Bitten by the Mac bug! - Page 4

I'm at work currently building a Mac-in-dell using a Dell D620 laptop. It's a shame that's not a build specificially for a Toshiba laptop or else I'd have called it a Mac-in-tosh which I think is quite a natty name.

Question to the OSX fanboys in this thread:

If OSX is so fantastic, why cant you buy it?

@Feek - Make sure you've got the integrated Intel graphics, and not the Quadro NVS add-on if you're going to do that.

@DRZ - because Apple only support their own hardware, not the eleventy million combinations of arcane and confusing hardware that Windows supposedly has to work with (and all-too-often doesn't). In short, OS X is good for Macs.

PS - I don't qualify as a fanboy. Horses for courses.

Good that you can concentrate on how pretty your pop-ups are when you don't have to worry about it working or not.

Eh? It's in the store to buy right now. Or am I missing your point?

Should have known that someone would misinterpret what I meant knowing full well what I meant

I've still got no idea what you're talking about

Yet the BSD its based on is compatible with huge swathes of architectures and hardware.
