But just make sure you can install XP without any professional assistance. My friend had to pay someone 2k to install XP and even then there were no sound drivers (he needed to use a sound program). The reason for XP? Cause as of now it offers much better performance and driver/software compatibility. I'm not sure how this AutoCAD works, but there might be an important plugin that does work or something...

So..... we cant run those apps (AutoCAD 2008 and 3DsMAX) in MAC

I dont know why developers wont write any such programs for MAC .

Maybe, they know MAC is a frog in a well...

its because macs are for fun and not for real work

 

[goobimama]

I guess people pay me for having fun then!

 

[aryayush]

Heh, heh! Good one!

U can install it yourself after u buy.

It would be quite stupid to pay for the notebook and then install a pirated copy of the operating system.

She won't, trust me.

I know the PC industry sucks. Steve Jobs was right when he said that, "There’s some stuff in our industry that we wouldn’t be proud to ship. And we just can’t do it. We can’t ship junk. There are thresholds we can’t cross because of who we are."

I know she is buying junk and I am definitely not going to come back and complain about it.

Yeah, Windows applications don't directly run on Mac OS X. Try running iPhoto or Final Cut Pro or Delicious Library on Windows.

There is more CAD software written for the Mac than there is for Windows. And they don't suck, for a change. We can run AutoCAD on Mac OS X too, using CrossOver.

Stop with your nonsense, already. One fool stops, another one steps up to the plate to replace him.


Thanks, however, to all of you for the contribution to the thread! I hope a flame war does not start over this now. If some moderator wishes to take out that key now, I don't have a problem with it.
