Ok, so the big news yesterday (at least they like to say it's big), is that Apple brand computers with Intel based chipsets will now be able to *gasp* run Windows XP natively!!!!!!
UGGGGGGGHHH!!!!
My friend ( a Mac-head) believes this is the second coming, and that no longer will he ever want to buy an Alienware or Dell PC again, or have to build his own, because Windows apps/games will run better on Macintosh hardware.
Ok...tell me something...if Mac OS X is the king of everything good in software....why does Apple try SO damn hard to make Windows run on their machines?
Furthermore...I have NEVER EVER seen a supposedly equal Mac machine run better than an XP machine. People say that Macs run graphics programs better, etc. But my brand new Mac machine stutters with the latest Photoshop, while my 2 year old XP machine has it up and running in seconds. Explain that! Sure if you have a rack full of OS X servers, but as a stand-alone machine...I've never seen the latest Mac outperform the latest PC.
On top of this....Apple updates core OS X code every month or so. Not just bug or security fixes, but whole new OS X core code! Take a guess how many technical issues stem from programs that no longer work because of a OS X "update".
Last point....sure it might be cool to be able to run both OS's on one box...but can you upgrade? Not really. You have to buy a whole new $1000-$2000 Mac. Besides...if one machine will run windows...I'd like to hear ONE good reason for having it run OS X as well.
I despise Apple! They remind of the pretty boy actor that everyone hates besides adolescent girls (think Backstreet Boys or Leonardo DeCaprio).
No..Microsoft Windows isn't perfect either...but at least they somewhat admit it instead of acting like everything is perfectly ok. They've certainly borrowed ideas from one another, and probably more so on the Microsoft side than the Mac side...but that's how any competition goes. One company thinks of something, the other company implements it and makes it better. Quit crying about it Mac-heads! Lol I can't help that your engineers can come up with an idea, but can't seem to perfect it's finish!
