0 Starman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 How do you figure anyone NEEDS OS X? or a mac period. when was the last time you bought or downloaded a piece of software only to find out that "dang, this only runs on MACS, i guess i NEED a mac!"all i'm saying is that MAC user's are very limited as to what software they can run and what the can do with their machines. Sorry, but if you want to argue that point, you are a complete fool. Sorry, but you're an ass, and you're wrong. Every single anti-Mac statement made all over the net since this emulator came out sounds like propoganda from the mid-90's. Mac users are NOT limited by anything except games. That's it. A few years ago it was real bad, but since the UNIX apps have been ported, there's been an EXPLOSION of Mac software out on the market. You don't seem to understand what a brilliant idea it was for Apple to adopt UNIX, do you? I'd like to see you pull iDVD, iMovie, and all the other cool Apple apps out of your ass for Windows. Why are you even here in this thread? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Is networking dead? I saw in the config file that it said something like "Doesn't work on Windows" but I want to be sure. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pilsbury Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Networking only works on Linux. OS X doesn't really stay up long enough to take advantage of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine you have iDVD, iMovie and alot of other iStuff, but frankly I am not impressed by much of those apps. We on Windows also have PowerDVD, Winamp, Picasa, Premiere... etc, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kwyjibo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 500 times slower......I'll pass. If you use the JITC version, it is only 40x slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I never said there were NO apps for Windows. Duh. Where are the FREE apps that come with Windows that hold a candle to Apple's iApps? You have PowerDVD. Costs money. We have a built-in DVD player. You have WinAmp. Why even use it if you have iTunes? Premiere? You have to pay for that, too. etc etc etc As for everything ELSE, we have just as many cool apps now as Windows does. I challenge you to find something different. But we don't have spyware :D Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to rung OS X Server with this and actually have it work. I'm sure they'll get it working at some point. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media Player (DVD's and Mp3's, CD's etc.) Premiere... well, we have Paint *cough* ..but what is reaaaaally ****ing me off is the fact that Microsoft get taken to court for being a monolopy in the software market by bundling apps.. and Apple can get away with it. Does that seem right? One rule for all, thats what I say. And besides I happen to think it's bloody BS in the first place.. it's legitimate business ethics.. Microsoft created their OS.. they have every god given right to put whatever software they own into it... damn str8!!!

0 volrathxp Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 seems so... i can't even boot off my 10.2 cd images, i keep getting that DiskArbStart() error, and i've tried a couple things people have mentioned in here (using isobuster, alcohol, etc.) I've even tried that gemulator explorer and it doesn't pick up my DVD drive. :blink: :blink: But darwin works perfectly!
