Oh how I laughed.

If my computer becomes more reliable, and faster as a product of installing this I shall eat my hat.

/Discuss.

Dude, many people would have been upgrading from WindowsME.

Me included. :/

 

[WotDa]

On the serious side, I never had any stability issues with XP.

I've had more bad than good experiences with it, but it's 100% better than Vista was when I 'upgraded' last year.

Incidentally I've had 2 IE crashes so far tonight.

 

[WotDa]

If its so bad, don't install it

Boom!

Anyone know if you can run Windows in Mac via bootcamp drive?

Parallels can use your Bootcamp partition, yes.

 

[WotDa]

Yea All good taking the Michael but who’s using the OS?

Wahey, another one.

I'm sorry, but just **** off. I use Windows a lot more than OS X, and gives me the right to say what the **** I want. OK? Good!

 

[WotDa]

Oh and dont reply to this crying like a 7yr old "I can install windows if i want" because you will then sound more childish

I'll reply how I want.

Then why install windows if Mac OSX is so must faster,more stable, allows high productivity etc?

Several reasons;
1) To see how Parallels handles my normal Windows tasks.
2) To see if I can cope using Parallels instead of my PC.
3) To see if I can buy a Mac Pro if the above two reasons come back fine.
4) To cover up Transgaming's crap coding.
5) Applications for work.

Oh and we see the real side, what’s with the language? What about my right to say what I want?
This thread is like a big bucket of bait tbh, I have a G4 Mac that runs Leopard so I ant not fanboy.

You shall need to forgive my language, I was rather annoyed that when I post in the Windows forums I get flamed to hell, and then you two lovely chaps walked in.

Maybe it is a bucket o bait, I didn't intend for it to be a bucket o bait though, was just a bit of light humor. :/

Thats all i wanted to know, makes sense having 1 machine for 2 OS's, but these "Normal Windows Tasks" why cant Mac OSX run them?

It can for the most part, but using a laptop as a desktop isn't really the best use of it.

 

[WotDa]

No problem Just the way the your post read to me that’s all, I don’t usually post replies like I did but just seemed like blatant bait

 

[WotDa]

What’s it like running XP under Parallels? I’ve never read up on this as I have my main PC and just use my G4 Mac cube once in a blue moon so havent the need to install it etc, is just like VM Ware under windows? I can imagine it runs slow though?

Not as I expected.

Turns out you can only whack 64Mb of your graphics card memory down for it, so that basically kills the whole idea for me.

Quick question, isnt it possible to get Mac OSX on a PC now they are both the same chips?

Look at the Xbench results thread.

 

[WotDa]

I usually switch my machine off each night, so my longest run time is about 12 hours. No crashes for as long as I can remember...certainly not ones requiring a reboot.

OS X or Windows?

I ran XP for over 24 hours last week and it was fine.

 

[WotDa]

What a pointless thread.

Even by your standards.

Meh, this is high quality for me.

How would Office 2007 cope?

That's all I want it for.

It'll be fine for that tbh.

 

[WotDa]

Otherwise, just stick with Office 2008, got the Student Edition and it's much much better since 2004's, still takes a good few second on the splash screen but it works speedily when ready.

It's not like the splash screen of 2008 burns your eyes, either.

Too right, Microsoft making a better product for their competitor!

Shame Apple don't do the same back.
