I will put my dual os pc up against anything apple sells. Running either os. Windows 7 or Suse.

A "DUAL OS PC"! WOW! I am ROFLMAO! You think your DUAL OS Windows PC is the cat's pajamas. . . and you're bragging about it! It cannot hold a candle to a Mac in running multiple OSes.

My Mac runs OS X.10 Yosemite and its underlying trademarked UNIX™ Operating System, as well as three different fully functional versions of Windows — XP, 7, and 8.1, and two versions of LINUX as virtual machines under Parallels Desktop.

I have run ALL of those simultaneously in Sandboxes just to demonstrate I could do it. EnduserIndy, That is SEVEN OSes running simultaneously, not booting separately, on ONE computer. Care to try and top that with your two OS PC?

I also have a version of MS-DOS 3.31 handy in case i need it, as well as Amiga-OS, THEOS, and several other OS that I can run in virtual Sandboxes under OS X. I keep these on my computer so that when a client calls I can invoke them along with the client's software and talk them through something if I need to.

Multiple reviews have stated that the best Windows PC is an Apple Mac running Windows. . . either natively or virtualized under OS X.

In 1986, I had a full hardware Macintosh emulator (the Magic Sac with replaced Mac ROMs) and MS-DOS (in an 8088 software emulator called “Virtual PC”) on my Atari-ST. I used my college's MS-DOS Turbo Pascal on my faster-than-Apple 68000 TOS system (8.0 MHz vs. 7.1 MHz clock speed) that summer.

I like Apple (and we use iPhones), but really, you need to put this into the context of reality. Apple computers are nice, but are not evidence of “superior” knowledge of capability.

And this website you link to is simply idiotic.

That's a pretty funny post. It's almost as if you are taking criticism of Apple personally. Are you?

I mentioned dual is in support of windows7. If we are going to count virtual machines I have every version of windows too. My point is apple hardware is always behind pc’s. I stand by that and anyone not caught up in cute marketing knows this. It is why apple never reached the heights IBM and Microsoft did. Its obvious you, just like apple, liberals and communists don’t like facts, dissent or competition. Your mac is only better than my PC at overpriced coffee shops. Apple is as good as Linux except the proprietary bs I mentioned before. Your hardware doesn’t compare in value, choices or performance. The success apple pc’s finally got was due soley to the addition of some PC hardware.
