[QUOTE=ddr;536966]^^ What i wonder is when Leopard comes out if you will be able to use Windows (bootcamp) as a space using Spaces...[/QUOTE]

Nope. Apple said it won't invest R&D into the virtualization market.

If you are retarded enough to download and install something that needs an admin password from a porn site then you deserve it.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

fun is on PC both hardware and software... the fact that "some macs" can run windows xp/vista doesn't mean you are going to get the same experience meaning full PC hardware capabilities. (notice the mac mentioned above which didn't impress me a bit) at the end of the day you end up using WINDOWS for the cool stuff weather you like it or not.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

oh and they have 4 different and varied priced versions of the same operating system. MAC has ONE and at ONE price that does everything. No need to upgrade to Leopard Pro...if you have a mac, you already have the pro and elite version of the OS.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

The only disadvantage I've ever had is not being able to use certain online media players. To me however, that's hardly a disadvantage considering all the trouble you'll save yourself by having a mac. Seriously though, I don't mean to bash pc's, but I've been using Mac Powerbooks for six years now and I can honestly say they are hassle free. Everytime I use a pc there's a problem that shouldn't be.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

the disadvantage is that you get the same stuff whatever you buy. OS for PCs is in shit, at least Vista, OS for MACs has the same problems, as you can read here [URL]http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=907&tag=nl.e622[/URL]

as i understand, both PC and MAC use the same kind of processors.

so the only difference is prefferential, americans go for their stuff, cos its "hi-class", normal people who dont need computers which are nice from the outside, go for the classic towers, which can be very "pretty" if you know what to put inside.

I wouldnt throw windows and OSX into the same category in a million years.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

oh, i am very sorry for misunderstanding, i was talking about new Leopard.

but i can say, that OSX did freeze so many times during normal use. XP had a slow start, but i wouldn change it now for any OS i know about.

you are very correct about that, and the reasons are pretty obvious from my post.

I dont say that i dont like you guys, i just mentioned my experience and opinion about new WIN and MAC OSs, cos i saw where is this thread going, and wanted to chill you all out with an article where a guy says bad things about both OSs.

I dont have the intention to argue with you, its your right to use whatever OS you think its best for you.

cheers

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

I wish I had all of the problems that people on here have with Windows but then I'm not an asshat or a janitor. I guess that cancels me out of being a dipshit.

Re: disadvantages of buying a mac

Gotta say I might even make the switch to Vista again, since -apart from the driver problems which have been solved for me- i really thought i was more stable than XP...at least for me. Not switching to Mac, since I'd want a Mac Pro and not an Imac, and they're so incredibly expensive i get nightmares about it.

And, for 3D PC's are better, too (source: Computer Arts), and I definitely want to move into that direction a bit more in the near future.
