Too bad all you PC gamers are marooned in Windows Vista, if you game on a console you can choose your OS.

What? You can't choose your OS on a console (except PS3 which can boot up various Linux OSs) and no console can run Windows or Mac OS X. PC gamers aren't stuck with Vista, they can have XP, 2000, 98, heck why not 95. All you Mac owners and Nintendo owners have is one OS with updates.

1. Most PC owners probably haven't upgraded to Vista yet.

2. Name one console where you can LEGALLY change the OS on.

I'm not trying to say that consoles can run three OS's. I'm trying to say that if you game on a console then you can have a computer that runs any OS you want. You don't have to use your computer for gaming, therefore, you don't have to use Windows.

No one uses MAC OS,cause it doesn't support many Graphic cards,and its OS doesnt have something called "Alt+crtl+Delete",Plus the mouse only has one button... WTF! You go to XP if you want. Plus Vista is compatible with XP games,but you have to have like 1 gig of ram to run games that uses 512mb. -.-... Its a double Edge sword.

logic is flawed. If a very large sum of pc gamers decide to use Mac OS, than games will be made for the Mac OS. The only reason why Windows is the only one supported is because it's the biggest one, but once windows dies that doesn't mean PC gaming won't live on.

I do use Vista regularly, in a cage on my MacBook Pro. It is an unfortunate OS. If I had to live knowing that was inevitably my future operating system, I probably would have died a little inside.

EA is in the process of moving their dev platform to Apple's machines. Epic loves anything computer- and that means Apple is included. Watch interviews with Epic.

No it's not an argument for or against Macs my point is nobody cares what OS you use so don't try to force it on us. This whole thread is talking about how people should give up windows/Linux to get Macs and my point is We don't care if you use a mac and that we have the mental capacity to decide what OS we want to use. On a side note should this even be in system wars. Macs are a type of PC and so therefore this is not an argument between two systems. It would make sense if it was in the PC thread but then it would have been butchered by the hermits so instead it was posted here.

The link is saying at the start that PCusers(other then Macs because Macs are a type of PC) hate it when Mac users constantly bug them to give up other OS and go buy a Mac. Then you start talking about how gaming companies are moving to Macs. I will assume this is true but the point still remains that Mac users become annoying with the way they preach Macs on forums. That is actualy how I got the link when on a different forum this guy started telling people how they should get Macs and throw out there other PCs. It seemed like it fit into thisargument as well.

less games though. and thus makes if a distant option for a pc gamer doesn't it?

also most of your reasons are subjective and just not true for all users.

Subjective, I use Vista at home, MAc OS X in College ... I find it pretty much the same in user friendlness, its slower (Naturally due to hardware though)

No Viruses? Viruses are useless anyway, none of them you get pose a threat... Ive had viruses and adware for years not once has it effected me, free software deals with it anyway.

Dock and Expose is different to putting stuff on the desktop how really? .. I got the same thing with the windows tray or better yet sidebar >>

Mac is overrated. I own a Macbook and while I think the hardware is outstanding. The actual OS is nothing special, I'm still trying to find out what makes it better than Windows XP.

Well, Leopard comes out on the 26th. Vista copied the old Mac OS, so we'll see what new features Apple will include this time. Tiger is better than XP for the reasons I just mentioned in my previous post.

I guess you could, but that would be really expensive to have a gaming PC and a mac (which is pretty costly by itself).

Console gamers would only have to buy the Mac.

Dock and Expose is different to putting stuff on the desktop how really? .. I got the same thing with the windows tray or better yet sidebar >>

... last point is very very subjective, I dislike it alot.

On worse hardware, Mac OS X runs faster on my Mac than XP does on my PC. Expose is great. I can flick through my open windows much faster than I can using the taskbar. Though Microsoft, through Vista, did attempt to copy it, naturally.
