I agree. Honestly, for office purposes, Mac sucks donkey balls. Anyone who is going to use Mac for an office purpose, like slideshows and word processing needs their head examined. Although Macs are MUCH better home computers. Even though SnowLeopard was JUST released, i will say that it SUCKS compared to Windows 7. This OS is god

I tried the Xubuntu Jaunty beta release yesterday. It looks very polished, although the Xfce settings manager still isn’t too user friendly. Why do they have one button for window manager settings and another for window manager tweaks?

Most Linux distributions aimed at home users do come with the latest kernel, already compiled. And compiling the Linux kernel isn’t that hard anyway.

Quite frankly I’ve had more problems with Mac then I’ve had with Windows. My gen 3 iPod nano. It kept crashing, freezing, and other such things. ._.() I tried using a Mac to print off a paper on Monday. I failed so badly at trying to print, that I had to have my friend basically do it for me. >.>;

As for my desktop, which has XP and my laptop, which has vista, I’ve had no crashes. Not unless if you count dropping your laptop countless times, I’ve never crashed a computer. Though if I can manage to seriously /lag/ a 4g ram HP laptop, I can literally crash a Mach as if it was nothing. My only issue is price and computer speed (which could probably easily fixed with expansion packs and other such things).

HA HA HA HA HA.

If I had a nickel for every time an Apple product crashed, I’d be as rich as Bill Gates, it not richer. If this stupid iPod crashes and puts up a screen saying that it happened because it is “full” at 13 out of 80 GB used one more time, I’m throwing it in the trash and buying a Zune. At least Microsoft can admit that their OS had a fatal error when it crashes instead of trying to tell me that it’s my fault because the hard drive is full, even though it isn’t.

I’ve only had one problem with my new laptop that came with vista. When i connected my tablet it had a weird reaction with pen sensitivity, apparently my laptop thought it was a tablet one. so…that’s it. no crashes, or issues since then, despite the fact I watch movies, play games, and basically use it like it’s a desktop.

I’m of the opinion that Windows is on par with MacOS classic. Not posix compliant, needs antiviruses, so on and so forth.
…What did Apple do with MacOS classic, and what’s it going to look like when the same thing happens to Windows? ^_^ I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Mac OS 10.6 is pretty sure to, for some period of time at least, be the ‘best’ desktop operating system on earth. (I’m skipping 10.5). Shortly thereafter, ubuntu should pass up 10.4 in terms of polish, putting it cleanly in second.

If you’re not impressed with OS X, wait for Ubuntu 9.10 and try that instead.

I have a mac. It’s a 1.25 GHz eMac G4 with a gig of RAM.

..doesn’t change the fact that Ubuntu hardware support is superior to that of OS X.

I’ve never been able to use a Mac without it either crashing or simply not working – failing to read CD-ROMs, unable to open programs, file save errors, etc.

I’m totally unimpressed. Windows sucks (or at least did until Win 98), but the Mac sure isn’t a solution for anything.

Windows comes with a compiled kernel out of the box! I actually think that is useful. And it’s more than many linux distribuations.

“OS X doesn’t support my Dell”

You can’t run MacOS on a PC….you need a fu(king Mac.

Yes, there are ways to crack it to make it work, but not natively and once you force it to do something it wasn’t designed to do, stability issues are your own fault.

What are you smoking, and where do I get some?

“user friendly”? Have you ever USED MacOS? It blows windows away in terms of ease of use and intuitive controls.

Windows is huge in the business world because of the numerous ways you can configure the OS to meet different needs, but MacOS is far superior for the average home user. The only problem is that Apples are too expensive.

Oh, I crash my work mac a couple of times a week. But. I use a mac because I’m coding platform-independently (yeah, well, as much as possible :p ), and it’s quite doable to run win and linux on the mac. (So it’s not the mac as such that crashes easily, but probably slightly shoddy software combined with various memory leakages, the construction of which I am completely NOT guilty of… ;p)
.
So yeah, there’s a lot involved with how stable you find a system to be – the machine you’re running it on, what you are doing, and some sheer luck, I think. (My personal computer which I use for surfing and playing computer games on now rns Vista and does that much more stable than my last computer with XP.)

I don’t know where I was going with this. But to all the people who complain about Bill Gates and “M$”, to you I say BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That’s you. That’s what you sound like.
Sometimes when I don’t understand what people are saying (like when they speak in very foreign languages, for instance), my hearing sort of saves me the effort of trying to decipher it but letting it all filter through as sound. I suppose it’s something like that that’s happening to you when you get the “BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW”-sound?

By: Danbala

Danbala — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:47:11 +0000

My mac doesn’t recognize my cameras, but it’s only running OS 10.4 Maybe 10.5 is better at that?

I don’t know, OS X doesn’t support my Dell worth a darn either, but that’s okay, because it came with Ubuntu preinstalled.
..so did my mom’s.

Yeah really. Ubuntu and Mac OS X both kick Windows in the balls, usability wise.
