The ARM based tablet is limited to Apps from the MS app store. The x86 version allows you to run those and any other software designed for Windows.

I take it your sig is hosted on your own website? It's the only legal way you could see who is looking at the forums, then you would have to go through the logs to monitor connections, Then you have to trace my MAC to my user name to say "you use Windows more than Linux" which will take time to recognize a pattern.

Even then it only shows that I visit these forums on Windows more, must be coincidence but I assure you I don't live on these forums, I do other things as well, The only way you can definitively say I use Windows most is if you have installed spyware on my laptop and are tracking me.

Finally figured it out? :p so you know I'm not lying. :p But yeah, you're right. I grepped my logs for way longer than I should have. The count without narrowing it down to ffxiv site is 130, which was what I was working off of. But once I narrow it down, it's only 8 returns.

It's not a very good way of saying how people use their comps, also in that log you showed there is no mention of an iPad just mac OSX where iPad runs iOS.

Using the logs only shows us when we are accessing you sig, or we are on a page you have posted I, so it only shows how access this site.

Typo? There is no Mac port of SWTOR. It won't even run on Wine (Linux or Mac). (Well, a few claim to have, but it involves patching and recompiling Wine and massive workarounds and still there are issues.)

But back to ARR, Cider > Wine > no Mac port. And even a native port can introduce its own bugs and performance issues, so there's no automatic win there.

For capability, it's generally Windows >= Mac > PS3. (So many Windows computers sold only have built-in graphics, if any, and Macs at least come with some graphics, so there's a little overlap. And though less powerful, all PS3s can play ARR.) For numbers of gamers, it's PS3 > Windows > Mac.

Think I had a brain freeze there, SWtOR shouldn't be there obviously ;)

I've tried WoW on OSX (native client) as well as WAR on OSX (Cider port), and both had bad performance compared to running them on windows though bootcamp on the same machine. In case of WoW it was doable, in case of WAR it was so bad it became unplayable during bigger pvp battles.

So, while a Cider port is better than nothing, there will also be a LOT of whining about bad performance and that the Windows/PS3 people have an advantage over the OSX people etc.

I think that's actually Rukkirii's. That's her reply. It's obviously really bad for gaming because it only had Intel graphics, however it makes a fine very portable work laptop if you don't require a lot of power.

It was on Okipuit's instagram posted to his twitter, and it's him saying that he has loads of pics to edit, so I think it is his.

I wonder if we will see a thread "The community team's wild adventures in SF" lol.

Ya, it probably his then. Anyways I think it's funny. Not as funny as seeing Gabe Newell giving his presentation on an iPad and saying something negative about Apple in relation to the PC.
