An OS of that price makes me think that a Mac might be more economical.

Mac OS only comes in Deluxe, and it's $129.

Perhaps....but you only get one mouse button.

Yes, but it's clever enough to tell a left-click from a right-click...

Apple has always made more economical computers. The problem is game companies will never commit resources to the macintosh because of the ratio between PC users and Mac users. Macintosh is too small a market share to design games for so PC will continue to get preferential treatment.

Also Windows has been attempting to return to its roots of user-end ease of use, which macintosh has alwaus been good at. Vista is a huge step forward and is the only OS truly powerful enough to run the new Quad-core processors and the Quad-SLI videocards from Nvidia.

I'm sticking with Windows for now *gets money*.

Plus wait a second yall will spend hundreds of dollars on hats and suits and are wary of shelling out $$ for an operating system?

Not me...its all about utility hehe. I use my hat so it is worth the expense. I use my computer so it too is worth the expense. See? ^_-

The current version of the Mac OS (OS X 10.4.7) is easily capable of running a Quad-core processor, although Apple haven't released a machine that uses them yet. In this test the two stock Dual-core Xeon (Woodcrest) processors in a new Mac Pro were replaced by two sample 2.4 GHz Quad-core (Clovertown) processors, giving an Octal-core Mac Pro. It ran with no problems, but as they said in the report they're not allowed to reveal performance stats yet.

I hate that mouse...

My film teacher in high school has a few. When I poke my finger on that little button it feels funny. I'll stick to the two button where you can see two buttons.
