It's also completely illogical when people say that their programs aren't available for platform X, therefore the platform is inadequate. Sure, program 1 from platform Y might not be called 1 on platform X, but platform X, 99% of the time, has program 2 which does the same things more or less with program 1.
I like the mac and OSX and use it from time to time for work however I have not made the switch because:
- I'm an Oracle database developer and there are no development tools on the Mac for Oracle (not that I've seen anyways)
- Cost... I can buy a laptop with Vista for hundreds cheaper than a Mac
- Finally, the games that I like to play just aren't available on the Mac.
I did see an interesting article the other day which showed how to install OSX on standard, off the shelf intel hardware... I wonder if I could set up a dual boot environment on my laptop.... :roll: :lol:
