I find it interesting that the Apple cultists like to mention with every other breath how an OS that they hate soooo much can be run under VM on their hardware platform.

Even worse, Macs can boot up the disgusting Windows OS in native mode. But if one must run Windows, I'd recommend running it in the virtual environment. It's safer to run Windows that way, instead of on bare metal.

Why would I boot up Windows in native mode on an Apple? Just so I can spend more money for the pleasure? No mac-boys that I know of run Windows natively, they all use VMware Fusion or Parallels.

Guys like you are funny.

I have been running a PC, first DOS then WIN since 1992. In that time, I have contracted one virus (back in 1994). That caused me to reinstall DOS 6.22 because it infected the command file.

I haven’t had a virus since, and I don’t run a virus scanner.

But then again, I like knowing how computers work, so “it just works” doesn’t fly with me that well. I’m of the old school that believes that if someone doesn’t know what’s going on under the hood, they have no business at the keyboard. I know that this is an impossibility now that computers have integrated themselves into everything and has redefined communication as we know it, but still.

I like my PC, and I can do everything THAT I WANT TO DO on it. for me, and I’m sure like others like me, there is zero reason to convert to a Mac system.

Besides that, I can’t get past their Mac release advertisements back in the mid-1980’s:

“A computer... for the REST of us!”

No thanks.
