hey Goobi , what actually do you like in Beer . seriously i tried Beer n it was totally Yuck ! .
Also , offers from PC Assemblers like dell are much more better than ac at the price of 45k .
Secondly , at the price you mentioned u ONLY get a the CPU without a monitor and with the teeny-weeny GeFore 7300 GT , now ain't that expensive ?
well that box for 33k does not even contain a Display , keyboard or mouse , let alone a graphics card so actual cost comes around to be rs 45k(u aren't going to use a CRT , are you ?). for 45k nowadays u can configure a PC with Core 2 Duo E6300 , 1GB of ram n a 19" LCD Monitor + kb + mouse + Mid-range GFX card + Legit Copy of XP . now ain't that much better than what you're gettin for 50k with Mac ?aryayush said:

well , Sun was the first company to commercially Offer a Real Octa Core Processor , the Sun UltraSPARC T1 to say the least . Also the Processor inside the Mac pro is not an actual Octa-Core bcoz it uses two Quad core processors n not a single Octa core processor .aryayush said:

ahh , we're men of the world , aren't we ?aryayush said:@Zeeshan Quireshi, you seem to be an objective person and therefore, I took the trouble of replying to your post. Please do not start a flame war here! Be civil, like you have been till now.

You get Mac OS X with none of them and as I said before it is worth more than the price of admission all by itself.Zeeshan Quireshi said:
And I did not say that Macs are not slightly higher priced when compared to their PC counterparts. I just questioned your opinion that the prices are extremely high. BTW, I openly challenge you to find me a computer that is as well-specced as the Mac Pro but it priced a lot less. Do it. Take your time.
And when you compared the Mac Mini, you forgot the important point I mentioned. It is the tiniest computer in the world. And yes, any company will charge you extra for better design. A hair-cut in an air conditioned salon will always cost more than one in a non air-conditioned one.

well as 200,000 Indian rupees = 4,919.8 U.S. dollars therefore u can very well configure an Octa-Core Workstation from Dell at their site , just try it for urself , the lowest Octa Core system with LCD Display + KB + Mouse + GFX card came out to be at $3600 , which is much lesser than the $4919 the Mac Pro commands and also if you're saying that the Dell XPS series n the Alienware series Do Not look good n mac is the only good looking system around then i'll say that the definition of beauty is subjective , it all depends on the viewer .
nyways i don't wanna argue on mac price nymore coz everyone knows that Macs are overpriced n there's no second thought in that

after they switched to intel apple has lost its exclusivity in terms of what it has to offer the only reason why they will still be exclusive to an extent is coz of their price
and yeah now tht they have come into the open with intel they are also facing what MS has been dealing with for almost a decade ... piracy lets c how apple deals with it

I was just going through this thread and came across this post. Can you post some sources where you got the info that Adobe used Qt under Visual Studio to make Creative Suite 3Zeeshan Quireshi said:
This seems more like an imagined dream story to me, but if it is true then would love to know when this happened.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 is a native Cocoa application and any native Cocoa application has to be written from the ground up in XCode. I am hundred percent sure of this fact. You can ask me to write it on a sheet of paper and attest to it.
Look at any native Cocoa application on a Mac and its Windows version. All of them look and work differently be it Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Microsoft Office (the 2008 version), VLC media player, etc. Adobe CS3 is no exception to the rule.

You are getting one thing wrong, which I found when I was beta testing Photoshop CS3. It is not compleately made in .net or XCode. There is no point in making an app liek this.
Photoshop CS3 consists of 2 parts. One is the photoshop engine, you know like the engine of a car. Now on top of this is OS specific optimisation & looks
90% is same rest 10% is OS specific
The engine is coded by Software engeniers & is cross platform compatible because it is on it's own.
The 10% part is made by UI designers & those who optimise photoshop for Mac or Vista. This code is made in Qt because of which it is Mac UI compatible cos Qt used OS specific bitmaps & pngs for the toolbar buttons etc as mentioned previously.
