I have noticed a lot of "Microsoft Hating" on this forum, but I then thought, is this site not made for Windows users emulating Mac? I just wanted to ask for one thing, am I right to assume everyone here runs Windows, and also whether people could shed some light/reasoning as to why Microsoft is so hated?

i clicked other because i use windows and linux and osx(only at work though).

a lot of people hate microsoft because it's cool to hate microsoft. i really don't care for them for many reasons other than that though, they rip off thier customers for thier software that they really stole in the begining anyway. Bill Gates has figured out that by not building windows to be perfectly stable and actually making it not as powerful as it actually could be he leaves room for improvements in later releases thus ensuring people will pay the extremely expensive prices to upgrade over and over again

a lot of people hate microsoft because it's cool to hate microsoft

You summed upmy mind too well there. It's kind of annoying, I don't mind people hating it, as long as there is some reasoning which a lot of people seem to lack.

Mainly the unstable OS. Hard to imagine the frustration while reading your degree and having your laptop crash 7 times in 2 years with all your valuable data gone. I'm glad I have my iPod for backup.

But now, I'm a happy Mac OS X user.

u must ask..

well they made windows 95,98,ME

thier interface is as prettty as mud on a fat pig

and i've enjoied working w/ NT about as much as being stabbed in the chest with a knife :mad:

but oh well XP is good for me and i just wish i could boot Mac from a seprate drive

Ahhh I wish we could too

Unfortunately Windows and Mac are made to run on different hardware architecture. Which means that to run OS X on a Windows machine, you would need a hardware emulator like PearPC.

I cant afford Mac OS X and PearPC and that would make OS X unstable wouldn't it ?

Windows 98SE, ME, XP, 2000, Longhorn

Mac OS X, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.4 Developer Preview

I looked at PearPC and trying the whole emulator thing but in the end I decided against it, it just all sounded too risky, I mean come on, this is me, person who was scared to install FlyAKite let along OSX ! haha I am sticking to my look-a-likey desktop for now unless I can get the real thing.
