Mac is gr8. 
I do know that you have installed NTFS 3G Driver but for reading Mac OS X uses the inbuilt NTFS read only driver. Wow, it won't even show the size of a network drive properly.
I just confirmed at a Mac forum, Mac OS X Finder cannot show Multisession DVDs at all.

Another flaw I found in Mac OS X. You cannot lock your Mac the way you can in Windows Vista.
In Vista, you lock your user or screen, you can simply click the lock button on the start menu. Your screen will be locked & if you have set a password then it will ask for a password to unlock it.
At this stage, another user can come & log in to his own account, & the previous users account will continue to run in virtual memory. The 2nd user can simply complete there work & log out while the first user will still continue to run.
In Mac, when you lock your screen, it runs a screensaver, now to unlock you move the mouse or press a keyboard. However, you cannot login to another user account while doing this. You can only login to the account of the user who locked the screen.
Windows way is much better cos you can continue to do your work like downloading etc, & lock your user while some other user can simply login & do whatever he wants.

It doesn't installs on VMware
VMWare emulates a graphics card so I cannot do R&D for Core Image & Quartz Extreme
I made that disk image using RsyncX, which does the job on incremented backups too. This is what i used today to revart to my old Extensions & GeForce.kext
Well, it corrupted.
What an OS, can't stand even a simple bit of tweaking.. Even Linux doesn't corrupts this quickly.
Well, The truth is out there for anyone to see, I really miss my TV (Windows XP + PCTV Center). I m reverting back to Windows XP on the 8 GB partition like before, still got the Acronis Disk Image intact. Will try Leopard when it comes, cos so far I have learned all that I wanted from Shake 4.1 & other than that, Mac OS X has no use.

Well, I do admit & will not blame Apple or nVidia that it doesn't work here on my Computer, neither I will blame them for slow performance.
I did forgot, Apple Mac is not a PC & will not work on PC hardware, oh my....from years I m so used to of running my computer my way.

found these two things extremely humerous from the link posted by gx:

From the actual iTunes End User License Agreement.
2)1,799,014 Mac fans switched back over to Windows, even though Windows is just as shitty.
