@montego24 I ran ubuntu 8.1-10.1 and the stability of windows 7 is superior. I'd never go back to linux. It's just to clumsy for some things and lacks things like system restore if something goes wrong. Also, having to use wine for windows apps was a serious problem! Most of the apps I tried running under wine ended up with a problem of some sort or another. Even with Codeweavers Crossover Office, most programs still have issues. Linux was fun in general & for WEP cracking with aircrack though:)

you don't want to spend a fortune (?) buying a mac?you thing it's overrated ?at least throw your windows away and install linux.

@Olli120 yeah, but I like Mac more than windows =] and that's because everything works. I have worked my whole life with windows. And windows XP was terrible, vista too. But it seems that windows 7 is going the good way :) But after all, it's not that Windows is bad. It's very good, but I have to use my Mac for recording music and stuff because of my Study.

That's because Mac's have low end hardware; Mac OS doesn't need such a good hardware.

[annah199486]

but is it slower using windows in mac? some of my friends said it is slow while he is doing research, but it is good while hes playing games in it....

@Chibicho After reading a ton of Youtube Comments, it seems more like this to me:

Apple Fanboys: bitching about how Windows sucks without even having it tested

Windows Fanboys: liking to put all mac users in 1 stupid (fanboy) category

and it's both fucking stupid isn't it?

There is a difference between fanboys and normal users and, surprise surprise, there are also normal mac users, ya know? ;)
