  • I wonder how many Win PC users that buy a Mac go back to Win? And I wonder how many Mac users that have bought a Win PC go back to Mac?

    I guess most Win PC users that bash Mac have never owned a Mac. And I think most Mac users have at one time owned a Win PC.

    This is just my observation based on the vast share of the market that Windows has over Mac.

    I have used Win for 20+ yrs & went to Mac 6 mos ago after my LAST crash with data loss.

    And I am not going back to Win. Not even Win7.

  • That makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. If you're running Windows on a MAC, it'll be subject to the same issues as running it on a PC.

    The latest 8-core Power Mac couldn't even reach 30 FPS on Call of Duty 4. A PC of equal hardware performance would eat it for breakfast and achieve benchmarks of well over 100 FPS. Saying that Windows runs best on a MAC is a joke.

    the fact that windows runs better on a mac is not based on a Parallels desktop application. That way windows is just a program that runs on the mac system.

    Windows runs better on a mac when Booth Camp is used. This way windows does become the main OS and thus perform very well, better that on a normal pc. Pwnd

  • Parallels came to our office in Los Angeles for a demo. The Parallels VP of Sales David Feldman showed up at our office drunk and smelling of wine. He talked for 20 minutes straight about things like how he invented texting and other nonsense. We will never have parallels back.

  • @MaximusCerberus Indeed,it's exactly like running Windows Virtual PC,at the cost of performance,you can run 2 Operating Systems simulaneously.I don't know why Macs have such a horrible performance...but i could run Call Of Duty 4 on my old computer(2.8 single core,1gb ram,512 graphics card) perfect on low :/

  • @MaximusCerberus I suppose you have to consider ther graphics card too...

  • @ROGYORK Just one crash a you made the verdict....lol, i hope that your mac is gonna crash too....

  • @MaximusCerberus it was my understanding that most of the problems typically ascribed to Windows are due more to a mash up on different hardware cause compatibility issues as opposed to the software itself. Isn't that why Macs are supposed to be more secure? Because Apple has their hands on every part of the computer assembling process as opposed to just the software which is what Microsoft does?

  • Linux wins.

  • Even mac users are installing Windows Se7en.. FAIL

  • it's like installing a 2cv engine on a ferrari
