We're also running Vista on the server machine, which doesn't see much day-to-day use from us users, and with that I've been very satisfied. It has never crashed and, as you said, requires reboots only for updates.

It was the visual quality of the iMac, especially the new Al one that really sold me. That and the aluminum keyboard is pretty trick too. A couple PC makers (Sony & Gateway) have tried to develop a similar solution, but they don't match the performance of the iMac and still lack the elegance of the Apple design. And I am certainly no fanboy of apple. I am one of the few that god forbid thinks the iPod has flaws. Cherny - Yeah. Apple for some reason, even with an Intel-based chip, can't seem to manage decent game performance. I don't get it. But, I haven't played a computer game since college so it didn't weigh heavily into my decision. |

Chicken and egg scenario. Because it's historically not a game system, no one is spending much time, money, effort to develop for it, even if the system architecture might be catching up/have caught up to PC.

Well that's the odd thing. Now that you can run Windows on a Mac, you can run PC games. But they don't perform well. And the system architecture is actually stronger for less money than comparable all-in-one pc systems nowadays.

I too am a gamer and have no use for a Mac. In addition, I absolutely despise the way Macs handle mice/cursor acceleration. Yes, I know it can be adjusted, but no amount of tinkering has ever helped. But what I really hate about Macs are Macolytes. The religious-like fervor too many Mac users display makes me want to gag! |

Mac design, in my view, just looks like it is trying to hard to be hip. |

Welcome to the dark side, I've been a Macaddict for life, never use a PC unless I'm at my in-laws house.

Having worked with Macs, Windows, several flavors of Linux, AIX, Solaris, and several Unix implementations...whatever. They all suck.

My experience is:
If you don't know how to use the system, they all suck. Once you are adept with a certain system, then all the others suck. Perfection was abandoned when they moved away from punch cards. |
