Asking someone to pirate windows for you is not nice

I use Vista Ultimate on my desktop computer at home, XP on my laptop at home and Vista Business at work.

I heart Vista

Re: What operating system do you use?

If you want to run Windows on a mac, which program is best? How well does bootcamp work?
Also, are the specs for the cheapest macbook pro good enough to run both OS's?

The cheapest macbook right now can run both os. Boot Camp lets you partition the hard drive to install windows, and you choose what system to boot up in. I would suggest having at least a 250 GB hard drive before using boot camp though.

No, it will just limit the amount of hard drive space that you will have. I wouldn't use an emulator if I were you. If I was running Mac OS, I would probably install XP in boot camp. If your going to be playing games and using boot camp, get a bigger hard drive.

Just wondering, how tech savy are you? Would you say that you could change and set up a new OS install on a computer?

Re: What operating system do you use?

In work, my O/S is Windows XP w/t SP3. Its a pretty good O/S, no serious problems with it at all.

At home, i am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bt w/t SP1. It's a good O/S, ok it has its faults but if you look past them its a good O/S

Windows XP

I don't think I want Vista from what I hear about it.

Re: What operating system do you use?

The problem for me with emulators is playing games.
Mac's GFX card hasn't been updated to be compatible correctly with them, therefore you just get a black or messed up screen.
Apparently, my uncle can get it to work, but he doesn't have the most current model of iMac that I use.

Then google "OS x86." Its psuedo legal software, letting you put mac os on a pc with a x86 architecture processor. I just saved you a 1000 dollars.

I was looking to get one of those too. But I think I'll just get a laptop or a desktop and hack it and put Mac OS X on it.

Yeah. Apple falsely advertises their 13 inchers as having 'millions of colors', despite having 6-bit color depth monitors or better known as 'thousands of colors'.

They're in a lawsuit over that little fact right now, aren't they?

I love Mac OS. I hate apple's price gouging and their inability to make a product that is within the average consumer's price range.
