I think the point he is trying to make is that he shouldn't have to
 
[citation][nom]liveonc[/nom]It would be nice if Apple had "Official Partners" that could sell "Official Hackintosh", offering a budget clone-Apple, instead of being so territorial. More luv, less grudge. ;-)[/citation]
They tried that and the clones almost drove them out of business since they were making comps that were better and cheaper then the Macs 😛

Yeah, and brain surgery is easy as pie too when you have the Surgeon's Manual open beside you.
 
[citation][nom]guzz46[/nom]Apart from playing certain games what exactly is it that linux can't do that windows can?Installing software on linux is a piece of cake, and what makes linux a poor experience? because there are a lot of people that much prefer the linux experience than windows or mac[/citation]

Because its useless, it always was that way. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 over my Ubuntu 10.04 and im not even sure why I wasted that time. I had other distros that were even more useless. But all I do with it is upgrade it, tune it, play with it a little and never boot it again. Its just useless for the most part.

Windows 7 ULT x64 is superior in every way. Get real those linux distros are just cheap Windows knockoff. They are technically great but they still serve no real purpose.

Tell me one thing that I cannot do with Windows? Hating on MS doesnt count as a meaningful activity.

And who said that Windows wasn't free?
 
[citation][nom]liveonc[/nom]There's an Apple Mac Pro VS PC Hackintosh build comparison: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index. [...] mitstart=5 Only problem is, updating is so risky, it's a waste of time if you intend to build it for work (unless you don't update). If Apple provides their own motherboards to an Official Hackintosh Partner, they can still control who can use their OSX & maybe offer an "inferior" OSX to them & sell even more Mac stuff, keyboards, mice, PC enclosures, monitors, etc..[/citation]
actually...

this link is a great resource on building a Hackintosh. I used it and my system is not only updated to 10.6.4 with all updates but it is also rock solid and stable. I use it for film/video editing using Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, DVD Studio Pro, After Effects, etc.
It sports an Intel Quad-Core overclocked from 2.5Ghz to 3.0Ghz, 4GB of RAM, nVidia GeForce 9500GT GPU, 160GB SATA Drive, DVD Burner, Thermaltake Liquid Cooling and an Antec Sonata Case.
I'm quite excited to see what Lion has to offer, especially for my Hackintosh (and because all of the computers where I work are Macs).
 
This site must have the highest percentage of Apple haters on the web.
I'll take OS X over Windows any day. Lion had better have allot to get me to switch from Snow Leopard.

I don't think you would say that if you met me face to face, troll

Can you also name a thing you can't do with linux that you can with windows?
Could you please tell me why you think Linux is a cheap copy of windows? Specially Ubuntu that the GUI (Gnome) used is way different that that of windows.

And how exactly is it useless? read this article then try and tell me its useless http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_adoption

Please tell me why you think Windows 7 ULT x64 is superior in every way, because i can think of many reasons other wise.

You want to know one thing you can't do with windows? well with linux you can completely change the GUI from a full blown KDE to a lighter and faster XFCE or to just a window manager or to no GUI all together or everything else in between, linux gives you choice, with windows your choices are very limited.
I can also update every single piece of software on my PC with one command, windows only updates windows software.

Then there are things linux won't do that windows does like fragment your drive, get viruses and spyware, registry rot etc...

Oh and i managed to get Windows 7 ULT x64 for free also but i still choose to use linux.
 
Hey Guys.

The simple thing to note.
Windows users are familiar with windows. They will be biased to windows, they do not wish to change. that is typical. Ignorance and Bliss are the same thing here.
Ubuntu Users are a more dynamic and tried people. they typically sit there frustrated with the happy ignorant windows people. That is a Ubuntu user's flaw. The Ubuntu O/S Is in my opinion the most powerful O/S with the most software.
MAC OSX , (another version of Unix) is a very good OS for Computer Idiots. I personally recommend any computer user to Use them rather than windows. Due to the stability and speed. Windows users bitch and moan about crashes. and viruses. but they will moan even more when you tell them all that will go away with a mac.
I summary
The Mac computer range will take more of the world computer market, due to the simple thing, stability and very superior for virus protection and by far superior management. More companys are purchasing these for these 3 main reasons. Today as a company investment, the Mac computer range are cheaper than running windows computers.
