    Here's a question: Why do you defend Linux like it's your unborn child? My god you practically had a brain hemmorhage last time:

    "Linux sucks"

    "FFS OMG U NUB WTH I R GUNNA KILL U U F***ING NUB WTH FFS OMG DIE DIE DIE OMG DIE YOU STUPID *** DIE I H8 U111!1!!1!!!1!!!!1oneoneoen1!!N1!Eeobne" <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I hardly had a brain hemorage. I was mearly pointing out that people were praising monse because he dug up dirt on something they don't like. Very few people here have had anything to say in regard to the articles linked to, in fact, many of them had little to say in regard to OSX and insisted on bashing linux for no good reason, or giving props to Windows.

    Why do I defend linux? Because I like it and I'd rather not have people spewing misinformation about it.

    Um... WTH? OSX is possibly the easiest to use GUI I've ever used, have any examples of how there is no 'short' way to do anything? Or how it is 'the most complex OS ever'? And did you know, you can plug just about any USB mouse on the planet into a Mac (doesn't even need to be OSX) and all the buttons will work? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Let's see... hard to use OS with no secondary button as Venmoch said. I'm using it in school and it's terribly and unnessecarily[SP?] hard to use. The thing crashes 24/7. It's hard to upgrade. Nothing's supported on the OS. And it's totally ug-d00ts.

    The mouse bit was addressed in my last post.

    I really don't get why people keep saying MacOSX is hard to use, especially since not one of them can give an example. Guess what, when you use a different OS then the one your used to, things are going to be different. So if 'it doesn't work exactly like Windows' is your argument against its ease of use, don't even bother posting.

    I've heard of people complaining about OSX crashing constantly, but i've never heard it outside this forum. It may be happening constantly for you, though that would make me suspect some mischief is being done.

    Its hard to upgrade? In what way? Do you mean that iMacs are hard (actually, pretty imposible) to upgrade, or that the towers that open to give easy access to the PCI slots are hard to upgrade?

    Nothing is supported? What, you mean like Windows apps? Does Windows support OSX apps? What do you mean by this?

    And again with the ugly....

    Yeah, but Windows is straight forward when I got my first computer.

    I don't know, I never tried it. Maybe I should have posted I heard from others.

    What OSX Apps would you want to run on Window anyway? And it's not a gamer's choice for Gaming.

    Sooo... how is OSX not straight forward?

    Well yeah, it doesn't have the market share of Windows, so less game companies are going to bother porting games to it. But some do port, UT2k3 for instance. If bungie hadn't been bought by MS, Macs would have had Halo long before it was released for the Xbox. My point is that you can't fault an OS because it doesn't have as much 3rd party support... well you can I guess, it just doesn't make alot of sense, I mean, how are they to get more 3rd party support if no one is willing to use their OS because of a lack of 3rd party support?

    Come to think of it, Talesin was having lots of crashing problems with school computers as well...
