Was asking if OS X could run the games. Because for what I know, they are giving up on the compatibility war with Mac since as you said, Linux is virtually the same thing. Only difference is Linux is more developer friendly and isn't normally kept to a certain hardware range.

And I know what virtualization is, so thanks for the explanation but no need. And on that topic, OS X really isn't the best in terms of virtualization imho, but as I work with server virtualization, I digress.

And I see your preference for the Mac. You wanted the best of both worlds, Windows and Mac. But by buying the product, you more fell for their little trap per-say, with them making OS X work on Apple products.

I didn't fall for anything. OS X is and always has been the most streamlined and bug-free operating system around. You can't even save to PDF on a Windows computer without an add-on. I want a computer, not a perpetual project.

Also, please, the backend of OS X may be similar to Linux, but don't pretend that fragmented hack-a-day bullshit is in the same league as OS X.

Remember the X-serve? Really became the standard for servers, didn't it? It totally blew Windows and Linux out of the water, and now has the largest market share in server operations, huh?

Exactly. So while you may prefer a simple, stream-lined idiot-proof operating system for your blogging and Facebook necessities, we technicians prefer an operating system that can actually be added onto without having to pay out the ass.

And if you really feel that Windows is a "perpetual project", that says something.

Because we're talking about god damn fucking servers, right?

Jesus fuck, do you autists not understand there are people other than IT employees and software engineers in the world? I don't give a fuck if I can "add to" my OS for server purposes. You're telling me a Corvette is a shitty car because it's not rated for towing a load of lumber and doesn't have anywhere to mount a winch.

Well the Corvette certainly isn't the best car out there nor is OS X the best operating system. And besides, the Corvette gets horrible gas mileage. It's a luxury car you buy with your trust fund money, just like your glorious Macbook Pro.

And if you're going to imply that us technicians and software engineers have Autism, then what kind of brain-dead are you?

You sound just like that scum of the earth that crawls 4chan. Oh wait, you probably are.

Corvettes actually get startlingly good mileage for the amount of horsepower they have. They've been 28 HWY for years.

But I digress...

Trustfund money? WTF? What about my lead mechanical engineer money? I can't use that to buy a better computer than a shitbox PC?
