Mac Vs Windows - Your opinions?

[Isphera]

I like the fact that Chalex instantly came to the aid of Phantom. I don't know what I am implying by that, I am just saying. They know each other in RL too. Hmmm.

Again - Hypocrite - I'd do the same for a Team Lush member.

What makes you think he came to my aid? What made you think I was in trouble?

I have x64, which speaks for itself.

The files aren't corrupt either, Most of the .doc files are being used right before they send it to me as they've just been created.

If thats xp x64 its not stable enough for normal end users, if your not a tech head go for vista x64 only the 64 bit xp has so many problems its untrue and unless you know what your doing and beyond its not worth using.

I didn't say you were in trouble, I just said that because he always seemed to post the same as you and at the beginning put 'Just as Phantom said' a bit. And was within 5 minutes of each other.

Oric is just trying to spam to get his posts up in a thread he can't really help out in. :P

--- Woo i'm doing the same! Woo! woo! ---

Soooo, what are you suggesting?

[Isphera]

Nothing. I promise

If anything, it's not about you

I also fancy a change too, want to learn new things. Work on a system that has a lot more features

Daemon and I are using Ubuntu Linux 7.1 in a virtual PC for a change, although this takes away most of the risk of anything going wrong and affecting our Windows OS, it does restrict allot of things, however a dual boot of Windows and Ubuntu would allow you to use all the features, and it does have some pretty nice 3D effects that could make Vista jelous.

The 3D cube is not fancy editing, it is a way of cycling through the different desktops the Ubuntu gives you (You can switch between several workspaces as if you had multiple monitors) however it is running a Vista Aero skin and Compiz Fusion.

Might I also point out that Ubuntu is COMPLETELY FREE and there are very little viruses for Linux.

See me if you want a link to the free .iso file that I used (not the newest release.)

I've pretty much decided I'm gonna go for a mac, with OS X Leopard on it. BUT run Windows XP 32 from inside Leopard itself as if I'm running any normal application. So I can run it like a Mac and a PC at the same time. If it's possible, I'd use a dual screen set-up with the spaces (I know Dual Screen is possible, but not sure how it'll work with spaces) and have both running side by side... Which also, is apparently very easy to set up and there is actual software you can do it with.

Thanks for the help guys!

My mum uses a Macbook for work and has a runs WinXP on it through VMWare and it runs smoothly and unlike some virtual machines, it recognises your real processor and GFX Card.

VMWare Fusion...
You can also use Parallel desktops to do the same thing. I might use VMWare fusion though as it supports multiple (up to 60) OSs.

Have you seen the video of a Mac computer running windows? It's Half-Life 2, full graphics, and even with three grenades going off at the same time, the computer doesn't go under 60fps ^^

I prefer Macs because I use alot of graphics programs. (I'm not saying I'm good with them mind.)

[VoX]

Ah VMWare Fusion, that's the one she uses.

what?

what?

sorry I nearly bust a lung, a "mac", theres not just one mac.

any mac pc can be bought as a pc with the same hardware as -£400 pretty much everytime and a lot more on high spec hardware, install OSX if you really want it but anything a mac can do a pc can do better. sorry its just I dont want to get into this arguement again when its started and finished on oh so many thousands of sites.

Oh and you didnt just try to justify buying a mac for its gaming potential did you ?
