I hate mac so much, i dont care what poleop say

At least when i get made at my windows install i can format and put a diff os on it or take the parts from my comp and use it in a diffrent one.

I looked at http://www.macmall.com and did not see any OS for mac that where not mac OSs,

Face it mac was made for the mac OSs while PCs are made to run a wider verity of them.

Bleh. Here's the thing: OS X is for Macs, if you can afford one, use it. You won't regret it.

Bleh. Here's the thing: OS X is for Macs...

(i know there are more the one mac hardware desing, what i ment is that they make the desging and not some one eltes).

Mac-bashing from your point of view is like saying "Don't buy NetMD Walkmans because you have to use Sony's own Disks to play it, you can't buy them from other companies".

You're implying that people have 1 Mac and 1 PC, which is the case with most people who have a console and a PC; they have both, not one or the other.

Macs are different. You don't like the change? Stick with your Windows/x86. That's how simple it is.

and people that can afford it, will get one.

I hope u mean poleop who like it and can afford it, will get one.

1) Windows is not a cheap clone of Mac. If anything, Mac OS X is a cheap clone of BSD, which is a good clone of Unix.

That's why the validity of your gaming argument towards the performance of graphics rendering falls short. Macs, sorry to say, although being amazing for working with graphics, design, ect. Suck at the games. I just installed Quake on the laptop and meh, it runs just the same as it did when I had my old 800Mhz AMD Duron Processsor with 128 MB of SDRAM RAM.

Here's the thing... Macs are basically a UNIX clone. Therefor, when you run Mac OS X, you are basically running a really cool looking copy of FreeBSD.

It's a shame that companies like Adobe and Macromedia don't just recompile their Mac OS X source for Linux. It's the same thing, only compiled just for macs with some bits so that it works integrated with the GUI, that can easily be re-written.

OS X 10.3.4 is beutiful, and I plan on ditching my gentoo box for nothing more than gaming, and as back-up PC.

PCs really do have better performance than a G4. C'mon, over-clock an AMD 3200+ to 8.3 GHz and tell me your 1.25 Ghz Mac is faster.

There's where your virus argument falls short, again. Since it's UNIX, only linux viruses' would work for it, and let's face it, whens the last time you saw a UNIX/Linux/ or BSD virus? That's mainly the reason why Apple migrated to the "Darwin" kernel. Have you seen how many viruses there are for Mac OS 8.6? It's insane!

Why did you have to revive this thread? It was fine just the way it was. :-/

Yes, windows is a cheap clone of Mac OS. The Apple MacIntosh was the first computer ever to provide the user with an easy-to-use GUI. Until then, everything used a command line.
Secondly, gaming on a mac is superior. Although the games themselves are low in numbers and dated, it is a proven fact that all applications, gaming or otherwise, run faster on a mac than a PC. The only reason your version of Quake hasn't improved, is that it CAN'T improve. It was designed for an 800 MHz PC. Aside from changing the code and the file format to create a Mac OS X version of the game, they aren't going to go through the trouble of updating the drivers to increase the performance of the game. People who bought the game years ago had to suffer, so why shouldn't you?
Thirdly, as far as I know, there is no such thing as an 8.3 GHz CPU. I have no idea where you heard that; PCs only go up to 3.4 GHz, and that's as good as it gets.
Currently, I know little about older versions of Mac OS (such as 8.6), so I'll let you win that one for now.
But the fact remains that Macs are just better in every way. Except games.

About your 8.3 Ghz PC, have you ever herd of a little something called overclocking and liquid nitrogen cooling systems?, goof.

As for the games thing, that's pure bullshit and you know it.

"It was designed for 800 MHz PCs". Dumbass, just because it was made to run on low spec machines doesn't mean it'll degrade in performance the faster your box is, it gets FASTER. Let's look at the theory of conservation of energy for a second:

I put more power in, I get more power out,
I put less power in, I get less power out.

And 800 MHz machines cannot out perform an 8.3 GHz machine, no matter how hard you try, It's 100 times faster, no matter what point you try to grab the concept from, this will not change.

And at that speed gap, no matter how grossly the programs are codded, they'll still perform faster on a faster machine.

EDIT: Don't tell me you're one of those people that call it "MacIntosh" and not "Macintosh". Macintosh as in the apple, dumbass. It's not like it's the "Intosh" version of a "Mac" PC.

RE-EDIT: What the hell? They "Won't go through the trouble of updating the drivers to increase the performance of the game"? Heh, I guess all those patches that came out for it where just a waste of time then, eh?

Oh, and last I checked, patches were files designed to fix bugs or treat faulty performance
