Windows is buggy and slow lets buy a Mac

Can I offer you some cheese to go with your whine?

Mac is lame and Windows ROOLS hahahaa!  Mac is for n00blets!

Don't forget Bill Gates is an all-around cool guy and Steve Jobs is a complete tool.

These are some fool propaganda things you're saying.

The only fool is someone who gives a damn about what anyone else thinks of an operating system.

I have them all here, I use Windows the most.  They all do the same thing, end of story.  Any arguing that fact is completely pointless.

I like vanilla ice cream better!

they are cool! cool for a girls bedroom

I always thought Apple machines were pretty cute and aimed at girls.  They had that black MacBook for a while though, which was almost interesting, but it had a garbage video chipset so I passed and bought a Sony instead.

Who shuts down their computer anymore anyway?  Between sleep/suspend and hibernation, my systems rarely get an actual reboot.  Did Apple ever get hibernation going in OSX?  I only remember seeing them use sleep mode.

Oh and games for Mac? That's a joke in itself if you ask me, why by a system that doesn't allow you to let off steam once in a while (or at-least very limited).

I have Postal or Postal 2 around here somewhere for MacOS..

I would say most people shut down, rather than sleep/hibernate.  Especially laptops, which are prone to heating up in a bag if they are left asleep, and which take just about as long to get out of hibernate as they do to boot anyway

What kind of crap laptops have you been using?  I've got no less than 7 or 8 here, and they all use about as close to no power as you could hope (and make no heat) in sleep mode, and coming out of hibernation takes far less time than an actual bootup (not to mention the battery savings,) especially on older systems.

Fast bootup is nice, sure, but OSes and systems are stable enough to suspend/hibernate, and people do take advantage of it.  I routinely hibernate my dual-boot netbook and switch from Linux to a hibernated Windows session and vice versa.

Its a 12 month HP DV4.  It heats up if left in a bag in sleep/hibernate.

Get it fixed, it's not working right.  Maybe a BIOS update...

And i've timed waking up from hibernate: the difference is maybe a few seconds.

..and then how long does it take to start up your browser and IM software and office suite and whatever other applications you'd have running?  If you hibernate the system with everything running, everything comes back in a running state with no additional wait, saving even more time and power.

It sounds like people just need to learn how to use the capabilities of the current operating systems before getting new features.

Anyway, on my mac, I find it's easier to simply click on the highlighted file's name name and edit the file name that way.

Same with Windows.  I had no idea about F2 to rename a file in Windows!
