i thought the mac ran everything flawlessly!! Pwned!! Oddly enough the gaming aspect of the mac is the last step they need to get right for me to jump on the bandwagon.
I have not tried the game im still on WoW.. thats my only time killer.. I read lots about this game and always wanted to try it.. but i held back..

You can boot into a windows install and run windows just like PC, it's no different if your precious windows install on a pc will run it, you can run it with bootcamp it's no different. Do you really not know that the intel macs can run windows just like a PC, actually better? You can also play some windows games in parallels, however I don't have windows installed on amy's mac, furthermore it said it was mac supported so I assumed they actually made it to run on the mac, not ported... i was wrong. I havent had any issues with it on my macbook pro. So i wouldn't really say owned.... as i said before if you feel so passionate about windoze you can just boot into a windows install when you want to play a game. Personally I am not going to install windows on amy's mac just to play one stupid game, hardly worth it.

actually i take that back i forgot they upgraded the internet even though the county has a massive budget shortfall, also new radios and phones.
I love the way govt is so determined to put computers with internet access in every classroom from Kindergarten on up. I think the goal is to eventually lock the kids in a room full of computers and let them "learn". Kinda takes the pressure off the teachers. Now they've got grade school kids toting Apple laptops. Gimme a break. I think that money could be better spent.

Yea reminds me of that tv program they had a few years back, they buy each classroom a tv, but they had mandatory commercials each day.

microsoft stole apple's gaming revolution and made millions from it. Research the little known game "Halo" it was going to be MAC exclusive, MS bought the company making the game out of nowhere and used it to launch xbox into the world its in now.
Apple has focused on gaming, apple was the original gaming system in the computer world, they throw up some attempts but have realized their core users have developed a non-gaming tendency over time.
I honestly dont play many games on the computer anymore, i used to but the experience online and with windows could get scary, havin you computer relatively wide-open back in the day. I prefer playing a video game console, much better, more social as well.
