I'd like to try Linux but I'm a gamer and that requires Windows. So I'm out of luck.[b said:Quote[/b] (xscd @ April 27 2006,9:54)]Mac --> Great!

Bingo. That's why I use dual boot and just partition my drives. Gotta have my games.[b said:Quote[/b] (xscd @ April 27 2006,8:50)]Yeah, that's a good point.
I'm not a gamer myself (except for the online game Travian), but many Linux users' biggest complaint is that all the good games are for Windows.
Because of that, a lot of Linux users dual-boot. They install Windows on a second hard disk or partition and most of the time they boot into Linux, but into Windows if they are in a gaming mood.
Many wish that the game manufacturers would make a version for Linux, but that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.
I guarantee you that directx10 will seriously embarrass anything OS X could ever dream of. Thats the only thing I want from Windows Vista and when I get it, it's on.[b said:Quote[/b] (Alvin Meister @ April 28 2006,3:24)]OS X really does embarrass XP. Just then I was wondering how to spell 'embarrass' - if I was at work I would just get dashboad up with one click and type it in the dictionary widget.
Windows Vista (when it finally appears) looks like a rip-off of X from its screenshots to me

The PC always beats consoles in graphics in the long run because of nVidia and ATI battleing it out for top performance. Nothing that challenges the Xbox 360 comes out until ATI's R600 and nVidia's G80 later in the year. What are your specs?
