I think the main thing is, Unix makes Windows seem like a Mac. I like to play games. I considered buying a Mac a few years ago when Jobs promised more support for developers but it was just another empty promise.
Now that Mac's are pretty much PC's, PC's don't really support games so maybe it's time to buy a chess board. I wonder what OS those run under these days. I really, really hope it's not UNIX. Battle Chess was pretty fun but that was DOS.
Actually, Battle Chess was created originally for Amiga-OS.
