    Man I hate Microsoft. I was just at a local Starbucks talking to some other Mac Geeks like my self and heard about windows' project "Longhorn". Its going to be unix based? Why do they have to do this STUPID MICROSOFT.

    (By the way, I heard that Tiger is only $100 bucks at Frys!)

    When you were at starbucks did you consider a 'mocha' or 'cappachino', these may have helped to tame the wild beast................LOL

    I just hate Microsoft. XP Sucks. Really Bad.

    XP is just a cheap, crappy, lazy, and sad attempt at imitating Mac OS X. Plus have you seen how low rez windows xp is? Like the whole os is kinda grainy! How Pathetic!

    actually, i dunno, baabaa. i've never really had the chance to work with Linux, and i don't plan on learning until it's easier for it to work with MS apps and games. but, from what i've read/seen/heard, Linux in general is the best OS and that version seems pretty decent.

    linux is opensource and free, just like Firefox. that alone elevates it quite a bit.

    Macs are for the artsy fartsy types who like the idea of a big pretty looking ornament on their desk. They suck for gaming, you can't upgrade them and the software selection is weak.

    Complain all you want about Gates but Steve jobs is the dummy that refused to license the Apple OS to Gates when asked to way back when so now we have Microsoft :)

    There are VERY pretty though!

    Spot on, but they are still VERY pretty!

    In the UK there are many Universities that are Mac exclusive. My mate has a G4, it is a very nice piece of kit, & quiet to boot! I would love a Mac, but as the great man before said " they suck for gaming."
    I do not know of any Macs that can use SLi technology. Whether it will ever happen is very doubtful. Probably because they were not really made for extreme gaming, where framerate etc is essential. Mac technology does not have the same widespread resources that windows related apps/software writers can provide, ergo, it is not as fast moving. They are extremely good at what they are designed for & are not very prone to viruses.
    I am also not too keen on windows products, but they are widely available & you can do lots of tweeks & is fairly versatile.
    Open source coding is all very well, but I think that you need to have a basic understanding of software & how it works.
    My brother taught himself C++ (along with a large amount of PC knowledge does not go amiss) & along with many others is a software writer/engineer. He considers his job title to be rather vague. Especially as he went solo!

    I have found that if you keep on top of your PC, you should get few problems with it. I have found that most of my PC probs are self-inflicted, as I do like to mess around with it. Fortunately, I have managed to sort each problem out, learning on the way!
