Windows is buggy and slow lets buy a Mac

Cant be bothered to read  this thread but just thought would say, drop both and go with ubuntu

I have ubuntu on my laptop. it is a great os. for linux, it is easy to use.
Works great for web, mail, facebook, etc....
 
But it sucks for gaming. Have tried it in my pc.
Getting games to work, specially new games ain't easy.
And when they work. it works at half the speed of windows, at half the GFX settings of windows.

 
I find it brillaint for games, znes, mame scumm etc.
 
I gave up continualluy upgrtadding my pc to run newer games and just stick to my xbox and wii.  
 
For everything I use my computer for ubuntu has it more than covered and its all free

I ran Ubuntu Karmic but switched from Gnome->KDE. And yes, I know CPU scaling works on this system (it ran Windows earlier)
 
But you missed the point - this kind of pinching, poking and tweaking shouldn't be necessary.

Sorry I am a recent ubuntu convert , and yes it does pee me off on occassion . Infact after weeks of messing about had to downgrade to 8.04 as the intergraterd ati gpu in my laptop not supported anymore (or by windows for that matter) , but as to fiddling, if you have used Amiga, and I assume you have given the nature of this site , its part of the fun.
 
But as i posted on another thread. Enable restricted drivers for gpu and wirelss and everyhting works out of box.
 
cheap no name bluetooth just works and connects to my home theatre for sound. Creative zen vison m sycs out of box etc etc etc connect new printers, installs ( couldnt get it to work with windows 7) , low level ink warning etc work .
 
I tired some distros years ago and didnt get anywhere.  With ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 its pretty much as polished as windows if you ask me
