I find it disgusting how many people continue to sip the apple kool aid. Windows 7 is a great os and can't wait to get my hands on windows 8.

The thing apple has over Microsoft is the minimal security issues due to the fact that the market share for mac os x is still relatively small compared to windows.

It is amazing. I just don't want to switch over to Windows 8. I tried the beta, and it was so annoying.

The UI looks like it would be very nice for a tablet. For a desktop, It just feels clunky and....I dunno. It feels like they tried to hard to do what Apple does; which is look fancy.

I like my Windows OS because it is capable. Not because it looks good.

Like dude above me said, they should focus more on SECURITY, instead of trying to make fashion statement for hipsters.

I have a feeling I am going to turn off metro on the desktop and just go classic. See the thing is that Microsoft's vision is simple...have ONE OS that works everywhere for the most part. i have heard negativity about the desktop clunky, but Microsoft might view that as the most unimportant version of the Os...growth is everywhere else.

I don't know how it works on the desktop, but I tried it on the Samsung Slate when I at NAB show, and it was pretty nice on a tablet. I could see it penetrating that market more than the Android tablets have been able to.

It also made Internet Explorer usable, so :yeshrug:

You mean if you install Windows on a Mac or you mean in general? Mac gaming has gotten a lot better but I think there are still a lot of games that are being made for Windows and not Mac.

Just in general.. but you're right, I just checked to see if MP3 was on MAC and it wasn't. Though I think they have apps and workarounds to make most games function on a mac. But really, its not like it is difficult to boot into windows on a mac. All you do is hit 1 button while its starting up. Thats the thing about macs, they're so easy to do shyt like that. I know its pretty easy to dual boot on a PC as well but it is definitely more complicated and more of a hassle.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a MacBook Pro this time around but ended up settling on an HP Envy 15 because of price. I couldn't justify an extra grand with the specs I was getting on the Envy 15. But I can't knock someone that has an Apple and you're right, booting to Windows should be np if you want to play Windows-only games.

I don't like it. I feel that they should have left the tablet style interface as an option. You know how Windows lets you down dumb Aero and stuff. Have a tablet option there.
