[quote name='YodaEXE']I gotta be honest, what possible reason could you have to run OSX? My sister and an old roommate of mine both used it, and anytime either of them want to do half the stuff I routinely do (like play most games
) they have to boot into Windows. Seems to me you could remove and step there and just use Windows. I've yet to see any software that's Mac only that gives me any real reason to want to use it.
EDIT: Also, for the record, I'd like to state I have nothing against Macs and Mac users. It's your choice. I just see no reason to use a Mac. Steve Jobs on the other hand, I'd love to see him go dunk his head in a vat of acid, the pretentious jerkoff.[/QUOTE]
I have a hackintosh, too. It's the best of both worlds. I can play games on Windows and do real work in OS X. I have my reasons for not wanting to use Windows but the most prominent among them is the fact that I *never* have to worry about viruses when using OS X. I know how to be safe using Windows but I'd prefer not to have to think about it.
I also greatly prefer the way OS X handles windows and the uniformity of the UI throughout my most used applications. The way text is handled, for example, is much better. Mouse acceleration, also much better. Expose is a boon to modern windowing. The list of niceties in OS X goes on and on. I'm much more productive using OS X. Anyway, I don't want to get into a flamewar about this. Hackintoshes are awesome, not least for the sheer sense of accomplishment.
For the record, I'm running a Core i7 920 OCed to 3.2 ghz, Radeon HD 4890, 6 gigs of RAM and 3-1 TB hard drives. It's the best Mac I've ever owned.
