Urza9814 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I personally have a deep hatred of all things mac...I would never buy one... I had to use one at CompUSA once...it said they had a few of this camera I wanted in stock, but the guy had never seen it before so I had to look it up...in the time it took me to do that I started feeling dizzy and sick for some reason...I mean, I've hated macs as long as I can remember, but that was just... Also, I got a friend with a mac...it didn't even come with a word processor...he has to go to his grandparents whenever he needs to type something...

tyme Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 ............dear lord, not an O/S with no word processor! I mean, there's no version of openoffice for mac or anything! Â Mac doesn't make their own word processor...what do you expect? Seriously...those are some of the worst reasons I've heard for hating an O/S. You used it for like five minutes! How the heck can you get a feel for an O/S in five minutes?? And if you -really- hate the Aqua look, get the X11 extensions and install GNOME or KDE or even fluxbox!

zero0w Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 > its a microkernel so technically superior to linux as an OS.... Â I think there are enough flame wars on this subject. Â Truth be told, I think the (open style) development process will also decide how the actual implementation will become. Plus, kernel modules have taken some advantage of Micro-Kernel to Monolithic Kernel. Â I am also very curious why Apple does not commit resources to make a OS X native port of OpenOffice.org happening. That way Mac will become truly independent platform and compete better against Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG a technical reason !!!!! yep the kernel/microkernel debate is as old as CISC/RISC  can I put a IMVHO .. in front of that.  agreed on modules but they still interface directly with the kernel so can cause a crash But OpenOffice ........  incredible your 100% right ....

bvc Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 there is Word for Mac. BUT, the same format probs exist between it and win as oo and win with .doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way Mac will become truly independent platform and compete better against Windows. because word is word....everything else is not. :D When there's enough interest and desire for such a thing to justify the devel$, they will, but they will not port....it'll be their own, which will be better ;) Edited June 3, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps when I try QNX and other micro-kernel OSes...  The open source way of development however will demand bug fixed quickly for serious problem such as crash.  > because word is word....everything else is not. When there's enough interest > and desire for such a thing to justify the devel$, they will, but they will not > port....it'll be their own, which will be better  I think Jobs is not interested to take on Microsoft, yet. But if OS X and G5 continue their "adventure" in the enterprise XServe product line.... never say never I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiocool Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 As far as MACs being user friendly, they aren't. They just plain suck. Look nice, but plain suck. Linux takes a little learning, but don't suck like Macs. I think if Macs had a right click, they would be good, but they dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 not having a right click really isn't that big of a deal... Â before people start tearing up macs, the real question is: have you ever used one on a regular basis? i don't mean <= OS9, we're talking OS X...the one based on BSD...yeah that one...

youngmug Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Um, Mac OS X supports two-button mice. Plug a two-button USB mouse into a newer Mac running OS X and see for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
