I only dislike mac because of one reason- games. I mean, you'll be like "Man, I love this program... It runs better and faster in windows, and dude, this thing is different and nice looking", but then when the time comes when you say "ok, now lets play some games", your only choices are 3 year old PC ports or sessions of Velocity Nova, which get pretty old quick.

Oh yeah, I forgot there is that apple logo puzzle game...if thats a way of "gaming".

i'm not telling you to change what you do.. i play games and use windows also..

don't get so defensive damn. i'm just saying apple has really opened up with their new os. just be flexible, try to use something different to compute for once.

Hmm i thought pro already knew the fx was faster.. apple has never really cared about speed (but that's changing) - that's why the apple freaks get all ready with asthetics and goodies. I doubt apple will make an x86 because apple is in fact a hardware company, that's where their $ comes in. They don't charge all that cash for nothing.
