So I can use OS X. :P For me windows is getting lame and Linux is a pain to install anything so I've always liked OS X so I installed it. I'm going to install Bootcamp to run XP on it so I can have my windows programs. Any ways Mac just works, there’s hardly any errors and its fast (well on my comp it is). But this is just to hold me off until I get enough money to buy a Mac. Mac Pro :drool:

bootcamp is a bootloader for the mac that lets you start other operating systems -- you're on a pc, you already have a bootloader that can start multiple operating systems.

True, but it is good software and they are doing things that would be impossible for Windows to do. Except for Vista, they have some things like OS X.

Yea I seen that but your apps will run slower. I found a program that will also work and it's free called Darwine.
