I picked MS Windows because I am more used to that OS. I have used a Mac before but only for a short period of time. I never used Linux or BSD at all.

True but Windows is the OS where most of the games can be played. You cannot blame us.

Well, no I have to blame that on Microsoft. There was a time (believe it or not) that the Mac was actually a decent gaming platform.

Back in the days when Mac OS made Windows look like a child's toy.

From your statement, it seems like you think that the Windows OS has made the Mac OS a child's toy this days.

Not at all, I think it still is a better interface, but there was a time when Windows looked more like a kids toy than a proper Operating System.

So, are you saying Microsoft should have not improved from looking like a child's toy so other operating systems could have a chance at having more games? or has Mac stopped being that much better? :D

I'm saying that Windows came from pretty unimpressive roots, and while it's improved, the Mac OS and OS X design and then implement scheme seems to result in a better OS, at least in my opinion.

Offline Great Scott!
