Mac OS X Leopard or Windows Vista?

wyz135 · 10-22-2007, 01:41 PM

Do you all prefer Mac OS X Leopard or Windows Vista? Mac OS X Leopard can't run Windows Applications. You must buy CrossOver MAC to run Windows Application. But Mac OS X Leopard design and appearance is very High-Class but Windows Vista does not. I feel like buying a Mac OS X, but I also feel like buying a Windows Vista, so which one should I choose?

Windows Vista is a piece of crap and Mac OSX is .. for Macs .

Well, since you are on GPUReview I assume you play games, but you may also be a graphics professional. In the case you are a gamer there is no other choice but Vista. If you choose Leopard you wont have any games to play. If you are a graphics professional, then the difference is neglible, although there is just a smaller variety of programs in general for Mac due to its smaller market share.

If you cant decide then just use XP, its solid.

I say xp is the correct choice. Its stable, has games, and is not a (major) resource hog (at least compared to Vista)
