Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

The one thing I got from that was the Duke Nukem Forever someday, which was funny, since WTF is it gonna show? I wanna throw cash at strippers and then blow them away... just like when I was a kid. :)

DENMARK!

 

It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

I don't think Oblivion is on the apple.

Macintosh is gay. They should just make PC's with linux on them (which is almost what they do nowadays anyway)

Macs are annoying, all the geeks have 'em.

My school has a couple Macs I think.

My girlfriend just replaced her iBook with a Dell. I was so proud.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Nonsense.

Did you actually use (a hour of poking around doesn't count) GNU/Linux and Mac OSX based systems?

..and add the fact that the new Macs run on slightly modifed PC hardware

There is more to an operating system than just a kernel.

Yes, there is the overwelmingly enormous administration of a top-heavy graphical user interface to consider, as well.

Well, all I can say about MacOSX's GUI is that its so user-friendly* that it makes WinXP seem perfectly logical in comparison.

Apple and Microsoft user interfaces turned out like this historically. It is a matter of habit and expectations formed in years. From a mac user's point of view, it is YOU who drives the car backwards.

Edited by Diamond

But since youre a Mac user, anything you say is obviously biased and so we dont have to listen.

Failed. I use Windows almost exclusively.

So after giving us all this high and mighty argument about Macintosh, you suddenly turn 180degrees and admit that youre just like the rest of us. There's a word for people like you... flip-flopper.

 

 

There. What are you going to say now, Mister flip-flopper?

I don't know about him, but man, I would say that I would never use that term.

It's a Swedish thing... :blink:

I use Windows because of

- Windows-exclusive software that I need for my academic activities

- games

- habit (using Windows since v3.11)

- I can't afford a Powerbook

It is a matter of habit and expectations formed in years.

 

You could get accastumed in using Windows with only your keyboard if you wanted to, what does that prove?

As someone who has used both OSes extensively (most of my university career was conducted on Macs) I can say that I find Windows irritating in that nothing works as designed or properly, and the error messages suck. Mac OS is brilliant, because everything just works. Until it doesn't. Which isn't often, but when it happens you have to replace whole parts.

 

I like the flexibility of Windows, but then again I still use the command line. :p

Not a good analogy. My point was that when you are accustomed to some OS, you'd expect UI of the next version to be more or less consistent. The longer you use one, the harder it is to accept another.
