the funny thing is, in the shop class, they had computers with XP on them just for running autocad (but i thought macs were supposed to be better for designers and artist types??? lol...) and these computers were made around the same time as the macs, had similar specs, and cost the same as the macs because the school couldnt afford anything more expensive due to budget.
This was in 2007-2008 by the way.

Windows is still unstable as hell if you have a lot of files and software installed, sometimes i format windows to clean and get restored stable.
Are you using microsoft office for mac? it really sucks
The printers are from hell, because there no open source and require drivers for the printers, i hate controlled catdriges that wouldn't us allow to refill ink. You better rent Xerox printers.
Flash is unstable as hell too for mac and linux, why don't you use HTML5?

It's not about the photo filters, not anymore. Here's a rundown of why Macs have this stereotype about being used by designers
First, the obsolete 'facts'
a million years ago it was the only operating system with a real GUI, and the only one that supported a mouse.
Photoshop has always been available (and for a long time better supported) on Macs
And now, onto modern day
They have this stereotype associated with them already due to the previous two points, and these things tend to perpetuate themselves. Design shops buy Macs because they have always bought Macs
Designers have no need for the office suites or enterprise integration that are Microsoft's strong points
Designers care about aesthetics, and Macs have the most aesthetically pleasing hardware and software available
Designers typically don't know anything about computers other than Photoshop, they want Photoshop to work with the least amount of stress and Macs are great at 'just working'
Apple makes the best displays in the industry and they have for years
Apple bundles a bunch of multimedia stuff into the OS, but I doubt any of this is of use to a real designer
However, they also offer higher end applications like Aperture which are only available for Mac
I hope this clears things up because frankly I'm sick of all the misinformation flying around itt
