Posted just for FlaSoxxJim As a long time Unix guy I made the jump from Windows on a laptop, to Linux on a laptop, to now my intel macbook Core Duo. The best thing for Apple is when Steve left Apple, had the NeXT company, and then came back to apple with lessons learned. When they put BSD underneath the hood is when this became viable. When they converted the intel is when they became smart. My macbook outperforms other peoples new Dells, and my Parallels VM that runs an XP VM runs faster in the VM than on a Pentium 4 by itself. I just got my boss to get a MacPro workstation and he is doing Oracle testing underneath a VM. The only thing that Apple needs to do, and this is a religious war for Apple, is to allow the OS to run on other Intel hardware. That is the only real thing that is holding them back.
December 12, 200619 yr Yeah. I'm one of those rare people that have owned both and definitely prefer the PC. Every benefit of having a Mac, the functionality/usability for multimedia, is severly diminished by the lack of available software and additional hardware, especially for gaming.
December 13, 200619 yr I bought a Mac a year ago, and I will never go back to Windows. In one year, I have NEVER had a SINGLE problem. Wheter it be spyware, viruses, random DLL issues, system crashes. I have never had a problem. I work with Windows PCs at my work and within 1 month (more like 2 weeks ) of a fresh Windows install, issues pop-up. WinBlows
