Yeah that's what I thought.
Which OS do you use?

Ive mucked around with OSX, and I truly believe its for people who have no idea. Yes its pretty, yes it works, but it is nowhere near as 'customisable' as a PC. You get what you get and you cannot (legally) do much about it.
With my PC, everything was purchased and assembled by me, seperately and so forth. Like a lot of you guys.
But i can change everything, overclock it, get any old ram, change the registry.... and so on
I know its possible, but is it simply a case that OSX is running on hardware that is much less forgiving of variation. That may be old school.

Can you please learn some spelling and grammar. Since you are on XP, you can use Opera, Chrome, or FireFox which will tell you if you misspelled it, which you did.
Hmm XP's not too bad, it's good on older hardware but I prefer newer OSes on newer hardware. I did use it for a long while though, but I rarely use it these days. Since the school upgraded to 7 and we all have Vista and 7 at home too, I only ever use XP if I need to install it for anybody.

I prefer Linux to be honest, and have used Ubuntu so much over the years. The only reason I ever use Windows now is because I want to play PC games.

I use Windows XP, Windows Vista x86/64, Windows 7 x86/64, Win 8 x86/x64 OSX 10.5-10.8
Really I can see some good things with OSX as I've used it, not as much of a cluster as it is with the win machines from a testing standpoint...there are so many more things that often don't work that just do with OSX because there is a unified hardware set. Software installation and uninstallation is far easier too. But I find from a user standpoint, windows is easier, but then again it has been my primary OS for 10 years, given I had used OSX for the same time...which for me has been about a year, id probably feel the same as I do about Windows now.

I like 12.10, however the buttons and progress bars are ugly in my opinion.
I really need to start using Linux more. I have a VM of Ubuntu in VMware and I really like it. Maybe I can throw it on my Core 2 Quad machine and see how it goes.
