I never knew you very well. However it will not be the same without you here. I hope you beat the sickness. Get well soon.

Cool. I'll have to wait a year or so to get a PC running Windows 8 to make up a few opinions about 8 I guess. No worries!!

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="52" id="3447139"]Kona, Spencer said "vast" experience with 8. Now really, if it was so slow for you, and by your own admittance in these forums, you haven't used it very long, due to it's slowness, and your dislike of it, how could you have "vast" experience with it.[/quote] I repair computers almost every week with Windows 8. I know my way around Windows 8. I even know how to defeat the new BIOS those machines use to install 7. And just because

Some would venture to say Microsoft is just as evil. Recall back when they would buy out their competitors just to force IE on the masses?

[quote who="starkers" reply="39" id="3446583"]Thing is, as I've told you before, I use Win 8.1 exactly the same way as I did Win 7, only I have the added benefits of greater speed and stability which only Win 8 provides. Yes, I know your 10 y/o machine runs slower with Win 8, but that's because Win 8 was designed to best utilise hardware less than 5 years old... multi-threading, multi-core CPUs whose architecture was designed in conjunction with MS to extract the maximum speeds withou

Well it wasn't meant to be double talk. I meant after yo buy a Mac, you get upgrades for free. I just typed it out wrong. Sorry.

You are just splitting hairs as usual. You know I meant that upgrades are free AFTER you purchase a Mac. Perhaps I worded it wrong. Oh and for your info... https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2013/10/23OS-X-Mavericks-Available-Today-Free-from-the-Mac-App-Store.html Here's the part I like: “We want every Mac user to experience the latest featur

[quote who="Phoon" reply="25" id="3446272"]No it is NOT "free". It is bundled in to the cost of the system. You just don't see the broken out cost. You can't just go out and buy OS X and expect to install it on any PC either. As much as I love my Mac I'm not going to glorify Apple by misinforming others and telling them that the OS is absolutely FREE.[/quote] You completely misunderstood my post. Go back and read it again. I said when you buy a Mac, you get OSX. If you wan

[quote who="Phoon" reply="22" id="3446196"]So where is the price list for just OS X? How are you making this comparison without that? As for the "same hardware".. Sorry, not 100% accurate. My Macbook Pro Retina is unlike any hardware I've seen. It is sweet, slick and very appealing in all appearances. The processor may be intel and the memory may not be unique and the SSD hard drive may all be common items I suspect that the uniqueness expands from there.[/quote] Apple

Actually the OS itself isn't expensive. It's the price Apple charges for the same hardware that you find in Windows computers.
