Macintosh, Windows, Linux

[shadowdude1794]

I know that there was a previous thread about just PC vs Linux, but Macs are becoming (unfortunately) a viable option

 

[tehsnipes]

I love vista and ubuntu man, not a fan of macs.

 

[alexandgruntz]

Windows Vista, but I would use XP or Linux if I had to.

 

[jermaine]

I like windows and macs do look good.
I never really tried linux. Except for a live distribution CD of Ubunto and I was not impressed

 

[Walrii]

Why is Macs becoming a viable option a bad thing?

 

[bigmanbfa2]

I am currently on a machine that dual-boots my WinXPpro and also KUbuntu. Both great OS's. Haven't really got into Vista's GUI yet, maybe I shall change over sometime. I have never and probably never will get into the MacOS.

Mac for life!!! Windows ista takes up way too much RAM.

 

[Momiji]

I would have to go with Mac. Even though I only have Windows Vista I really want a Mac. Windows is starting to suck.

 

[JustBringIt]

Right now i dual boot Vista and mandriva Linux 2008. Macs look pretty but i need windows becuase i play games that just wont work on a Mac.

i want a macbook pro. it comes with boot camp so if i get one i would also have xp nd ubuntu.

You might want to give it another try. I think you'll be very impressed with Ubuntu 7.10. The Live CD isn't the best way to experience it, though, since everything has to be loaded into RAM which makes it slow. Install it to a separate partition or hard drive and use it for a while.

But im having trouble getting my soundcard working. if anyone is exprienced in Ubuntu and linux can they PM me please, credits will be given for sucsessful solution

M$ got two options? How come every large distro of linux didnt get its own option? Linux for the win! If it wasnt for such a large windows userbase we would rule the world by now.

Just install the newest version of alsa, usually fixes problems people are having. Check the forums or google a howto for installing alsa.

 

[satheesh]

I use Windows XP and Vista.

 

[MistaC87]

I personally prefer Linux over anything, but right now, the support for some of the programs I wish to run aren't completely developed, like WoW under wine, Half-Life, etc.

I hear people get them working flawlessly, but that's because they are experts at doing Linux stuff. I'm intermediate at best.

Linux and XP. Mac's are a viable alternative, but the fanboyism by the majority of Mac users is what puts me off, not to mention Apple's hyprocritcal advertisments. Like when they said that Mac's dont get errors? Impossible. 3rd party applications exist for the Mac that can cause errors.

Damn it, go Linux and use Mac4Lin.
