no offense you guys, but have you been a mac user or have even laid your hands on a mac? seems to me you don't know a lot about mac. like for example you both agree there's no MS Office on a mac?
i beg to differ:

hmm..no offense meant...I overlooked those in between parentheses sorry hindi ko na napansin yung MS Office ni sir na binanggit. copy pasted kasi eh. Excited kasi magpost eh and saying agree ako sa lahat is a bit premature wala kasi dun focus ko. Again I apologize for that.
Yes I know there is MS Office for Mac and they are releasing packages for a long time now which I didn't really try even Office 2008 for Mac noon and I don't plan to try any MS Office for Mac anytime soon.
I have a legit license for MS Office 2013 on my Windows 8 but it is impractical for me to buy another one for Mac and besides there is no Office 2013 for Mac and I don't want to be stuck with 2011. My friends say that Office 2013 for Windows is equivalent to 2011 for Mac but I disagreed with them. It is not identical to the Windows version which is 2013. If there are plans for MS Office 2013 for Mac, I don't care.
Anyway, I always use LibreOffice suite on Mac which is free rather than buying another license for Office 2011 for Mac. Running Windows on top of Mac using Parallels just to use MS Office 2013 is just waste of computing resources and besides Microsoft Licensing is per device only so you can not use the same license running on both devices at the same time. Technically you can but it is illegal.
Some of you may think this: why don't I try Office 365 so that I can have freedom to use MS Office to a few PCs and to a few Macs or tablets all-in-all in a single subscription which is license-free?
My Answer: I dislike paying monthly on a continuous basis for Office 365 just to use Office 2013(Windows)/2011(Mac) and I don't need cloud services either. Other cloud services offered by MS are just an excess thing for me and I don't really need it nor want to use it because for one reason- Google Apps is already there and ready to use for free if your only intention is to make a collaboration or to make your documents publicly viewable on the net then you may use Google Docs+Google Drive(a part of Google Apps).
I am not saying it does not have its drawbacks nor I am saying it is anything greater than MS Office. No. All I am saying is... it is a very good alternative
Ultimately, the retail licensing of MS Office 2013 never expires which I bought around $120+ for Home & Student edition last year. I don't need MS Outlook anyway(I use Thunderbird on Mac,Linux and Windows) so I chose Home & Student edition and
you only have to pay it ONCE
Now doing the same with office 365 which I needed to pay $7.99/month just to use it on both Windows and Mac at the same time with complete freedom. How much do you think it will cost me in a year?
Multiply it by 12 months = $95.88/year or almost P4000/year and still you have to pay Microsoft continuously non-stop(unless you opted out of the subscription) or they will lock you from their service and you can not use your MS Office anymore. Compare that to $120 of licensing and pay it only once.
And to answer you frankly. Yes I have laid my hands on my Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro on many different occasions already which both are now aging and old.
The only thing that I like with Macs are the Thunderbolt and the Retina display(for some Macs) but that's about it. Intel is the one who invented Thunderbolt and Apple just stole and patented it. This is why there is no Thunderbolt components/parts that can be bought for PC for many years because of legal issues. The latest PC motherboards have Thunderbolt sockets now. I dont know what happened to the Apple Patent or what legal move Intel did but I am just glad that it is now available for PC motherboards since last year starting with Gigabyte and Asus motherboards. That's another reason for having a PC. I am still hoping and waiting for a Retina Monitor alternative for PC.
Honestly, I prefer a PC because I can do more with it than from my Mac Pro. Anyway that is my opinion alone. I am in no position or in no right to stop people in acquiring their Macs.
depende siguro sa napagtanungan ....

anu ba yun applications na hinahanap na di available, yun MS nga di mo alam na meron sa MAC
Naghahanap sya ng:
*Immunity Canvas- Preferrably the latest atleast 2012..ito kasi ginagamit ng company namin to assess security lalo na sa network. Dito kami nagffile ng reports at mga analyses and white papers. Pero gusto nya kamo Mac na gamitin nya as permanent sa office eh. Then I later explained na yung software na yan is a company deal and customized sa company namin. Kaya mahirap maghanap ng gnun version lalo na kung lahat sa opisina eh nakaWindows malamang walang Mac version na customized para sa company namin kahit merong Mac version.
*Hide My Ass VPN--for Mac version daw gusto nya cracked. dito palang napangiti ako dahil cracked pa talaga. Hindi ko na hinanap kasi alam ko na san tutungo search ko. I immediately recommend hotspot shield VPN for Mac libre naman may annoying ads nga lang.
*InqScribe(Mac version syempre) - as usual naghahanap ng crack. Meron ako binigay pero hindi gusto nya yung latest version. sarap iuntug yung ulo sa pader. I even recommended an alternative app called Express Scribe for Windows(pirated) and run it in Windows using Parallels at iba pang alternatives na libre. Hindi eh mas gusto nya daw UI nung InqScribe na yan.
*Adobe Photoshop CS4(cracked for Mac version)---that time wala pa nito..pero ngayon meron na. CS3 pa lang meron nun for Mac na pirated.
Marami pa sya hnahanap and nakalimutan ko na majority sa mga hnahanap nya and hindi rin namn na mahalaga mahanap kasi hindi ko nman na sya kaoffice mate 2 taon na. eh ewan ko kung asan sya.
At hindi naman ako noobish para maging ignorante sa paghahanap especially when it comes to recommendation sa apps and softwares hindi naman ako kagaya ng mga iba need pa magtanong hindi na lang magresearch ng solo then test kaysa naghihintay ng spoonfeeds sa mga TS sa mga forum tapos mainipin pa.
Your recommendations sa mga nakalist jan na naibigay ko maybe different than mine kung ikaw nasa lugar ko that time... but still both can be considered... Walang mali walang tama. If you feel na mas marami kang alam na apps sa Mac na pwd irecommend at parang namamalian ka dahil lang sa simple misunderstanding then very good saludo po ako sayo. In the end.. wala ako pake kung mas maraming kang alam kaysa sakin kasi in the end I stick by my recommendations sa mga taong nagtanong sakin dahil hindi ko na rin mbabago yun but I can add it as future reference. ganun lang kasimple. hindi naman tayo pagalingan at pasikatan dito.
. I have used both and with the same softwares installled (Adobe CC). Both can do the job well and both can use the 3 major OSes (Windows, Linux, OSX on PCs though needs a bit of tinkering). Both breakdown roughly at the same rate, provided that you're carefull and know what you're doing. It all boils down to the user.
