1. Comment - XP Won't Run on Intel MacBook, iMac

   (Jan 13, 2006 - 9:44 PM)

   Perhaps I'm the only one, but my Jabra headset and Nokia phone work pretty close to 100% of the time. I don't forget to toss both on the chargers at the end of the day. You can always say "Wait a few years" with any technology. There will always be something better a few years down the road. Some of us like to take advantage of what we have available now.

2. Comment - XP Won't Run on Intel MacBook, iMac

   Let me preface this by saying that I use both XP and OS X on a regular basis. That said, I do use XP more. Each has its own strengths and I use them accordingly. Also, you seem to have confused Macs with MAC (media access control) ;)
   
   "No MAC has ever come close to the network tools Windows has as default, seeing how MACs have crappy networks, and let get on to the more proven side of things."
   
   Please, show me these tools. Until I install Cygwin, the default toolset in XP is lacking.
   
   "Yes it does, just as good as MAC's built in. Not speaking about the second or third party software that you need to even see pictures in the correct format with MACs."
   
   I'm not really sure what image formats you're talking about there. OS X's Preview app seems to handle most of the images I've thrown at it, plus PDFs, which XP requires a third party download for. If it's odd ones like tga and the various raw formats, XP needs third party software for that.
   
   "WTF are you talking about, are you stupid? XP can handle every font that a MAC can I have tested this a 100+ times!"
   
   I'll agree with you on that one. Unless there's some obscure kind that I'm not familiar with.
   
   "yeah and seeing how you can't teach even a 10th of the world to use MAC Crap that you can't use it so that is null!"
   
   I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
   
   "OMG!!!!! MAC is the one that used the OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD version of FreeBSD! Get a grip!!!"
   
   If you think that OS X is FreeBSD, you're wrong. It uses the FreeBSD userland tools (which are far from being old versions. Most being actively developed.) and a fairly customized version of the Mach kernel.
   
   "MACs are out dated and have been for 10 + years now!"
   
   I fail to see how they are outdated. Perhaps aimed at a different market, but not outdated. My Mac supports just about every current technology as well as Windows XP does, and better in the case of Bluetooth (I really wish XP had a better BT stack, since I end up using XP more often than OS X)
