This guys just cant accept facts. Fact: Photoshop CS5 Runs faster in Mac OS Fact: Windows does not have Aperture for video editing Fact: Halo's best music was all made in a Mac (Halo 1's, Halo 2's. All of Halo's songs actually) Fact: Mac Os is NOT a suitable gaming platform. Although lots of Game Publishers are now releasing their games for Mac as well, EA for example.

Fact: Keynote kicks Powerpoint's ass. Mac also has M$ office;) Fact: If you are on budget, do not buy a Mac. /quote CS4 out-performs CS5 on some features if you are running 64bit kernel. Aperture is photo editing and management software. Nothing about the OS is wrong.

Step 14: MAC’s Lovechild is the finishing touch! There you have it, your smokey eyes how-to with a halo eye twist. I love this look with blue eyes, dark hair, and fair skin, but I think it’ll complement any coloring. It’s dark and smokey shadow but not so dark that it’s overwhelming. During the Microsoft press conference at the 2011 E3 Expo, it was revealed that Halo: Combat Evolved would be remade by 343 Industries with an in-house game engine and would include achievements, Terminals, and Skulls. It was released for the Xbox 360 on November 15, 2011. Dude, I think Halo CE was released for windows about 4 years ago. Macsoft is never going to port it for us. I think they discontinued Halo for mac also. They probably weren't selling very many copies of it anymore anyway.

The drivers for OpenGL are not the best. That can be explained by these articles: quoteOn Windows, it's a fact that the DirectX graphics drivers are better maintained than the OpenGL graphics drivers. This is caused by the vicious cycle of vendor support. As game developers are driven from OpenGL to DirectX by other factors, the graphics card manufacturers (vendors) get less bug reports for their OpenGL drivers, extensions and documentation. This results in shakier OpenGL drivers, leading even more game developers to switch from OpenGL to DirectX. The cycle repeats. Similarly, it's a fact that more gaming graphics programmers know how to use DirectX than OpenGL, so it's cheaper (less training required) to make a game using DirectX than OpenGL.

This is the result of another vicious cycle: as more game projects use DirectX, more programmers have to learn how to use it. As more programmers learn to use it, it becomes cheaper for game projects to use DirectX than to use OpenGL./quote - The UI you talk about as 'superior' is because it based around a document that gives developers a very good explanation of how the visual appearance of something effects how we create the usage metaphor for it as well. Colour reproduction is only as good as your monitor is calibrated. After spending the last week making a library for converting between different image compression formats I know a thing or two about how color in images is derived and I would appreciate an explanation as to how one set of code could possibly create a completely different set of colour values than another for parsing for the same data.

The only way I can see this happening is if someone screwed up the parsing code by a lot. I would like to think that does not happen on a commercial software product on such a large scale as an OS. Anti-virus is a null point. It is a fact that your average windows box is less secure than your average unix box. Now before someone decides to jump down my throat about this, I need you all to consider what 'average' means.

This means to add up the total savvyness of every person that has a windows computer in their homes and then divides that by the total number of people. This WILL put the level of know-how down very far from the level of people that frequent this board because lets face it, you all are not grandma. Second thing is that the person that will have a unix box in their house is going to be pretty savvy about what they do for security.

You don't buy little timmy a unix box for his 5th birthday now do you. You don't expect him to type up his 6th grade homework in emacs/vi now do you.

You cannot accurately compare two systems with different environments of security focus. Furthermore, since I don't believe that anti-virus does anything effective, you are only as safe from viruses as you want to let yourself be.

I know a number of people that don't use anti-virus on windows and they are just fine because they don't do stupid things. Same applies with OSX, sure 99% might not ever get a virus, does not mean it is any less likely if they do stupid things. PS, I wrote malicious code for OSX for a few years. Yes it can be done, yes it is hard to do effectively, yes I do know what I am talking about on this subject. Hi, I am dirk, I have been using OSX for the past 11 years, and I have been using Mac OS for 9 before that.

Some people work best on windows, other work best on linux, others work best on OSX. It is ultimately about what environment you best perform in to product the best product you can, not about ego or self-image. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Photoshop CS5 Runs faster in Mac OS /quote Fact: It runs faster on $700-800 PCs then it does on $1000 macs.

quote Fact: Windows does not have Aperture for video editing /quote Fact: Windows has more video editing software then Mac does. Windows has CS5 and Sony Vegas, which is PC only. quote Fact: Halo's best music was all made in a Mac (Halo 1's, Halo 2's. All of Halo's songs actually) /quote Fact: The software he uses works on a PC too.

