QUOTE(illriginal @ Jun 2 2009, 11:16 AM)  Other than multimedia software and a good window manager (mac gets my props on that), what exactly does Mac OSX for example have over Linux? I know that Mac and Linux are on two different platforms. But between specs / cost efficiency and productivity... I think Linux takes the win. And I've been using Linux since 2001. Seriosuly? For the average person linux is awful! That is what they have yet to complete! Making a user friendly distro. What happens when someone wants to add use a printer? No one but you wants to spend 3 hours getting a printer to work. And if linux is almost just like mac os 1o then just be happy macs run linux?! I repeat, mac basically is linux, but its user friendly and has the same software support that pc's have! And its secure so its the best of both worlds! Also, for any mac owner, has your mac ever frozen? Or anything similar, like hwen it is under heavy stress does it hesitate to open a menu? |

I just restarted and it was fine again. There have been times where my macbook was slower than normal. I'm not sure what caused it, but after I sent it in for AppleCare, it hasn't caused me a problem since so it's all good. For the record, I sent it in because there were cracks on the interior. |
