That Mac thread!

[Jadi]

Buying a Mac is a poor choice in investment. Being a gamer, I'd imagine if you want to have a large library of games, you'd do the research and realize that some devices have more games (both in quantity and quality) than other devices. I want to play games on my mobile devices, Apples App Store is more fleshed out for gaming apps on mobile devices than the Droid market is. So I'd get an iPad / iPhone / etc. Makes sense. I can see Mac doesn't have a large selection of games in terms of computer gaming, so I wouldn't make an expensive purchase that wouldn't fit my hobby of playing video games. Doesn't seem the work arounds seem to be enough for people, so why bother getting a Mac ? It seems the most logical choice both stress free and worry free about having easier access to the things you love; particularly gaming. Next time you make a new computer purchase, just reflect heavily on the pros and cons of owning a Mac, and if you're leaning more towards gaming, just get a PC and spare yourself the anguish of expecting developers to create a client for Mac. It's a hard pill to swallow I'm sure, but it is what it is.

That's fine if people used computers for just one thing but they don't. Your argument is exactly the same for consoles so if you want to game buy a console not a Windows PC it's cheaper and has a larger library. but.. lol if you want to actually do work on a computer get any computer OTHER than a Windows PC, as it's a more stress free environment.

See if this image works, I think it fits here really well.

OSX is stressful to me because it's a s**tty OS with s**tty window management and s**tty error reporting and lack of support for some tools that I need.

If they'd let me put Linux or Windows on my macbook, I would be very happy.

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.

No native support for .rar files (Unrarx is the best 3rd party program and it blows)
Monumentally bad window management
Programs not closing when you X out of a window and forcing you to alt + q or whatever
Alt + q quitting without confirmation and being right next to Alt + tab (brilliant design choice by Apple)
Rainbow wheel of death and masked error messages (who the hell knows why your program crashed?)

The only thing I feel OSX does very well is touchpad and mouse gestures. Everything else is dumb and leaves me scratching my head.

Sorry, I mean command + q/tab.
