paul527 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 wow. and i though Micosoft was the biggest research computer company i think that: Mac is useing more monopolistic ideas, thinking it would give them more money, rather than making it avaible for everyone and making it compatible with everything (like Microsoft did) C'MON PEOPLE TELL US YOUR FAVORITE OS!!

orappa Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) ... so Microsoft emulating OpenGL in Windows Vista in order to make it slower and thus force people to use DirectX isn't a monopolistic activity? Edited August 19, 2005 by Guest Link to comment
Leviathan Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Uhmmm. but DX is free for as far as I know... Link to comment
orappa Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) Uhmmm. but DX is free for as far as I know... DirectX is for Windows only and Windows costs money. By forcing games to be DX only, they are effectively dissuading developers from developing for or porting games to alternative operating systems, thus encouraging more people to buy Windows in order to play games. It also probably makes it easier to port applications to the Xbox 360 too. Edited August 19, 2005 by Guest Link to comment

paul527 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 well, i watched the first, and i will say that those movies don't tell much. It's not like windows is any better Yeah in the first video, the guy is talking about MAC OS 9, because in MAC OS X most of those problems have been fixed. And Windows isn't better than Mac and Mac isn't better than Windows. They both have thier own strengths and weaknesses. Link to comment
drumthrasher109 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 OMFG nothing in the world can beat Windows (Vista that is). Its the most stable and fastest OS ever. Mac's are just overpriced and useless, and Linux is just, also useless. Link to comment

I see absolutely no use for Linux. what are you some kindof forum troll? or are you just ignorant? do you realize how many of your game servers use Linux to host your games? Windows could not run one as good as Linux can. Link to comment
