| the limitations thing is definately something to look at, there are plenty on each end. pcs/windows arent really that good looking compared to a mac, and yes, theyre more likely to get viruses/trojans/etc, because theyre more common. mac exploits do exist, dont let the commercials fool you. macs look good, but they lack compatibility.
on server capabilities, we replaced the mac with a 7 year old pc, which would be considered scrap metal as far as university 'requirements', and it ran error free. the mac clearly wasnt really under a very demanding load, it actually crashed while editing a document. |
