Why do people buy a PC when the Apple computer is superior in every way?

PC's are cheap, work worse,have more repairs, get spyware,adware, viruses, worms and are not user friendly. It's amazing anybody would buy a PC rather than a Apple for home use.

Why do people buy a PC when the Apple computer is superior in every way?cafe racer

More people buy PC's because they are also more universal, meaning more people have them, so more software is developed for them. Also, when IBM began to market the PC they let other manufacturers build and market compatible machines which caused the market to boom. As opposed to Apple which is the only company that makes Apple compatible products.

It is the same as when Sony developed Betamax to compete with VHS. It was a smaller casette, with better quality, but the held all the pattents and eventually VHS dominated because of the ability different companies had to market their own products.

There are also more viruses and spyware for PC's because they are more popular, not because Apple is better. If Apple were to grow in popularity, more viruses would become developed too.

Why do people buy a PC when the Apple computer is superior in every way?free anti virus

Because I prefer SuSE to YellowDog, and:

Apple: 1-year warranty included

Evesham: 3-year warranty included (Still valid for hardware if you install Linux!)
Because PC's are a lot easier to maintain, plus you can swap any compatible computer parts with other parts, but apple has only apple parts, making it more expensive to fix and maintain.
I asked the same question many years ago when I had an Amiga. Why would you want an expensive IBM or clone when my Amiga did so much more for so much less money. Marketing and stupidity. There should more competition like there used to be.
Because Apple ownership brings with it a smug superiority complex.
man that busness.someone will buy them .
FAR MORE applications have been written for the PC.
bc they are more user friendly...pcs are easier to use
I think you mean IBM compatible computers. PC just stands for ''personal computer''. Onto the question though, I myself prefer IBM compatible computers due to the sheer erm..compatibility between computer models. You can take a project from a Dell to a HP to whatever else, and not have to worry about transferring over your work.
pc's are more affordable; more software is compatible; and more industries use pc's so a home user will be compatible with their office system.
I don't like Apple's interface. They're neat though.
Here are the factor which make people to go for PC over Apple

How can I recover my Digital Cameras Software?

I have a Minolta Dimage E223, I know Minolta isn't making them any more, and I have checked online and with Sony who has taken over the repairs, etc for Minolta. Even checked with the Place Sony told me was selling parts, etc. Noone seems to have the software anymore. Last time I had the computer repaired, the tech removed the program, camera works fine, just can't get the pics from it to the 'puter!

I tried a friends photo program, it recognized the camera, but wouldn't download the photos!

How can I recover my Digital Cameras Software?free antivirus download

Does Windows see the camera when you connect it to the computer? Use Windows Explorer (found in Accessories) and see if you can find the camera. Usually, when you select My Computer you can see all the drives connected to the computer. If you see the camera as a drive letter then use Windows Explorer to see what is on the memory card. Then, select the pictures you want and copy them to where you want them to go.

If you don't have the Sony software and if it no longer exists then the above steps are what you will need to do unless you can find another software program to do just the same thing.

When antivirus software on computer detects a virus, what action should be taken?

My avira antivirus software detected a virus named DR/Zlob.gen

it asked me what action to take. the following options were given

1) delete

2) repair

3) quarantine

4) access deny

5) ignore

avilla itself selected access deny, and then i click ok. However few seconds later, it then decided to choose quarantine, but i changed it to delete.

did i do the right thing? what action would be best?

When antivirus software on computer detects a virus, what action should be taken?computer repair

I just delete everything dangerous and quarantine anything not so dangerous.

When antivirus software on computer detects a virus, what action should be taken?free antivirus

A lot of the anti-virus programs choose Quarantine just to play on the safe side. This is usually a temporary stop gap just to make sure that your computer continues to operate properly while the file is being quarantined. If all is well after a few days, you can go into the file that has been quarantined and delete it safely from your computer.
Okay, first of all, we need to clear something up. Just like there are NO laptops around any more, they quit making them two decades ago and are ancient technology (today's portable computers are called by the industry either ''Electronic Notebooks'' or Notebooks'' for short, or are the smaller ''Electronic Tablets'' or ''Tablets'' for short), you also need to know that a ''virus'' is only ONE kind of computer infection!

