Why you'll love Mac OS X.

[sakumar79]

You can technically install the OS on any PC, but it is not allowed legally as per the OS EULA...

^^it means there is no scope for 'try before you buy'.Too bad(not for customers but for Apple).

Go to any Apple Authorised Reseller and they will have a Mac on display. You can use it for as long as you wish to and no one will stop you. They, the store employees, generally encourage you to use it as much as you want and are always around and eager to help you out. This, my dear friend, is called "try before you buy".

Why you'll love Mac OS X.

who me ?? never !! until it replaces windows.. which is neva goin to happen

now all the apps that i need work only on windows who the hell is going to port them to mac..

arya has no idea the apps that run on windows... me being a CSE student.. knows it all...! as i am a programmer who must satisfy all the customers needs which mac os will never do..!!!!

and software projects take months and and some of them years to complete..also thousand of people .. working on them.

i like the mac still because of its looks.. and will buy it incase i get lots of money...for show off ofcourse...
also now that one looks cool .. so might help in surfing and basic stuff...

It is not as simple as a clause in the EULA. If you try to install the OS on a PC, it simply won't install. No chance. You need to know where to get it and it needs a lot of arm-bending. Most people I know only got it in a somewhat working condition after installing and re-installing several times. It also has the propensity to crash often and randomly stop working. Definitely not for the faint of heart, non-geek, sensible people, pregnant women and people with a coronary condition.

@akshay abey rehne de .... kutte dum sidhi nahi hotti .... andhe ko rasta nahi dikha sakte

@arya: doesnt need arm bending yes the beta of leopard needs it but the tiger version does not need any arm bending pretty simple not as simple as compared to vista installation though

 

[gxsaurav]

Arya, do u even change the default wallpaper of your OS to customize

Stacks.

Does your desktop get cluttered? You’re hardly alone. So you’ll love one of the most useful new features in Leopard: Stacks. A stack is a Dock item that gives you fast access to a folder of files. When you click a stack, the files within spring from the Dock in a fan or a grid, depending on the number of items (or the preference you set). Leopard starts you off with two premade stacks: one for downloads and the other for documents. The Downloads stack automatically captures files downloaded from Safari, Mail, and iChat, and the Documents stack is a great place to keep things like presentations, spreadsheets, and word processing files. You can create as many stacks as you wish simply by dragging folders to the right side of your Dock. Pretty neat.

@gx: if he does that the os will crash

@arya thanx cant wait to see what more crap is filled in

Aryayush tell me one thing why won't Apple people release their OS to work on all hardware...what and why they are afraid of ...

And i think we can buy a mac OS separately becoz one of my friend has buyed it out of excitement in 60Rs from Palika ..never checked though..

 

[SunnyChahal]

Can we install 3rd party applications like adium there?

also if windows can be installed on it and run exactly how windows run on pc then fine...
also now that one looks cool .. so might help in surfing and basic stuff...

On a Mac, you need to press five buttons to install Leopard - Start, Next (language selection), Next (hard drive partition), Next (option to exclude some of the default stuff) and Finish. That's it.

My seven year old sister installed Leopard for me while I cooked noodles for her and I'm not even kidding!

@arya i just selected the drive and vista installed itself

 

[praka123]

possible mac buyer if money is raining outside my house.will buy a vista dvd for it to RIP in my shelf.

Cos then Apple won't be able to make money. Arya will face it soon with a HD DVD drive. To get HD DVD drive he has to buy a new Mac, however we PC users can simply buy one from market & plug it in..

Apple is not any big software company. The OS kernel isn't there own, they just take the BSD kernel & add remove some components from it to make the Mach kernel & lock it.

They use KHTML engine instead of creating there own.

Logic, Final Cut Pro, Shake, iTunes were all purchased from 3rd party companies

@vish:leave it yaar.

I heard somewhere that Apple is planning to launch Leopard for non-mac PCs too.I guess that was just a rumour.The price tag of 129$ is really good.
