    Marrowmind doesn't even cost 150 bucks...

    But I think the PC is still the best of the three, though if I had to choose a console it would be the XB.

    Then you obviously haven't played an Xbox before. And their OS's aren't crap, it's that most people don't know how to use them properly. They go around installing whatever they can find, throwing it all together without doing any regular system maintenance and then wonder why they get a blue screen when they open a certain program. If you control what you install, run scandisk and defragmenter every week and reinstall programs when problems appear you will have very little trouble with Windows, trust me.

    I run Win98, and for the year that I alone used it (not allowing anyone else to touch it) I've experienced maybe 3 bluescreens (not counting times when I put in a dirty CD

    ). Before, when I let my computer-inept family use it I was getting several bluescreens and lockups a week.

    Mac focuses on friendlyness, Windows focuses on functionality. Two completely different OS's.

    Preach on! That's music to my ears Xelios! I run a finally tuned PC, and if anyone puts a finger on it without my knowledge then I beat them down. My Mom gets blue screens when she uses the computer, that's why Im always in the room when she uses it. She used to think that the only way to close a program was to push CTRL+ALT+DEL.

    Now as for the x-box. It isn't complete crap. It has some redeemable qualities, like halo. That's just about all I can think of. I just don't see the point in paying 30 extra dollars to use the DVD player, so you have to admit that Bill is greedy. On another point it may be faster but hard drives do and will crash. A gaming console shouldnt have a hard drive.

    I don't see the point in paying for an extra attachment just so I can play with 4 controllers

    As greedy as everyone else I'd say. After all, he is loosing $150 on every Xbox sold, and he just gave like $10 million to starving people in Africa. I still don't like MS for being such a monopoly though.

    Maybe, all I know is mine hasn't crashed once and I love having it.

    And on Windows, I know how you feel CC, my brother just deleted a legitimate Windows Javascript file just because he got an email from some guy he doesn't know telling him it's a virus. 10 seconds on google and I find out it was a hoax. Sigh... now some Java applets won't open in IE anymore. Ah well, this thing needs a reformat anyway, my dad's installed too much useless junk.