Computer Hardrive Replaced and iTunes is gone?

We got our computer ''repaired'' but along with it went my hardrive and all 2,000 songs I had on my iTunes. The music is still on my ipod (5th generation 80gb video). I know that iTunes only goes from my computer to my iPod and it is almost impossible to put the songs back in my library through my iPod. Are there any music players compatable with an iPod that will allow me to restore my songs without going through all my cds and borrowing my friends cds again!?!?!?!? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Click Yes. If you got your music from CDs, or off the internet (other than iTunes), etc., the follow the instructions below:

STEP 1:

鈥?Plug in your iPod. iTunes should open up. If not, then open it how your normally open. Wait until it connects with your iPod.

I believe that in Brazil, when you need your computer repaired, you take it to a special company to get it repaired and that they have many locations throughout Brazil.

Many thanks.

Is utorrent a virus risk to the computer?

My PC had a virus and the woman at the repair shop told me it was because of utorrent. I just want to know if she's right or wrong. I paid loads to get the PC repaired.

A clear explanation would be appreciated.

Is utorrent a virus risk to the computer?firewall

Torrents is a way to file share from peer to peer (P2P) unfortunately you don't know what is on the peer system with regards viruses etc, until your anti virus goes mad detecting them as you download, or sometimes does not detect them at all, until the next time you boot the machine and they execute themselves (exe files) and virus makers nearly always execute them to run in your system32 folder, so are much harder to get rid of (they know this) because system32 is running in the background, and therefore the virus software cannot kill the process it is trying to quarantine/delete, access to that file is nearly always denied, that's why safe mode is used to get rid of them, also some viruses have the capability to duplicate themselves every time you boot the machine, so really you should use file sharing with caution, and scan your system at regular intervals.

Is utorrent a virus risk to the computer?husqvarna

Ivan R, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how bittorrent works. While some other peer to peer file sharing networks cache unrelated data on your machine, bittorrent does not. The only warez, porn, pirated mp3's, trojans, malware and viruses you will get on your computer from bittorrent are in files you _chose_ to download.

To get the dos screen use safe mode with dos prompt. For multiple loads, you need to have a Microsoft multi licence as otherwise you will be installing one copy of XP to every machine, this will kill the activation. Your customers will be very unhappy, and if they report you to MS you will be very broke for the rest of your life.

using Ghost to image computers will probably not be useful since all your computers to repair will be of different brands and configurations
Your best bet is to use an imaging program (like Norton's ghost) to set up the installation on the network. Then create a bootable floppy disk that will connect to the network location and install the image over the network. Ghosts documentation should tell you how to do this.

Hopefully you have either windows xp or vista disc, or at least a recovery CD.

Put the CD in and restart the machine, it should, if it's a recovery disc ask you if you want to repair or reinstall windows, if you want to format the drive then pick reinstall windows, it may or may not give you format options as to which format you want to install windows to (generally this will be the largest partition, just pick the option with the higher number)

How much money would it cost to install internal wireless in laptop computer.?

hi, i want to install internal wireless in my laptop but i dont know how to. how much will it cost to install the antenna and mini-pci card in a repair shop or authorized retailer? it's a toshiba satellite laptop. (it did not come with antennas but it has a mini-pci slot) thanx.

Go to buy.com and you get a wireless card and a router for 150 to 200 buck.

It would not cost much to get installed.

DB

How much money would it cost to install internal wireless in laptop computer.?live update

The card and the labor may add up to $200. If money

is no problem, this is the way to go. If you don't

mind getting just as good a solution (but maybe not

just as pretty) for only $50, then read on...

Forget the mini-PCi card, and get yourself a USB 2.0

wireless adapter. Many vendors offer such adapters

for $50 to $70. These are tiny adapters shorter than

your index finger. They plug in to any of the USB

ports on your laptop.

I use Netgear WG-111 v2, which I bought for less than

$50 at BUY.com, and it works very nicely for me.

Linksys, Ddata, and other vendors also have similar

products. The labor cost? Nothing. It took me 3

minutes to install my adapter and configure it with

the software provided by Netgear.

The best part of a USB adapter is the fact that you use

it when you want to. When you don't need it, just

unplug it and never worry about anybody reaching your

computer by broadband.
