Right.... you know what Bootcamp is right? you partition your HD and you install windows on it. If ever you want to run windows you just restart your mac and hold the alt/option key. you will be presented with both volumes, and you choose to boot up into Windows. I still run OSX, but if I want to play games I can just boot up into Windows.

P.S. I fixed your spelling when I quoted you. And "OSX 10" is redundant, think about it.

P.P.S That Google thing had Mac winning for me. So far none of your stupid links have been proving any point for you.

All you PC Fanboys out there (obviously there's quite a few) here's something for you to chew on:

Ask ANY Mac user if they like their Mac and then ask how many, if any problems they've ever encountered via hardware or software.

Ask that same exact question to a PC user and gauge the responses.

Start chewing.

I freaking hate macs... I think it's a really bad OS, especially for gaming. Macs are definitely not a gaming OS, an Apple machine though, are getting closer to what PCs are capable of but not entirely there. The only good thing about Mac machines is that you can install XP onto them

The OS is amazing, you don't know what your talking about, of course it doesn't play games, who makes games for an OS where there are very little gamers on it, compared to the amount on another OS. for christs sake, apple computers are virtualy the same as PC's now, so they can actually do the same thing as them!

There's blood dripping from my ears. I think I just had an aneurysm.

Getting closer to what PCs are capable of?....CLOSER?!?!?! You really need to expand your mind outside of the gaming world. Being a gaming forum, it's be be expected that there are gonna be the kind of people who just go [caveman]"No game on mac? MAC BAAAAAAAAD!!!!blarghgwahfishsandwichcaveman" [/caveman]
but still if you people really don't know what you're talking about then just don't bother. Macs do just as much if not more as PCs. Where OSX lacks in gaming capability it MORE than makes up for it in......

1. Ease of use
2. proficiency
3. Amazing apps
4. Digital media management (Windows media player and suck my left nut)
5. Web browsing (and I.E. the right)
6. SECURITY (I can't stress this enough)
7. Good architectural design on the hardware (far superior architectural integrity than most PC hardware )
8. distributive computing research (i.e. Rosetta@home and Seti@home)
9. and a sweet ass style that most PC users try to emulate with Ram hogging apps like Windows blinds.

So yeah, pull your head out of your Radion6500000000000's ass and realize there is WAY more to computing than games





Your rebuttal?
