@mikitymike Dude, get over it, why do you care what computer I use, I mean, does my computer purchasing really have that big of an effect on you, a person I don't even know? Thats pathetic dude. I use PC and Mac, Mac works better for the work I do, if I worked at an office all day, i would be on PC. I think you need to calm down, comparing my preference of computers to my sexual preference is not only stupid, but makes no sense, you think your words will make me run out and buy another PC, no.
Its just that these macs shown on the video are very OLD.
If you compare a Mac OS X Snow Leopard computer with a Windows 7 PC which have the exact same specs, the mac will boot like 20 seconds faster than Windows!!! :P
Of course 7 will be nearly as responsive on generic crap hardware. Simply because Mac OS X has very limited drivers, its only got drivers for Apple Hardware. In professional testing conducted at my work (a College), we discovered that Mac OS X is actually faster by a huge margin on Apple Hardware over Windows 7. Both native, with every piece of software under-the-sun installed. Windows-painful,OS X-smooth.
Windows 7 is about as superior as a car is to a jumbo jet for transatlantic travel.
Generic crap hardware? My hardware is vastly superior in everyway to any Mac currently on the market, especially my graphics card. So please go back to your inferior priority hardware.
@ACEDcomputers That's not my point. My point is on order to make osx run on your computer without licensed hardware not only do you need an ilegal patch but you also need to find home-made kexts. This makes for a very piss poor computing experience.
@TurnYourBrainOn2 ACEDcomputers is actually quite right, I also have OS X on my PC, runs like a charm, even faster than my iBook :( but about the same speed as my brother's MacBook Pro :)
Of course, you're basing this on legacy hardware with obsolete versions of OS X. I mean, I could go on and say Windows is slow, but you'd rightfully object if I based my opinion on the boot time of a Pentium III with 512 MB of RAM running Windows XP SP1.
Modern Macs start up much faster, usually within 30 seconds.
Windows 7 on modern hardware also start up faster than legacy versions of Windows.
lol, you can't just make that statement without justifying your reason - you should at least answer the basic questions such as what hardware? What OS version? Legacy/non-legacy? How old is the computer? tisk tisk
I think the G3 processor only has a 5 stage pipeline whereas the G4 on the iMac has a 7 stage pipeline plus the vector processor that's not on the G3. I think that's why the G3 made it to the boot screen first. But eventually the iMac will win because of it's clock speed. Just for the record, It's Mac OS X "mac os ten". X is the roman numeral for 10.
@imacbook1407
the imac will obviously win because the ibook has a g3 core and the imac has a g4 core.
ps do you have an apple airport wireless card inside your macintoshs

@TurnYourBrainOn2
The hardware inside a mac is the same inside a PC. It is quite easy to build a rig with the EXACT same specs as a mac.
2. The patch is NOT illegal
3. You do NOT need kexts IF you are using apple supported hardware.
4. Performance is equal to a mac.

Because the iMac is brighter and the camera is not exposing equally to both, so makes the Clamshell look a lot dimmer.
