For anything multi-media.. whether it's viewing video, pictures or whatever, I think Apple is the way to go. I've been a Windows user for well over a decade and have had a Mac for a year now. I rarely use my Windows machine now.
Quicktime files play best on a Mac since Quicktime is native. Mpegs and avi files can be played with Quicktime also (although some avi files require the free mplayer to view).
WMV files can be played with Quicktime using the free app "flip4mac".
It sounds cliche but it's true - it just works. It costs a little more but here's what I don't spend time on: virus checking, crashing, security (although you have to secure your network regardless), and just plain ol aggravation. I spend more time using the Mac rather than trying to figure out what's wrong.
One more advantage.. you can have multiple vids open. Can't do that with WMV files.
If your Windows machine works for you and you're happy with it then stick with it. But if I had to recommend one or the other I'd go with a Mac. Besides.. you can run Windows on a Mac too so if there's a specific Windows app you need you're all set. |
