I didn't start reading into the thread until I saw Gel talking about graphics cards :)
I read many of the threads on the list, have for years, some I'm on in the beginning, some I'm I come in late, and some I don't participate in. Mac has a pretty box and a neat OS. But my jobs uses the OS so much as it can run the applications. The primary applications for me Are Visual Studio, and SQL Server Management Studio, and Windows Server Admin utilities. At home I play games and use Photoshop and check my email. How would I do that in a Mac. Sure the writers at PC world can switch around, they write articles for a magazine. They like to look cool at the coffee shop. My point is that it is very easy to pick one or the other when you don't do highly specialized tasks or the software vendors make multiple versions of their products. But in many cases to most people, they need something specific, or something that can do anything. The games aspect is a big one for me. I like RTS games, which just don't work on the console. There is a new HALO RTS coming for the xbox 360 which looks interesting, and I'll probably get it. I like my xbox360 and my Wii. But it just doesn't work for everything. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave l [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 1:33 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: New MacBook Pro 15! > > If you dont see a point then why are you reading a mac thread? > > Look up some reviews of running windows on a mac and most will say that > it actually runs better on a mac.
