re: Mac "jackasses" [sic]

re: << Look you Mac jackasses, .... >

My, such hatred and vitriol! It never ceases to amaze me how
much some of the most rabid Windoze fanbois (yes, YOU,
George) despise those Mac users. Please explain why you have
such hatred for them.

I know that some of them-- sometimes-- can be a little
annoying with their smugness, etc. But have you ever
considered that they are mostly being defensive. The reason
they are defensive is that they consider the Mac OS to be vastly
superior to any Windoze version and yet that fact is not
recognized by the general computer-buying public (both
corporate and consumer.) The reasons for this include a highly
effective marketing strategy by MS, a lack of that from Apple,
corporate commodity buying habits, and many more. Ah, but I
digress...

Yet, even given the above-- is that a cause for such bitterness?
Gee, maybe it's Windoze that has made you bitter...

Ditto Windows Jackass

I was thinking about pointing out that you could see pretty much
the same silliness on a six-month-old Mac, but you'd have to
get the owner to reset it to its defaults. My mother - she'll be 90
in July - saw all that genie-effect stuff and the rotating cubes
and things and asked me if I couldn't make it go away ...
PLEASE???

There's been a lot of restraint in Windows upgrades these past
few years. Which is too bad because I understand the newer stuff
is worth the pain and cost of the upgrade. Much less of the
traditional BSoD and such. If there weren't a gazillion script
kiddies all looking for ways to zombie your systems for a DoS
attack on Fox News or to flood the nation with more spam, we
Mac types wouldn't have much to feel smug about these days.

Can't Wait it looks great!!!

There are so many new and neat features that I cant wait to get my hands on and check them out.

It really is a big step forward, just a shame that it has taken this long. Cheers and congrats on a great feature set.

Gaming?

I noticed the article made a big deal about DX 10 and how great it would be for gaming but I've heard no mention of anyone actually trying to play a game on this power hog. With all those resources being consumed by the OS will EQ II be playable at all?

Perhaps

But Crytek (maker of Crysis) have been around for quite a few years and just signed a partnership with EA Games (one of Microsoft Game Studios biggest competitors). I get the feeling you people are just looking for a conspiracy theory where there is none.
