    I have Windows XP and it's great. What OS do you have? What do you think about other OS's?

    EDIT: Feel free to tell me what more to add.

    You forgot Vista.


    I have Vista....It's a love hate thing.
    I love the graphical stuff, but hate the interface.
    If anything, this will be what drives me to a Mac.

    Vista. I like the OS very well but it is a tad buggy. Overall it is good

    You don't need to use the Mac mouse dude, nobody really uses it. All you gotta do is connect your bluetooth to the USB and there you go.

    If you're main concern is games, than windows is definitely the way to go. I always get pissed I can't play most games such as Halo 3 and can't use programs like GGC or BWCharts.

    At least Blizzard games, my favorite kind 8) are all compatible with Macs, so that's what matters.

    HE HE Yeah. I did that to my Dad's PC. He still uses XP and his video drover software can do the translucent wondows and I got one of theos Vista Themes for XP. You can't tell the difference at first glance

    It's not bad though I wouldn't recomend buying it if you are not good with computers or know someone who is. It is really inconsistent. On some computers it is twice as good at XP and on others is nearly unusable.

    As long as you are happy :)

    if I had a choice I would still choose a Mac. Even though it isn't suited for games very well, it is great for articles, work, graphic design, etc. The applications it has makes it really powerful (i.e. iMovie, iPhotos, iWork, etc.)and it also doesn't crash (often).

    With the brand new Mac that now supports PC-based games and costs less than the original, it is just irrefutable :D (4me)

    I disabled all the visual crap on vista, consumes to much RAM i do like the system security though, it certainly is a step up demanding user permision that i don't think coding can effect.... yet.
