Nothing against Microsoft or Apple, but I personally use Linux myself. Gentoo as the distro.

I'm somewhat surprised at the number of Apple users here though.

I love Snow Leopard. It is awesome. I own a MBP.

ohiit · 10-26-2009, 09:09 AM

Linux is also not bad. I using Ubuntu and Fedora for my work purpose. Mac OS X for photo editing, video editing and storing tons of pics, videos, pdf and documents. I use OS X at home.

How do we know if our computer contains Snow Leopard or plain Leopard? What are the versions? I didn't upgrade it to 10.5 until I bought the 10.6.

you can partition your hard drive for windows on a mac. i let my windows copy have 32 gigs of my hard drive, and i can play games just fine.

lol I guess my joke's an epic fail for you. It's referring to Office Space movie. They created a computer virus where it would steal 0.0001 cent per transaction and deposit it in other account so that the thief can withdraw it from any ATM. You know there are at least 1,000,000 transactions thru banks per day so do the math and guess how much you would get if you steal 0.0001 cent per transaction in one day.

KA CHING!

Wow, you are so smart.

No one know about partition HDD.

OSX is better and allow you to change any size of partition without loss the data but Windows will lost the data if change the partition. That's stupid!

Nice. You use Windows Vista's software or thirdparty software? I don't bother to try on Vista before.
