With the IMac and the Mini I think they are more for the average user than ever. I would say that Linux has come a long way in the last couple of years, and who knows give it a few more and maybe we will start seeing it on more PC's.Owenhttp://www.thelinuxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750510757516964633.post-50438810173271620632008-01-26T23:55:00.000Z2008-01-26T23:55:00.000ZYeah I totally agree with your comment. Windows are better in some respects (price). But there still are hundreds of problems which you have to contend with.James Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14804924947642336790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750510757516964633.post-74295209807739088262008-01-26T23:05:00.000Z2008-01-26T23:05:00.000ZYou know something, there's more than just windows-only games that don't run on a mac, there are applications too (like 3ds max, Maya, Cinema 4D...). A lot of people don't really have the money to get a $1500+ computer, and you can't really say Linux is an option for the average user. Linux has even less compatibility with applications than Mac OS X. Now with that virus thing you're talking about - I've had this PC for about 5 years, no virus problems whatsoever with XP.<BR/><BR/>Just to clear up, I love the way macs look and feel (right now, I'm using Windowblinds 6 to make my PC look like leopard), but I'd say macs aren't much of an option for the average user.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
