You're right. It does make actual partitions. Tell whoever that thinks it's emulation to suck a fat one.

Sorry but I won't install win7 on a Mac. It's freaking slow on Apple computers.

My Win7 works well on regular pc. The iMac is about to head to the recycling plant.

@dontinchballs ha!

@murdoch201 Yeah, you just proved my point. It's not all Apple hardware, and thus does not use Apple drivers (trust me, while you install the Boot Camp drivers on Windows, it's evident it uses official ones and not Apple-made ones).

[murdoch201]

@Warmijwilf Nope, There is no Apple hardware (maybe just the mouse+keyboard). There is a Nvidia card, a Samsung or LG display, a hard drive from (something else then Apple, forgot the name), ... Only the blueprints are from Apple. However, maybe except the video card drivers, most drivers are from Apple. And i still get kicked out by punkbuster, on 2 Mac systems.

@murdoch201 um, the video drivers used are the official NVidia ones. you see that during the Boot Camp install, that it is automating the install from the disc/USB (plus you can download them from Nvidia's site yourself).

Well of course the drivers are mostly made by Apple, because most of the hardware comes from Apple. You wouldn't be put off if Acer supplied their own drivers for an Acer laptop.

Windows takes long to Boot up in Boot Camp because it needs to emulate a BIOS within it's EFI.

[murdoch201]

@Warmijwilf Boot Camp uses Apple drivers, on an Apple machine. When i see the speed of booting up Windows in Boot Camp, i just know Apple messed it up. By the way, i tested and i got kicked out of almost every EA game beceause of Punkbuster, a very popular anti-cheat system. My video drivers from Apple seems to be a hack or something...

[Warmijwilf]

@CyphenPhsyX Oh, I'm sure it's different for different people, but in my experience alone Photoshop runs a bit better on OS X. Nothing enough to make a major decision to switch to Mac by any means at all, but just personal experience kind of thing. :)

@Warmijwilf

I run both OSX and Windows yet I find that InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop etc... run just as well on Windows as well as OSX... Maybe Apple made OSX optimization for Adobe software better then Microsoft with Windows but from my experience:

All Adobe software is just as fast on OSX like on Windows (same hardware used), there are small difference such as Short-cuts but that's nothing ....
