Mac OSX Leopard on PC Rig?

how can you tell that when i haven't expressed my point of view? its a joke.. lrn 2 laf.
I dont use nor do I own a mac. i have a pc that runs - tah dah! winblows.. and linux. i've been using windows since i started using computers (aside from playing games when i was little on the commodore >.<) and i've been using and experimenting with as many of distros of linux that i can get my hands on since 2004. i've worked on, setup, and done troubleshooting on macs when i worked for the IT department at the college, and i created countless images for ghosting the new pc's we'd get in and those images were - of windows :] and a butt load of software that would always slow every computer we'd get. no matter how much ram, how fast the hard drive, how speedy the proc with a zillion cores.. etc. so obviously i'm not a mac "elitist", people are used to windows, they're comfortable with windows, a good portion of them dont know theres anything except windows, and a lot of people couldn't grasp using another os. those are the people that should be using windows. soooo...where does the narrow minded view come in? idk...sounds to me like you're speaking from your rear >.<


while we're making judgments, i'd have to say thats a pretty ignorant statement. what version of windows? vista wont run on my 900MHz P3 with 256MB of ram and a 10 gig hard drive. and vista ultimate wont run for s**t on plenty of peoples current hardware. however, linux will run on my 900MHz P3 and it will look, in my opinion, prettier and will probably run faster than a pc with 1gb ram and a 3ghz proc running vista. now you could go ahead and throw xp on the poor old P3, but thats old news. who cares what came out in 2001? especially when i can use a linux distro that just came out with a new version in october.
so given vista requires at LEAST 512MB of ram which is a JOKE if you actually want to use it.. it requires 15GB of hdd space, etc etc how is microsoft NOT designing windows to run on specific hardware? apples OS works with PPC and Intel procs with a patch to make it work with amd.. microsofts OS only works with intel and amd (x86) procs. apple - 3, microsoft - 2.. =\

i'm bored.. have fun :]

Back only 10 years ago, I would have never used a mac, just too proprietary then. Nowadays, they are better. Anymore, it is microsoft as a brand of hardware/software that is keeping a leash on things. They kind of have their eggs in the wrong basket, but have (semi) good intentions. Like with the open document format that the shiny new office 2007 natively uses (office 2007 can eat doo doo for the record!), they say it is suppose to use xml or something, I don't know, but it is suppose to be better suited for integrating into production...but only if you do one of two things: get a volume license for office 2007 and upgrade all 350 computers on your network, OR you can go around to 340 of your 350 computers and put a patch for office 2003 so that they work with the .docx files. Or alternatively, you can just get open office and not have to worry about it anymore.

My point here is this: Apple made a smart move when they went unix based for OS X and started producing intel based computers.
