plix is right, efthimios. The thing with the hardware is because they want to make macs as stable as they can be. The thing with the one-button mouse is just stupid. My Apple Mouse has five buttons, and you can use any USB keyboard and mouse you want with your mac.
IF that m$ stuff is bothering you, fine. I can write ms windows, too.
By the way, there is a Mac version of OpenOffice.
since there is no point in discussing this with someone as -sorry to say- prejudiced as you are, This will be my last post concerning macs.
If you want to see some other people talking about windows, just take a look at page 3/4 of the Windows Vista thread.
I am not prejudiced against Macs. there are very specific reasons that I do not like them. I did not wake up one morning and said I do not like macs. I had several times the chance of getting one, going back in 1985 the first, and I didn't then, I don't know, for very specific, not CrAzY reasons. I am not prejudiced against them.

I am also not supporting Windows. I have said in the past that for me the best OS would be one that would fit in a ROM like the old TOS days, and everything you wanted in programs you had to get them elsewhere. I am defending Windows though from uncalled attacked and assumptions that MS is all for the money while Apple is the savior of the human race. (you get my point).

I agree this is enough.

I wanna get Linux. I don't like Mac because I think the lay out is horrible. And I just don't like the keyboard for some reason. I wanna get Linux.

i use windows XP and windows 98 for games, because xp has a bit dumb setting or what that it minimizes the game and outputs something about stinky keys or somethin' like that. annoying if playing anything where u need speed and reaction.

I once had win 98 and win 2000 running.

Then, I tried XP, and seing that I could play win95 games on it, i got rid of win2000 and win98.

now I have XinXP Pro and Kubuntu (good Linux distrib )
And DosBox, and Microsft virtual PC to emulate win98 (but rarly usefull tanks to winXP compatibilty mode)

anyway Kubuntu and winXp rules the world ! :whistle:

I could not vote because there is no option for Dual Boot!

Anyway, I have these OS in my computer:-

Ubuntu 5.04i
Windows XP SP2
Windows 98SE
and yes, DOS do exists as I can take it to DOS from Windows 98 by pressing F8 at the time of booting.... :bleh:
