i have grown to like it over time also. I have some rigs with touchscreens (that are very w8 friendly) and some without. It doesnt matter what OS you use, it matters who is using it.
once you go mac you never go back.
Most Windows computers from 2009 are probably slow
I feel mine is OK. I mean, I'm sure it's not as fast as today's computers, but compared to a 09 Windowspc, day and night.
4gb ram, 500 go HD. Recently upgraded to 10.7 and thought it would slow it down, but didt! I was surprised. I can run reason 7, Maschine and iTunes all at the same time with no issues. I'm not that computer savy, but I can't complain about my Mac. Even though I would like a new 27"
Not exactly sure. I'll check on that and report back.

Mac forever. They just don't slow down and become outdated as fast as Windows computers. I'm using an imac from 2009 and it still performs amazing with all the programs I use. Most Windows computers from 2009 are probably slow, virus infected and bound to crash.
Cause I have friends with Windows pcs that I use occasionally and they just don't compare. And it's not an laptop, imac.
If someone could, present the facts, unbiased; pros and cons to each os for music production performance in terms that we all understand here. Not gonna lie, ive searched the net and cant find anything that helps me lean towards one or the other. And with the FL beta for Mac im sure in the future there won't be a problem switching between Mac or Pc for Fl Users.
Cost - why does a mac still cost more than the comparable pc? Steve Jobs' original marketing model people will pay more for quality no longer applies as the distinctions in quality no longer apply: they use the same processors, they use the same basic OS configuration (oth Mac OSX.n.n and Windows NT/XP//7/8 are variants on unix borrowing muxh from both unix and linux), they use the same basic I/O protocols and peripherals (mostly thanks to Apple's efforts in creating standards like Firwire and it's dumbed down cousin USB), etc
User configurable: which machine is easier to open up and change peripherals/ram/hdd/optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay), add additional cooling systems, cards that provide extended functionality like additional drive connections, in machine audio cards,
