how can u compare a fruit to a software ???
heh just joking.

Apple is a competitor against linux !
thats why the are trying to lure *nix users to mac

IMO, no. Apple's targeting Windows users because they have a reason to switch ;) .

I deliberately waited before posting anything on this as I am a Mac user that made just that switch. Using both Mac and Linux off of doz, I agree with apache363 :)

What version of Windows did you use before?
Is there anything you miss?

I assume you prefer OS X and Linux to Windows.

It was win ME, and yeah I far prefer OS X/Linux Red Hat :) There is nothing I miss at all, well except the challenge of IRC script kiddies, but that got old... ;)

Which does Windows software run best on: Wine and VMWare on Linux or Virtual PC on Mac?

witeshark 05-10-2004 06:28 PM
I think it would be about the same... but this is from what I hear cause I have tried neither having decided to be totally M$ free (yea dad! no more M$ text files! I can't read them!) But either case needs the most speed enhancing hardware -- especially VPC on Mac

Don't know. The only Windows app I miss is Shareaza, which has the fastest BitTorrent times of them all (had one sustained at 2.4Mbits/sec!!!!!!! The Mepis 10 cd when it first came out - had it in 20 minutes! Burned and ready to go on the other machine). Its programmed in MSs proprietary MFC and the GUI is integrated with the client, so there's little chance it'll be workable under Wine soon. everything else I use works better than that other stuff.

Never tried a new Apple. OS8.6 seemed okay on my mom's powermac, but I didn't play long. if anyone wants to send me a free G5, I won't likely refuse. :D

It depends on what app u want to run !

apache363 05-11-2004 08:14 PM
I'm sorry for confusing you all. By my Windows-emulation software question, I meant IN GENERAL, OVERALL, etc.

vinay_s_s 05-12-2004 01:33 AM
use all of them, wine for office at native speeds, WineX for games, vmware/win4lin for some apps that dont run in wine

I intensely dislike WMP. What about iTunes?
