Maybe a better question for the thread is: "Is this even news?"

Who cares?

Also, before anybody gets on my case about why im on this forum in the first place. Since this IS an Apple tech forum. I love the iPhone. Its a great phone. Is it the best? Right now it is (Im man enough to admit it). But any intelligent person can see that Android is the future. You have all these different manufacturers getting together on ONE universal platform. You know something great is going to happen. I for one am not a fan of Apple's approval methods for the AppStore. Anyways im going off topic. I didn't mean to turn this into a flame war. Im a gadget freak and if I had enough money to throw around on stupid toys, id probably buy a Mac just to have one and play around with it. But I cant justify spending $1600 on a laptop when I have a perfectly good computer that does everything I want it to do without having to boot into another OS.

If you haven't used it then how can you judge it? Its like me saying Snow Leopard blows because I hated Tiger.

A real OS? Sorry but the market share speaks for itself. Isn't Windows as a whole up around the 80% mark? With OSX below 15%? I bet Linux isn't far behind

The world runs on it and I fear that no matter how many Im a Mac and Im a PC ads run, thats never going to change. Apple is going to have to wake up and start offering their Operating System to everyone. Maybe then well see Microsoft advertising how Windows "plays nice" with others and can run MacOSX too. Also, enjoy your games. lol

This pissed me off and disappointed me...see, I was gonna give you a thanks for a relatively mature post (not many of those on this site recently) then your last five words completely and utterly ruined it; now you've been put in the playroom with all the other children here. Not everyone plays games, genius...
That said, I've been playing L4D2, CSS, COD4 and Team Fortress 2 on my Macbook Pro beautifully for the past few weeks. I'll be doing some Modern Warfare 2 next week. I may get Borderlands as well.

Also, enjoy your games. lol

I bloody well do.

People who buy macs JUST to run windows on bootcamp are complete idiots

Why target piraters? its so simple 0$ for pirating and (X)000$ (X states for a number, i had to explain this because kids would cry trying to understand this) quadruple digit for buying a mac

Yeah... After Crapsta (Win Vista), there has never been a better time to switch. I don't care if Win7 is the best thing since toilet paper, I'm switching to a Mac. I have never been so frustrated, disappointed, and insulted over a piece of computer software in my life.

People pirate Microsoft software because it isnt worth paying for (I am not endorsing pirating).

Next stop - Mac'ville

I guess nobody considered that Microsoft sold a lot copies online with their download link through Digital River and Apple might be capitalizing on it.

I love all the Windows haters. I run Vista on my desktop and never had a problem. Put Windows 7 beta on my laptop, never had a problem. I know some of you yell from the mountain tops at how great macs are. Why, as some have stated, would I spend so much more money for a platform when I can spend literally over half as much and get a computer that does the same thing? So I can say I own a Mac? No thanks.