Plus, in an interview, he said he wished his software upgraded easier. Another reason macs are bad: They fail at upgrading. See PowerPC macs for example. quote Fact: Mac Os is NOT a suitable gaming platform.

Although lots of Game Publishers are now releasing their games for Mac as well, EA for example. /quote Which I agree with. And all the Mac Games currently are cheap ports. quote Fact: Keynote kicks Powerpoint's ass. Mac also has M$ office;) /quote Fact: Nobody in the real world uses keynote.

Mac office also is overpriced, and has compatability issues with PC office. quote Fact: If you are on budget, do not buy a Mac.

/quote Fact: If you are or aren't on a budget, do not buy a mac. You can get a high end PC for cheaper then a mac is. And if you are afraid of viruses, just install linux. Mac Pros are a ripoff too, you could get a Dell or HP workstation for less. And they can't accept PC gpus either, so you can't swap in a normal FireGL.

And let's not forget that macs use standard PC components all the time. So you pay more just so Steve Jobs can get a private jet. Edited on 8:53 AM PST. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Photoshop CS5 Runs faster in Mac OS/quote Fact: On a halfway-decent PC, the performance compared to a Mac is non-existent. For example, the Macs at my girlfriend's school cost about $1000 each according to the tech in the room. Photoshop performs better on my $800 computer than those $1000 Macs.

quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Windows does not have Aperture for video editing/quote Fact: There are plenty of other (and better) video editing options available for Windows. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Halo's best music was all made in a Mac (Halo 1's, Halo 2's. All of Halo's songs actually)/quote Fact: The software used by Martin O'Donnell to compose the soundtrack to the Halo series runs on Windows.

On a comparatively-specced PC, the performance for this software is the same while maintaining a significantly smaller price point. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Mac Os is NOT a suitable gaming platform. Although lots of Game Publishers are now releasing their games for Mac as well, EA for example./quote Agreed here. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: Keynote kicks Powerpoint's ass.

Mac also has M$ office;)/quote Fact: Powerpoint is the industry standard for creating presentations in a workplace environment, and MS Office is price $100 higher for a version that runs on Mac OS without Windows emulation or dual-booting. quotebPosted by:/b Musashi 360 2 Fact: If you are on budget, do not buy a Mac. /quote Fact: If you can afford a Mac, you can afford a PC that blows it out of the water for the same price provided you know how to shop and can build it yourself.

As for my reasons for choosing PC, I'll keep it simple: I wanna play any computer game I want instead of a handful, I want access to a much larger base of useful software that doesn't get developed for Macs unless third parties are involved (Xfire?), my DAW of choice is Windows-only (FL Studio), I'd like to be able to upgrade my computer with stuff that's not proprietary and overpriced, and if I buy new, I can get more out of a PC than I can out of a Mac despite spending just as much. I can't see how anyone would actually think that the increased price somehow brings about better performance in the same components (because it REALLY doesn't, the same hardware in a Mac isn't somehow magically better), and how an environment that virus coders don't care about is a good trade-off for software compatibility. quotebPosted by:/b PufTheMgicDingo Lol, so much PC fanboyism it hurts.

Gamewise, yes. Work-wise, depends on your job;) Linux is better for servers Windows is better for games and making them as well (much easier and better tools for their creation) Mac is better for design, music, art. Oh and browsing the web safely;) The only drawback is thier price. Cause you say a pc will outperform a mac any-day. I have run photoshop CS5 on a 2.4 ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 2 DDR3 RAM. And to my surprise it launched and performed better than my friend's 3.06 ghz Core 2 Quad PC with 8 GB DDR3 RAM.

It also launched the OS faster;) (not the same os) And don't ask me why, it just did.;) So, as I said above, it depends on what you wish to do on the computer to make a choice.

That's wrong. I'm sorry CJ, but halo is native OSX. And obviously he was talking about the mac release, seeing as it is a mac forum.

Is it that the game won't run at all (for example the icon in the dock bounces once and then closes) or can you get the game to run, but really badly? What point can you reach in the game? Do you get to the graphics selection box preloader?

(a ui box that comes up before the game runs) do you get to the intro movies (a series of quicktime movies for the developers logos)? Do you get to the menu screen of the view of the ringworld? Can you actually play the game? Also, what machine are you trying to play it on: we need model, cpu, ram, graphics card and OS version, for example mine is Power Mac G5 dual 1.8ghz, 1gb ram, radeon 9600 128mb, running OSX 10.4.2 (all this can be found under 'about this mac' in the apple menu) EDIT: sorry damrod, din't see you there.
