Windows 7 on a Mac? whats the point...

Photoshop? OS X does it better, but I'm not at that level where it makes a difference.

That's completely backwards. For some reason Adobe started off making their name on Apple stuff but now their products are much more efficient on Windows.

Anything you can't do on a Mac ... a list that is getting smaller and smaller as time goes on.

One thing I use Windows for, believe it or not, is to synchronise my BlackBerry. Have never been able to do it successfully with Pocket Mac or Missing Sync...

Ok maybe its just me, but why on earth would someone pay as much as they do for an apple macbook/imac just to load Windows on to thier system? I understand that windows 7 is supposed to be the saving grace OS for microsoft but serioulsy is it better than OS X?

Two parts here.

1. Why would someone buy a mac and only run windows, well cause they can, they have the money, and style/design mean a lot to them. Show ponies. The same question goes to people who buy PCs, Xbox etc etc and run linux, heck they want to.

I have a mate who has an AIR, loves it, but runs windows 95% of the time due to Business appz. His honest and says he loves the design/size. Same reason people pay more for Ipods...style!, and have never used Itunes to manage thier music.

2. Is Windows 7 better then OS X, leave this one alone, it will just start a silly flame war. At least wait till windows 7 makes it out of Beta. In the end both OS have their benefits/cons. A lot of us need both.

That was pretty much the only plus point for Mac. Now you're giving me even more reason to stick on Windows.

Anyway I just ordered CS4 Web Premium for Windows today for a mere US$70 (Mac version wasn't offered). I think the only time that I'd be using OS X is when I'm required to use Mac-only software.
