I want one of those pathetic mac yuppies to come over and tell me how my system is any worse then his mac and how it does so much more things so much better then me :)

It aint hypocracy... they've been allowing Windows to run on Macs for years. Now it runs natively.

Though I personally feel that Windows on a Mac is like allowing a retarded kid drive a Lambo. I guess a lot of people love retarded kids. ;)

So the anti-Apple trolls wouldnt have a hardtime bashing the Mac here is a side by side comparison between an Acer & an Apple.

Hey look, apple decided start crawling out of the proverbial betamax hole they dug for themselves

Too bad it isn't going to increase the intelligence of their core user base :)

I guess it's true. Terrorists tend to preffer Windows while all the US Presidents preffer Macs & iPods.

:lol:

So long as they oppose the will of Bush they are. ;)

Apple already released OS X that works with x86. I've been toying around with it a few months ago.

I guess if you consider 'stolen then illegally shared" to be the same as 'released', then yeah, they have released it

Actually years ago now. Ever since OS X 10.0 all of their OS were complied in both PPC and x86 platforms.

Just like a lot of Windows users. ;)

Indeed Apple computers are overpriced. Nevermind it's a pound lighter. Nevermind it isnt an Acer. Nevermind it has a better industrial design. Nevermind it's physically smaller. Nevermind it's 1" thick. Nevermind it can triple boot into OS X, Linux & Windows. Nevermind it has award winning bundled software that can edit video, make DVDs, mix audio & edit & manage photos that makes owning a Mac worth it. Nevermind better build quality. Nevermind it gets bundled with a free dev kit. Nevermind it has FrontRow. Nevermind it has an IR remote. Nevermind it has a magnetic powerplug that would help prevent your laptop from falling in case someone walks into the power cord. Nevermind it has back lit keyboards. Nevermind it has Bluetooth 2.0+

For the same MacBook Pro specs you can get a Gateway for $1454.99-1625. So feel free to save $400-600 on a great computer that still has the same problems as a computer as far back as 1995. It probably still has parallel & serial ports too and the ever essential PS/2. ;)

The whole points of Macs is the Operating System.

So if you dont like anything Apple can offer then go on to dell.com & buy the $499 laptop. It's big, heavy, smelly and a great bargain.
