I think the reason I prefer my mac to my PC is just Feel. The mac just Feels right, in the same way the Silo Feels right and Blender doesn't. Last time we went on holiday we hired a car, it was a Nissan Almera. It had power steering, electric windows, all the belsl and whistles,. got us from a to b, but it jsut dint Feel…
now a days, no web coder in their right mind would test anything but IE and firefox, as these two browsers have the largest differences with stylesheets to one another. Seems like that worked for Nintendo of Europe. Not even the scrollbars work in Opera because some idiot decided to use Javascript instead of CSS or iframes.
Rick thats how I feel about Windows compared to mac, it just feels right but its like art. You can say its good without reasoning yet if you say its rubbish or you don't like it, you have to explain your reasoning. If I say I like windows and don't like mac, I have to explain myself but if I say macs are awesome.. its cool.
OSX is a unix derivate just like linux, it offers the same kind of environment under the hood, more or less. it features the most bloated slow and resource-wasting desktop environment i've ever seen though. but hey, it's all brushed metal with animated lollipop colored buttons, can't be wrong, right? ... looks cool for…
A clean install of xp(that is KEPT CLEAN) is extremely stable. My work pc has been running for a month straight with NO PROBLEMS, and thats a month of maxed out usage, highres modeling, rendering high res ambocc maps, running buggy builds of our game, ect... Perfectly stable. On the other hand i have to restart my home…

Because stuff like the explorer crashing and recovering within a second or programs freezing in such a way that you have to kill…
jes, in a 3000 person XP environment, i can tell you we have about 1 user caused crash a day at most. We have two macs the only thing they use them for are photoshop boxes, and testing web site apps. I've managed to crash one once just trying to learn the interface :/ then again our xp installs are fairly restrictive. the…
Microsoft have had a Stable OS since Nt/2000. It's not perfect, but few things are. XP is a great operating system, and I've never really had any issue with it. I think the major advantage that Apple has with stability over microsoft is that firstly OSX is built in *nix, so thats a pretty damn solid base. Lets be brutally…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] And speaking as someone who does a ton of multimedia development, the ability to test multi-platform compatibility on the same box would just rock. [/ QUOTE ] Just install GNU/Linux (Ubuntu for example) on your x86 box. If something runs on Linux it is trivial to port it over to macs. And it…
