Proabably one of the newer models designed to run Vista and take advantage of DX10.


you really are an apple lover arent you? don't worry, I'm the only one judging...Just because they don't suit your needs doesn't mean they suck. Apple puts out a damn good machine, and the fact that OSX (which is no longer the OS Apple computers are restricted to, as I've said before) doesn't run the applications you think make a good computer doesn't mean it's a piece of ****.

I'd even go so far as to say that many Apple computers could outperform the one you're typing on right now.

Just dual-boot with Win32 GRUB. Partition, install a distro and don't install a bootloader. Install Win32 GRUB and configure it. Bam, easy dual-boot without any complaints from Windows.

I believe that PC Gamer did a test a few months ago w/ 2 computers (1 PC and 1 Mac G5...I think it was G5), and even with Windows installed, it couldn't play all the games that they tried out...still some compatibility issues...PC worked great though...hmm that's interesting...

There is many stuff out there that has ports for both, Windows and Linux. See the GIMP. And you can like run a whole bunch of Windows Apps without an actual Windows installation in Linux with WINE, even Internet Explorer and WMP. And games of course.

And since WINE runs on both, PC and Mac, why would you see a point in arguing them about PC vs. Mac? And why do you go and argue about PC and Mac, when this was about Windows, Linux, and running Windows programs under Linux?
