Would you make the "switch"?

May 24, 2005 10:56:45 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
There is an interesting discussion going on here Link about the "possibility" of Apple using Intel chips.

Now with technical reasons behind, if Apple were to announce today that OSX was available for PC's, would you make the "switch"?

Already chose to learn the Windows environment to the best of my ability.

I won't have a life if I try to learn another OS at any competent level.

The pricing for Windows might be better if there is competition though - (at least I hope so).

I might. I'm curious about this OS. So I might consider it out of curiosity if the pricing remains reasonable. $129 would be fine.

I have way too much time and money invested in Windows software to switch unless it was so compelling I just had to have it. And that is very unlikely. It's possible that I would I would run it as a second OS, though, if the price was right.

If Apple made OS X for PC's as well as Mac's it would probably put a big dent in the Windows market and put a dent in the Linux world as well.

What in the world are you talking about? Don't quote my replies in conjunction with porn. That subject discusts me. What have I ever done to you? And starkers is right. This is a family oriented site.

Sorry to go off topic Island Dog, but I had to defend myself from the lude and uncalled for comment made to me.

Thanks for linking to my article. I guess you know my answer. I would run both! (I have a 9.x Mac already, just never upgraded to an OSX Machine - Mine wont take it).

Geez, chill. All I did was say the word porn, in a joking manner no less. That's hardly a dirty word. If the mere mention of the word offends you, you must live a very sheltered life.

And BTW, this is a PG-13 site, according to Brad Warrell, who is Mr. Stardock and Mr. WinCustomize himself. If you're looking for a kiddie site, this isn't it.

What does sheltered have to do with decent. I live a decent life. I am far from sheltered.

I think the better way to have phrased that was "relax, it was a joke..."

I disagree, but that's okay.

The joke was directed at myself anyway, so I'm not sure why anyone would get bent out of shape over it. I think some people just look for stuff to be offended by. It must suck to go through life with that attitude.

(I hope I didn't offend anyone by using the word suck.)

As long as you don't throw in 'Troll' I got no complaint.

FYI - I understood it.

To go with the topic - I don't know - never used any other OS. It would have to be cheap enough to be considered a throw away in case I didn't like it.

Hm, I would definitely dual-boot for a while, and not knowing how easy dual-booting is..

Can't be that difficult though. So, yeah, I'd at least try it for a while..

In my case, Yeah, if only I can figure out how porn will help me with my OS.

For the sake of a little clarity....

I read it the right way the first time.  There's certainly no reason to have this 'issue' turning up all over the forums.

I think people should step back a little and smell the roses...

Thanks, Jafo. I wouldn't think further clarification would be necessary, considering I used the words I, me and my (no less than three times referencing myself), but if your further explanation helps, I'm all for it.
