C’mon mac versus pc wars don’t even make sense if you really know what you’re doing.
BSOD (OSX) is great for certain important things. .NET is amazing for certain things. Linux is critical for certain things, traditional UNIX is too, and same for Spark and SunOS, oh even good ‘ol OS/2 Warp.....If you truly know what you are doing you would use a mix of the above or all of them to make a perfect system, depending on the function (in what I define perfect is a machine capable of doing anything at all asked of it, period).
I have a killer gaming/video/audio PC hand built that would knock most people’s socks off. I also have a Macbook Air (it runs Win7 and OSX) and an Iphone 4, I also have 3 linux partitions (Each different distros according to funtion). I have a few OSX and Win Server virtual machines. Each does one thing to complement them all.
Hey individual...
I seriously don’t want to meet you in a dark alley.
I mean you’re trimming microseconds off intra/inter device protocols. I was proud to do nested calculations...on a slide rule.
That’s pretty much what I do. I also have an Air, and my main desktop is dual-boot...Debian used 95% of the time...Win 7 used solely for iRacing.
I also have a Win 7 VM, and a Solaris VM as well (don’t really use it, though).
I think the real questions about the Windows tablet are: will people adapt to the funky interface, and will app vendors support it well?
Windows 8 is another story. I don’t think Metro is going to succeed on the desktop. Microsoft will have to give in and offer the “classic” Windows 7 interface as an option.
