First of all! I like macs, beacuse there faster and the FACT that you hardly have to worry about getting a virus or a hidden trojan horse! Sure macs may not have very good compatibiltiy, but thats why they have the virtual pc software, so that you can use lousy WINDOWS programs on your mac! (iT'S not like we want Windows programs anyway!)

I can't believe that you said that macs don't have good compatablitity!!!!

That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. With my Mac I can mount almost any volume that I run across. Windows disks mount fine, linux disks mount fine, mac disks mount fine.

I can run windows programs, linux programs, most any operating system that I want to via Virtual PC. I can recompile alot of programs to run natively on the processors. It works with a ton of hardware too!

Can your windows box mount Mac HFS drives without additiona tools? No
Can your windows box run linux apps without rebooting into linux? No
Does your windows box have the standard set of commandline GNU tools? No
Can you choose what windowmanger to run easily on windows (xFree86?) No
Can you run Mac OS in a window (at a decent speed?)? No


Wow, it seems instead that windows boxes are lacking for compatability.
