Apple unveils software to permit Windows use

[pezking]

I guess I'm still clueless to why people use Macs? Just like Linux, people always say Windows is a weak OS and have too many vulnerabilities. Well, yeah... when majority of the world is using it, majority of the world is also finding it's exploits. If Mac were king, people would bitch about it as well. Plus there's always people rooting for the underdog. Back in the day, 10+ years ago, it was Mac had better graphic apps. Windows apps blow it away now, so please fill me in on why Macs are so much better. Gates owns an almost majority share of Apple, I'm sure it's in his best interest to enable Windows on Macs now.

Another huge point to Macs... their users must love getting the major games a year or so after they've been out on Windows OS. I'm sure they're alot better too.

From our experience... Macs just *work*. Nowhere near the number of issues with spyware slowing the sytem to a crawl or dealing with worms / viruses. There is only one Windows application that I can't replace, which is why I need to be able to run Windows on the work laptop.

Plus, having a unix-like system under the hood is very powerful. Apple finally accomplished with OS X what the unix folks should've done years ago with X Windows.

Is it the best gaming platform? Not really. But for a non-power user, I readily steer people towards Apples if all they want to do is a bit of word processing and web browsing.
