Apple always has the newest cool toys. But, under the shiny, there is always something that I just can't get past. So, no Mac, no iTunes (shudder), no iPod for me.

I have found Dell computers to be very easy to work on, they are usually simple and fairly well made. The place I used to work had a lot of Dells.

Personally though, I prefer white-box or homemade computers. I like to know exactly what I am getting.

Vmware rocks.

There won't be a significant Linux manufacturer until there's some legitimate Linux third-party developers.

can't work or jobs won't let it work?

I believe there would be insurmountable problems in trying to mount a MAC OS within the Windows OS structure. But I'm not a coder.

how long is this fucking poll going to be talked about, eh?

not so much a hardware debate for me, but software is an easy one.

Windows > Mac OS

easy.

Jus bought a MacBook air and parallel 7 and windows 7 for it.

Anyone know of any issues running this set up?

Besides Windows?

I kid. I use both. I love the design of my macbook, but I use my PC more since I need it for work. I never really cared for parallels since it didn't have 64bit support when I tried, but I really like VMware Fusion.

I'm totally on Apple's dick.
