Jealous?

Emulating windows of any flavor has gotta be slow on a mac. That wouldn't make a mac better, IMO. Can you run directx games like that? If you could, I bet it would be slow as dirt.

I like my Windows 2000 because it hasn't crashed on me once, because I know how to take care of my PC.

win2k is very nice, 5 weeks uptime is very easily done.

"I like my two-button mouse, it lets me right click for more options"

Macs do have a right click...it's called a control-click.

You can't run DirectX or use your graphics card on the PC, it's not meant for that. I really think that most users, like me, only want it to check compatability.

I knew about the control click, but who the hell wants to click on the keyboard and then the mouse, when I can just right click. Laying back, watching TV or something, all I need to do is right-click if I need to do something quickly, jeez what a pain in the ass to use the KB for a right click. :p :D

Oh, and my laptop, 233mhz 96mb of ram, has been up for 12 weeks 2 days 2 hours 11 minutes and 18 seconds, granted I do everything on my desktop PC.

Any computer will run for 12 weeks if you never touch it... Dummy.

It's runing mIRC, aim, apache, etc. 24/7 as well as IE every once and awhile. And not every OS will run for 12 weeks straight, 98 won't, eventually the memory will "clog" up and slow down tremendously. Atleast that was from my experience.

XP slows down tremendously too. Sure it doesn't crash and reboot itself every time a program has a problem, but it sure as hell get slower and slower. I would just assume it DID reboot itself when a program crashed. That way I don't have to deal with a uber slow computer 2 days later and reboot it myself anyway. 2000 was the same way. Stupid computers.

2000 has been nothing but god-like to me. I've rarely ever had to reboot and it's rarely ever crashed on me. Maybe it's just me, who knows.

Like I said, it never actually "crashed" but it should have. Stupid windows.

That is the best "switch" story I've read. It's long as ****, but really good. Zen-like I would say. Or "everything Zen" Gavin Rossdale of Bush would say.

Maybe I'll read that at school tomorrow, but I don't feel like reading it now. All I can say, 2000 never slowed down for me either. Maybe I am one of the lucky people who has never had any problems, or I am one of the smart people who learn to take care of his Windows so it doesn't create problems. Either way, I'm happy, and I think I might be done replying to this thread unless I read something that really irritates me, or I strongly disagree with.
