I know mate Its running here right now!

But I run in coherence mode so you dont see the windows background, just the taskbar and the applications in the mac dock

LOL thats so funny buy an Apple then run windows on it
No offence, it just amused me.

This is going to be another windows v OSx thread huh.

IMO at the moment a home computer is a home computer, they are all the same inside only the OS changes.
Well Apple don't really do DDR3 yet but that's about it, at lest I don't think they do?

Your right, they benchmark fast enough without it

And as for running weezdows on a mac... At least we can on rare occasions use it if we need to!!!

Mac has almost everything covered from their own stable....

I keep windows on my mac for only two things.

1. I they haven't sorted the citrix stuff out at work yet so I need it for that (I did have it working natively for a bit but they played with it)
2 Oziexplorer.

The best thing about it is that if windows gets itself in a mess I can just blow it away and have a new one in about 30 minutes

That's a shame - we've got a few Macs (including a G4) running Citrix at work and I'm using it on my iMac at home to access work.

The OS X screen magnifier works a treat - saves us buying Zoomtext software for PCs at $600 or so a time (I work for an organisation with a number of vision-impaired people).

Are you using the browser with the Java client?

I'm just using safari. We use the citrix client that you download. Unfortunately I downloaded the latest version and now no shift, ctrl, alt keys etc work. With case sensitive passwords you're finished. There were also certificate probelms. I'm confident all this could have been solved.

However I've got another job that I start in 4 weeks (for another govt department) so I can't see me putting any more work into it now.

I make a nice living out of being a Windows expert... Thing is, when I get home, I only use Macs.

As for running Windows on an Intel Mac... VM Ware is what you need.
