Would you make the "switch"?

Published on May 24, 2005 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

There is an interesting discussion going on here Link about the "possibility" of Apple using Intel chips.

Now with technical reasons behind, if Apple were to announce today that OSX was available for PC's, would you make the "switch"?

Already chose to learn the Windows environment to the best of my ability.

I won't have a life if I try to learn another OS at any competent level.

The pricing for Windows might be better if there is competition though - (at least I hope so).

I might. I'm curious about this OS. So I might consider it out of curiosity if the pricing remains reasonable. $129 would be fine.

I have way too much time and money invested in Windows software to switch unless it was so compelling I just had to have it. And that is very unlikely. It's possible that I would I would run it as a second OS, though, if the price was right.

If Apple made OS X for PC's as well as Mac's it would probably put a big dent in the Windows market and put a dent in the Linux world as well.

Yeah, if only I can figure out how porn will help me with my OS.

What in the world are you talking about? Don't quote my replies in conjunction with porn. That subject discusts me. What have I ever done to you? And starkers is right. This is a family oriented site.

Sorry to go off topic Island Dog, but I had to defend myself from the lude and uncalled for comment made to me.

Thanks for linking to my article. I guess you know my answer. I would run both! (I have a 9.x Mac already, just never upgraded to an OSX Machine - Mine wont take it).

I would run all 3 (that includes Linux) because that basically what I do already!

Geez, chill. All I did was say the word porn, in a joking manner no less. That's hardly a dirty word. If the mere mention of the word offends you, you must live a very sheltered life.

And BTW, this is a PG-13 site, according to Brad Warrell, who is Mr. Stardock and Mr. WinCustomize himself. If you're looking for a kiddie site, this isn't it.
