on Apples too... plus a good portion of engineering etc.

So please don't tell me a apple is limited !

But there is a flip side to every story... techno geeks are frustrated with Mac's, since you can hardly use

and workshop tools on a Mac and there is nothing to configure on the hardware side... frustrating eh, if a computer just keeps working ?

Being flexible to other technologies such as Apple inc.

Apple software, takes a little bit of initiative, a bit of personal innovation, lots of self discipline in able to learn; the full applications and innovations, with a twist of reverse engineering.

In Doha there is no sales for Apple software, except the traditional I-pod users and lap-tops. Apple has great friendly plug and play software that are better than Windows.

Windows operating software is just a platform loaded with good things and bad things.

Windows has a rash for viruses attacks.

Windows has way too many issues with copy rights.

Apple has no viruses and there is no need for Anti-virus software.

Apple copy rights software are already recognized as open source due to the dynamics of Unix.

Apple computers are worth the money in handling any applications for any purposes.

In my opinion Apple ROCKS THE HOUSE AND YOUR BOAT. Just because you are not a happy with your apple computers is your own fault to elevate yourself to a better operating systems.

On very few occasions that I have used Mac (in graphics applications) I have noticed that they are not software friendly. For example while using Photoshop (it is so confusing when shortcuts are diff. in Microsoft and Mac) not all additional filters can be uploaded. A bit off the topic comment but I was put off by Mac. Found Microsoft to be more user/software friendly.
