Posted by Spontaneous Madness Don't be a jerk to us Mac fans. We're not being a jerk to you. 
Besides, both of those are lies. 1. I, along with most of my friends, are Mac gamers. 2. Macs do have better security. Nobody makes Mac viruses because nobody can.  |

And Linux has no viruses or spyware either, and plenty of open-source games  |

There should be a rule stating "Do not make a thread about an OS Or a browser".
Anyway, seriously, just use what the fuck you want and stop saying "this is better lol, so this must mean I'm cooler". It's old, and fucking retarded. Also, people, stop saying false facts. Why there are tons of viruses on Windows: 1- More people use it. Which leads to number 2. 2- More people means higher number of retards. 3- More retards means worms and the like are spread easily, or that anything is run in admin. 4- You can guess the rest. Yes, I'll admit Windows could be way better in some ways, when it's about security (and I don't mean "program.exe wants to open. Do you want it to open, even if you did say yes the last hundred times? Oh, and who cares about putting a checkbox to say "Don't ask again, I know what the fuck I'm opening""). I am aware that the is in fish/craziness, but hey, I felt like typing a rant or something. Oh, and the only reason I'd go Mac is for Pro Tools, everything else doesn't appeal to me. [/end crap and stuff you wouldn't probably read anyway] |

Posted by The Red SnifitI never said Windows > Mac (I'm the opposite, I think Mac > PC), I just said it's unfortunate that most things are designed for Windows first and Mac support is added as an afterthought, if at all, so there's much less games for Mac .
Edit: Post 777, and it's about how crappy Vista/Windows is ... I don't know if that's good or bad  .____________________ |

I play very few modern games, so games isn't as big issue for me.
I play uhm... Simcity4, The sims2, Civilization 4 and Command and conquer 3. Out of those games, only The sims 2 dosen't run at all in Wine apparently. Some of them have graphical glitches, but it's interesting that Command and Conquer 3 runs despite being a quite recent game. I probably won't ditch Windows completely, but I might wind up using it only for a select few programs that won't run in other OS's if I decide to switch.  ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

solution to all problems, get a PC with a HUGE hard drive, install XP, and get a mac emulator, so then you get garageband, and good games, and can laugh at people who argue about it.
oh, and you don't get vista's problems either ____________________ |

Posted by tyty210 Or you could just get a Mac and install Windows to it. |

Flurry #&postrank& Probably better that way too, since you aren't going to run MacOS X very well in emulators yet (PowerPC emulation is slow) ... at least until there's virtual machines running the Intel version ____________________ |

i'm not sure what everyone's beef with vista is. my only real problem with it is it's the same thing as xp but windows explorer is different and that it's not that different from xp.
sure its size is about 16 gb, but having 112ish gb available sort of makes it seem unsignificant. 5000 mp3s is probably around 5 gb. big games are between 1 and 2 gb. 26 episodes of some random anime is around 3 gb... hd space is no problem for me. ram isn't much of an issue for me either. i'm running a winamp playlist with about 2000 songs, AIM, skype, mIRC on 5 servers and 18 channels, FIREFOX using 2 tabs, daemon tools with one mounted iso, as well as 2x explorer and one folder open... and i have 500/1024 mb/ram free. ram is not a problem whatsoever. sure it could be using less, but how the fuck am i going to add another 500 mb of crap on? i'm already running things i normally run. there's not going to be much else i'll open aside from maybe gunbound or ro or some game. |

you can just change the interface back to classic(i always did that). it's really not that bad. mine is changed so that isn't really a problem for me.
i never noticed problems with system stability. my highest uptime was probably 3 or 4 weeks, but i use a laptop so uptime isn't quite a necessity(right now? uptime is maybe 5 minutes since installing clonecd.) the driver issues like you said will be fixed as time goes on(and it was released relatively recently too.. february?). the only thing i can think of with "interface is quite different"(which i think is a bit vague) is that it's meant to be different. it's a new os, but you can still change to classic settings(that's what i did for a few things). i think the best change is the start menu. it's no longer a giant beast of crap filling the screen, but more like a folder in 'list' style that uses up little space, loads instantly, and can be scrolled through. it's really quite nice. another new thing i like is how the task manager can be accessed by right clicking the task bar. being windows underneath is what's to keep people using it. i wouldn't really like a HUGE change unless it was necessary or useful... it's still an os and it's not designed to cater to the needs of everyone. you should use it your own way and if it doesn't suit you, just switch to something that does. it's just like people complaining about mac os x, linux, etc(here's where i probably sound like a hypocrite, but in my own defense i only make fun of people who use linux(if they brag about it) because i knew someone for a LONG TIME who complained endlessly about windows and bragged about linux being better... and since then i always realized how funny it was to troll linux users.). if it doesn't suit your needs, you don't have to use it. still, i'd say it's worth a try for about a month or so. if you have frequent issues with it, go back to whatever you were using before. i found that vista was fine, even though i was skeptical at first; i planned on installing xp on here right after buying it.. but i stuck with it and realized there weren't any issues i had with it. |

By default, Explorer windows don't have a file menu, several other windows lack title bars, etc. Don't forget wizards with seemingly fucking random back button placement.
tbh a lot of things in Vista piss me off. It really seems watered down for even worse idiots, and some things just don't make sense. But yeah, a lot of the driver problems are expected (although I had no problems installing it on my grandparents computer and it ran fine). Anyone who whines about drivers and uses Linux needs to be shot, though (wasn't i tjust recently they finally supported Wi-Fi, and even then only certain cards?), and Macs never have that problem because 99% of a Mac is propitary Apple shit. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

That's why I will stay with XP and Linux (preferably one with KDE) |

X11-based GUIs are the best. I used KDE for a while and it was fantastic. X11 just gets everything right, which Windows gets wrong. Take window focus, for instance. Also, the easy copy-paste feature with the middle (or wheel) mouse button, instead of having to mope with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
Can't speak for OS X, as the last time I touched a Mac was 1996. |

Oh yes! Mac's are all fun, and no work
I don't have to mess around with anything I don't want to... they "just work".
