So many people buy a Mac, then install Windows in parallel. If OSX was so 'awesome' why cant it cater for everything? Im just curious.
My own answer to that question is straightforward.
I buy a "Mac" because I know from many years of experience that I am buying a stable, well engineered hardware platform that will last.
The fact that that hardware platform comes with OS X is an added bonus, and I do 90% of my work and home stuff in the OS X environment without even making a concious effort to do so.
I have little choice to maintain Windows via WMWare Fusion because of either work requirements (Windows only software) .... or the fact that I sometimes come accross websites built by lazy, incompetent, idiotic "web designers" that only work on the latest versions of Internet Explorer or require some obscure Windows only plugins to be installed in your browser again due to the same moronic Windows only view of the world some funky web designer had. Before someone grabs it as a "I told you so" opportunity, I should point out that these sort of Windows only sites are not any of the common "popular sites" .... but more often things like car manufacturer service websites etc. where they provide special locked down PDFs that need special non Adobe viewing software.
But it's no big deal to run windows in a window .... there is absolutley no speed difference. Maybe if you're a hard core gamer, but I'm a grown up and am passed the need to run around in a virtual environment shooting aliens !
But in the end, just like the old Airbus vs Boeing debate...... there will always be two camps.
