Apple Mac OS X on x86: a first test
Talkback I bought a mini mac to check out OS X but i found that it was much more limiting to work with than Windows. I couldn't stand the inconsistency. For instance, sometimes when you close the last window of an application it quits the application.

Talkback Rotten Apple: Your part of your post you said that your Mac mini was too slow, and suggested that if you are a power user to use a PC instead. Dude, if you are a power user, why did you get a Mac mini?

Talkback Wow.talk about shabby "journalism. I find it odd that you would even attempt to compare a "finished" product (XP) to an illegally cracked version of an early build of a new OS. What the heck is the point of that?
