Macs are damn expensive and not worth the price. What you should say is why not get ubuntu then. The new version comes out later tonight, so it's the perfect time to get it. It's free, can do anything other things can do and more, looks nice, is easy to use, it's free. Also very very stable and fast, which is great and refreshing.

I don't understand what you're saying here. Vista 32-bit obviously only has 32-bit support. Vista 64-bit can install 64-bit drivers. ALL software, doesn't matter if it is 32-bit or 64-bit, will work on Vista 64-bit.

I can't believe I'm actually posting a screen shot...

[32-bit software] Program Files (x86) Folder - 67GiB
[64-bit software] Program Files - 600MiB



So please, tell me how my Vista 64-bit operating system has a majority of 32-bit software on it if Vista 64-bit is entirely 64-bit? Like I said earlier, Vista has 64-bit support (you don't have to take advantage of it). You're right in that either you install 32-bit, or 64-bit. But I see no point in installing 32-bit at this time. Drivers have matured well for the 64-bit operating system, and all 32-bit software works on it, at least all 32-bit software I've installed.

That was true maybe four or five years ago but not nowadays. The iMac and MacBook are no more expensive than their non-Apple counterparts. In fact, a MacBook is cheaper than a comparably equipped ThinkPad R or T series, although one might prefer the ThinkPad's 14" screen to the MacBook's 13.3". The main disadvantage with Apple hardware, specifically in the desktop market (iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro), is that Macs come preassembled. Many consumers prefer to assemble their own PC for cost or performance reasons. Of course, this applies to any other PC distributor, not just Apple.

Now you're talking. Ubuntu is a very good intro to the world of free software and a perfectly capable (if not superior) substitute to the main proprietary OSes on the market (i.e. Windows and Mac OS X). It's no Arch or Slackware, but Ubuntu seems very good for the non CLI-oriented end-user.

I'm very happy with Ubuntu. And Wine mostly works like a charm. People happily play WoW in linux using wine. The only software I have issues with is Poser 7 under Wine. Amusingly, it still renders faster than on a comparable windows machine (even with the desktop effects turned on hehe).

The only thing I need to figure out is how to fix my midi so I can play powertabs. It's a good thing, too. My windows laptop, which I've had for around 5 years now, is about to croak.

Sorry, only just seen this

What I mean, is Ubuntu (in my opinion, anyway) is great for those who don't want to arse about with the initial configuration (while not necessarily that complex, most is fairly simple - but it can be time consuming)

What I love about Ubuntu (and Fedora to a certain extent) is that most things come pre-configured for immediate use

I love Debian, I do
but by god, a new Debian install needs a good 2 hours of fiddling about, post-install, to get it usable

I'm all for power and flexibility of standard Debian
and I don't think Ubuntu impinges on that
but I'm lazy enough to find the "blank slate" of a new Debian base install a bit tedious

Porn is the Lost of men and Lost is the porn of girls.
