Ah yes, the Windows bigots always love to point out the price. Notice the new Mac Pro is way cheaper than any other Xeon based quad-core system out there?

And no, you never, ever hear elitest comments from the Windows crowd

I use both, and each has their strengths and uses. I like my Mac because of the UNIX underpinnings and lack of virus threats and malware.

For the most part, no, you don't hear that from the windows crowd. The only time they talk crap is usually about games, which they have a valid point about.

I am just amazed how we went from standard desktop computers to talking about full blown servers... Price on servers is not the issue at hand. Anyways, there will always be less virus threats on a mac / unix based system since the user base isn't there. If the same number of people used macs and windows there would be the same number of threats... virus writes don't care was system they write for, they just want the most infections with the least effort and that right now means infecting windows boxes.

Yes, I have a mac as well, but I don't say its the greatest thing since sliced bread since it isn't. OMG g3 600mhz 512megs ram 30gb hd osx!!

Anyways, yay for getting off topic. To those that pm'ed me about the osx86 dvd, give me some time to get my dvd burner up and running again.
