My WinXP machine does not crash per se. After a certain amount of time
(24 - 48 hours) it will progressively slow down to the point of

hit the reset button. If I catch it in time, I can get it to restart

So far Apple has not changed the software bits that would allow
virtualization of OS X without hacking. The hackintosh install may run in
VM, not sure.

Well, Leopard Server runs in a virtual machine. It's supported by VMWare
Fusion and Parallels under OSX.

I stand (sit, actually) corrected. That's a change for Leopard and only
available in the server. However I couldn't find any basis to my assertion
that it was a technical issue, only a licensing issue. You still have to
have the licenses for each virtualized copy however.

As I recall, the PC term was originally associated with early IBM
model computers, was it not? I believe as Windows embraced the IBM PC
architecture, while the Mac OS did not, the PC generally became
synonymous with Windows (the dominant OS on the IBM PC platform).
It is a fairly pedantic

Are you kidding me? If I follow what you're saying, you've had Windows run
crash free for 3-5 months? If so, you should contact Microsoft so they can
make a commercial about you... might halt some of the abandonment from
Windows to Mac if people actually believed that.
Sorry to sound so cynical
Can we kill this thread, or what? It basically turned to name-calling quite

There are plenty of things that you can play with in OS X. You can even play

Hi Guy,
I know FreeBSD/Linux quite well to say that OSX's underlying unix is
just a castrated version of FreeBSD to make it safe for the

If they are not happy with Win/Cygwin I doubt that they found a

often resort to comments like oh it's fine for people who don't know

According to Apple, Mac OS X is a fully compliant UNIX:

Actually, I don't think that is wrong - computers should be easy to
