Thanks to that, I'ma gonna probably play some games, something a Mac doesnt have access to the majority of.

Steam streaming solves this. you run a headless Windows desktop machine with your Steam account logged in on your network and then your mac has access to all the games #wow #whoa

I'll humor you with a response, you simpering little human being.

1) No. even so, you get double, nay, quad frames on a windows with same hardware. Why? I dont loving know. I don't work in computers.

2) Pay close attention betty beta bitch: im a winner in every facet of my life. I was born a winner. I win at work. I win at girlfriends. and I win in happiness per capita. You don't know the first thing about video game ownership. Speaking of ownership, in the words of the legendary game designer Icefraud: I just pwned your head. Rofl

honestly if you're that serious about vidcons, the os you're running means gently caress all as long as it's not broken because when are you ever going to not be running your game full-screen anyway?

But in the real world, try connecting an OS X machine to a windows domain for business using Citrix VPN tunneling

Hint: IT DOESNT WORK

you just run win 8 in parallels and connect to the vpn and then add the domain controller to the hosts file because dns doesnt work right when the parallels is in a vpn and osx isnt. i have a real client who does this.

i was actually meaning from the windows side; the start menu being garbage and the OS' fonts sucking and the mail app not working and, and, and...don't mean a drat if you're playing Counter-Strike or whatever 16 hours a day and exclusively using in-game functions to communicate with people you know. Your comp is basically a glorified arcade cabinet at that point.

they aren't and the few that are play better under windows because osx is slow as poo poo.

they run better in windows because the "native" OS X games you're talking about are actually using what amounts to a wine wrapper. it's usually faster in loving VMware

no any of the ones written in modern engines like unreal 3 are running native in opengl and its just that osx is really slow and garbage. its not meant to be used for people who want things to happen quickly.
