well put… I’d like if Apple released their OS to the PC comsumer market, so they could see in -a real world test- just how well their product really handles compared to.. well anything else (Linux,Vista,Unix,XP/Pro/Server).

I’d like take an iMac with an Intel dual core and OS X -vs- the same chip with the same OS on any other config and see how well they can render or compute in a real world environment.

Really, spend a day on a mac? Any day or just a day when I’m not working?

Spending a day at work on a mac is easy, it’s also usually one of the more unforgiving / painful days I have. Nothing like having Maya lockup while rendering, having FCP take a dive rendering and exporting and wanting to throw the system out a window after wasting hours working on a project.

I’m sure if I spent a day on a mac using iphoto and taking 4 color shots of myself pretending to be Warhol I’d have a simple day, but then again I’d have a simple day on a PC variant as well.

People get bothered because garbage marketing like this pops up, Apple fans get in a huff about the TSA but anyone with half a brain knows that you don’t show up as your plane is boarding with electronics on you hoping for a quick pass through and if you do, you better be ready to miss a flight.

I’m not claiming either system is actually better in that working environment either, I’ve had both systems die quite easily and it’s not fun. Thinking one would be flawless though is amusing to say the least.

Your statements are amusing though, the G5 was a good processor, stepping down to x86 was cheap though on their part. The Macbook overkills? In what and better yet, in what configurations? I could say the same about many things, I could say a workstation 16 core system stomps the life out of the Mac Pro, but the configuration makes the difference and lends or remove credibility from your statement. Given the streamlining of OSX installs anyone with a bit of investment can run OSX as well so it’s no biggie there, remember, Jobs is the one keeping OSX out of the PC marketplace, why? Who knows, maybe he doesn’t like the idea of competition despite claims of superiority.

It’d be easy enough to not have to bring up dislike or even some users hate, but when you have cheap viral marketing shoved around it’s easy to be annoyed when Apple moved to Intel and essentially had their partners produce PC’s in Apple cases and the world around praised it as innovation. Sorry, the mac pro isn’t a regular consumer pc, it’s a workstation board running xeon chips, far from your regular consumer config.

Seriously>? I spend a day on a Mac, hated it.

Tried one of these things at the Apple stor; got it to freeze… freaked the hell outta the “tech experts” who work there.

I just started laughing. True story
