That Mac thread!

[Wolfie]

Mac hardware has been the same thing as PC hardware for a good while now. They dropped POWERPC or whatever it was back when the first incarnation of OSX came out. They have some good, high end hardware configurations which are nice, and the Macbook Air which is unique and incredibly strong for its class.

That said, OSX itself is an incredibly s**tty OS.

I think this topic was about asking for a native mac client? hey OP, is WINE ok, or were you looking for more? i think we got lost. Also, official and unsupported clients for Linux/BSD/Mac would be awesome. Id ask for BeOS, but Be doesnt even support it anymore.

Ignoring all the other blathering I can say a stable working WINE client would be acceptable.

That said, OSX itself is an incredibly s**tty OS.

I have to say this is the first I have ever heard anyone say that. Most PC users i introduce to OSX are stunned by its ease of use and speed.

Lol, what? You get shown to be an ignorant Mac fanboy and you call it blathering? I can not laugh hard enough. Get off your elitist high horse and see that Mac is just an over priced PC with a good looking UI.

Seriously guy.

Nope it is blathering because it is all subjective; there is no way to prove his statements to be correct. it is not a high horse; his "reality" and my "reality" do not jive.

It does not matter anyways. This was not meant to be a flame thread, but Windows fanboys can not handle the idea of someone not only using a Mac but actually wanting to game on it as well. I hardly ever see Mac users going into PC related threads just to tell people to go get a Mac, but Windows user constantly invade Mac threads off all kinds just to demonstrate they are bigger Dicks. Thank you and have a nice day.

Biggest case of the pot calling the kettle black all day on these forums.
Btw, you can't be a "PC" fanboy (or fangirl in my case) because PC is not a brand or label. It is a classification of hardware. An individual can be one for Microsoft or Dell or Mac, but calling one a "PC fanboy/girl" is inaccurate. Please try harder to make actual arguments.

I will state what others have stated before. Mac is a PC. To argue otherwise is to say you don't know what they are.

Now you are just arguing semantics for no real reason(PLUS I SAID WINDOWS FANBOYS NOT PC...LEARN TO READ!). Nobody in their right mind denies that a Mac is a PC, but when people refer to PC the connotation is Windows based computing, so please stop trying to act like you have a one up; you new exactly what I or anyone else was saying. No one was arguing they are not a PC; just a superior computing experience, and beside this just continues to reinforce my point that people who use Windows can not handle the thought of Mac users even existing.

And that just seems to be a blanket statement meant to inflame the whole argument further...

Ya know.. considering the hardware is identical.. lulz

Maybe you should concentrate more on the issue at hand and less on what labels people give you eh?

Anyone who would possibly argue that Windows is a superior computing environment needs to get out more. But hea, it's a forum so someone will make it.. soo if Windows is such a great environment and is easy to use etc etc.. Lets look at any old area of the system.. how about the C:\ drive for instance. A novice would ask "Why is it C:? Why not A?" To that you have to explain that it holds an archaic fall back to 80's floppy drives and hopefully you don't have to explain what a floppy drive itself is or why it is floppy. Innovative? Easy? On what plannet? But it gets better.. why would a modern operating system classify drives according to alphabetical charters, can you imagine a situation where there are more than 26 drives, partitions, usb sticks and cameras in a computer today? What if C:\My Documents\My Photos becomes full of photos? What then? Copy them all to D:\? Why is this core architecture of Windows stuck in the 80's? No other operating systems is. Mac's follow the Unix file system structure where storage is allocated to mount points, in this type of layout a user need not know what actual device they need to use to save files and and administrators can just allocate additional space where it is needed without changing the file system structure. /users/photos becomes /user/photos with more space... and don't even get me started on the Unix ZFS Filesystem, in that case you slap in a hard disk add it to the pool and space magically appears allocated by the volume manager.. along with all the other amazing features of ZFS that do not exist in Windows land.. but /sarcasm ZFS must not exist because we all know *only* Microsoft innovates with lots of great stuff like Internet Explorer and new and improved windows help to assist you with all the pirated/trial/shareware/ad ridden programs you use. :: roll eyes ::

One thing Microsoft is really good at though is advertising and convincing people who don't know very much about computers that they make good products.. for this A+

Lol, how easily Mac fanboys get upset over a small mistake is funny. I'll actually try to make a point this time. But aside from that small mistake, which I apologize for, you are the one coming up here saying Mac is better and you are not really making any real points except for personal preference arguments.
EDIT: And to be clear, I mean any arguments that are actually valid.

What you are arguing is all subjective points of view and no facts. From what I understand, take to mind I am no expert on the topic, is that Mac has a more "modern" OS with more streamlined functions and that's all that can be said about it. There's no "magic component(s)" that make it run better or anything of the sort. On the flip side Macs are made so that you have to buy upgrades through Apple unless you're very tech savy (and most people are not) which makes it an obsolite system as a whole. Non-Apple PC's are user friendly hardware wise and inexpensive compared to Mac and they get better parts sooner on the market than non-Apple PC's and they are typically more powerful than Macs from this fact alone, not to mention the fact that you have so much freedom to do whatever you want that they are chosen over Mac.

Modern OS > more affordable, powerful and customizable system as a whole? I think not. Oh and before you go on saying Mac is affordable, if I can find it later I'll link it here but there was someone who made a video proving how over priced Apple products are by going through and clicking all the extra options available to add on to a regular new model Mac lap top and it was over $10,000. I don't even have a big point behind that, just the fact that you can customize a $10,000 lap top that would become obsolite in 2 years.
