The Windows Forum

Ladies and gentlemen, i just got windows xp from a friend, so i will be testing it out, taking snapshots, and telling you about it here. Its just installing right now .

I will say the pros and cons which i notice about windows. But keep this in mind: MAC IS ALWAYS BETTER! no matter what i mention thats good, there will be something even better on mac. Like this. FACT: there are more games and programs for windows than on mac.
FACT: the games and programs that actually matter are for mac!

I've used XP before...*shudder* But by being a mac bigot ("But keep this in mind: MAC IS ALWAYS BETTER! no matter what i mention thats good, there will be something even better on mac"), all you're doing is showing your ignorance. I LOVE apple. But there are some things that Microsoft is good at, as much as I hate them. Not everything they do is the work of the devil. OS X is by FAR the superior OS, but let's be fair. Why do an "objective study" at both OS's if you already know you're just gonna declare the mac better?

Why bother? Many of us already use or have used XP. Either we know how it works already, or probably most of us don't care or want to know.

So, you're saying that games like Battlefield: 1942 and Counterstrike just don't even matter, when both have thousands of users online at any given moment? How do you know that the special software a certain company needs doesn't matter, if it only runs for Windows?

I mean, I can see where you may like Mac better than Windows (which means why the hell are you installing it?), but saying that only the software on Mac matters, while possibly true in some areas, is generalizing and cuts out a great deal of users.
