By Jonathan WelshGetty ImagesApple founder Steve Jobs changed the way consumers and companies think about passenger vehicles.

Steve Jobs changed how people look at computers, but he will also forever be tied to the car business.

Sure, there were the stories about the Volkswagen bus he sold to help get his computer business started, and his Porsche 928, which inspired his design vision for the first Macintosh. He also developed and ran Pixar, the animated-film company that brought us “Cars” and “Cars 2.”

But a bigger effect the late Apple Computer founder and chief executive had on cars and how consumers use and regard them is summed up in a comment a 20-something friend made a few years ago. She was explaining how the then-obscure Pandora music service worked when she said, “I never listen to the radio in the car. I mean, why would I do that?”

Why, indeed. since the majority of new cars today are equipped with iPod receptacles, why should anyone listen to a jabbering deejay? There were MP3 systems for cars before the iPod, but the inviting, easy-to-use Apple device brought consumers on board en masse. It is also the reason you don’t see those goofy clear-plastic CD cases strapped to cars’ sun visors anymore (unless it’s my car).

Perhaps more broadly, Jobs and his company’s sleek, attractive, and intuitive products gave the auto industry a long-term inferiority complex it may never overcome. It seems every car maker says it is redesigning dealerships to be as attractive and popular as Apple stores.

I recently drove a Volkswagen Passat with an interior full of angular, smooth, glisenting black and aluminum-colored panels clearly borrowed from Apple devices. Many cars are sprouting iPod and iPad-style touch controls and screens, but some systems, like Ford’s Sync, haven’t generated the same level of consumer love.

Some manufacturers including Audi, BMW and Lexus are still trying to match the old mouse as a simple interface for operating sound, climate and navigation systems, but they are better known for annoying users with complication.

Car companies could take numerous lessons in design from Apple. But I don’t think I want Apple to start making iCars, since they would probably drive themselves and leave me with nothing to do. still, it would be nice if my wife’s next car brought her the same joy she now gets from her iPad.

Yes you can use Vista/XP on a Mac with either Bootcamp, VMware or Parallels and it runs very well.

yes they are really good. they are fast and very secure. they cant get viruses so if your worried about hackers or spam or pop-up windows then this is a great option. i think the memory is pretty good depending on which model you purchase. i wish I would have bought a mac instead of my dell. good luck!

u can vote me as best answer if you want…

its possible to run windows on a mac using bootcamp or other software that is out there but you need to buy a copy of windows to do that.

My question would be if you need to run windows then why not just by a windows machine?
They are less expensive and just as stable as macs…i know everyone who loves macs say they never crash, blah blah….they do.

macs are great if you want a nice looking machine, that runs great, costs alot of money and isnt supported by alot of software that is out there.

————————————–…
oh and even though the user above me states "they cant get viruses"…they can, they are just not as common as windows. but yes there are viruses that can attack a mac, you just see very little of them cause nobody bothers making them since their are very little mac users out there.

You can get windows (you gotta take it somewhere and get it done) but i wouldn't. i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my macbook! ive had PCs and last year i switched and it was the best thing i ever did! i figured it out pretty quickly but im good with computers so idk. but its not hard at all! go to an apple store and try one out! apple.com you can get prices

Macs are Much more secure, easier to use, more versatile out of the box, and just work a lot better. you don't get al those annoying pop ups and constant updates. If you can wait a little while I would wait until Macworld in January. it's usually around the middle of the month. Steve jobs (CEO of Apple) holds a press conference and usually introduces new products. also if you're a student or teacher then you can get an education discount.

To answer your questions: Post sale service is great. Apple is often Rated as having the best customer support in the computer industry. If you live near an Apple store you can go in an ask them anything you want and they can answer it. It's also really easy to switch from windows too, you just take in your old computer to the Apple sore and they'll transfer everything over.
It is possible to use Windows on your Apple. you don't really need to because there are very few things that Macs can't do anymore. To run Windows on mac you have two options, 1) use Bootcamp, this comes on every new Mac. it allows you to boot up your computer in Windows and it will be just like a PC. Boot camp requires you to buy a new copy of windows Vista or XP 2) you can use a program that lets window run within Mac OSX. This lest them both be running at the same time. The down side to this is yo still have to buy a copy of Windows and also buy the software. there are to programs that do this. VMware Fusion, and Parallels Desktop for Mac. They're both about $80.
