Woah, that is like the complete opposite of true. You use your OS every day. Every time you start your computer, you use the OS.Originally posted by gster123
Just have a proper look about before making a decision as you dont actually use your OS that much so to speak you use the software.

I didnt mean it like that, you dont start your computer then mess about with your OS fiddeling with things native to the OS do you for a productive day? Do you use use finder to write a report, devidce manager to search the internet?? Course you dont , You start it up open a programme (software) then use that, your OS is in the back doing the work but you dont notice it as your using the software, hence you dont actually use it that much (even though its there doing its job)...

I've a Mac and a PC. I love them together and hate them equally when apart.
Both Operating systems have problems.
They mimic each other in most results just sometimes you take a different path to get the result. for example, on the single button mouse you control+click for a right-click. Sure in windows its a right-click.
If you are more comfortable with a mac, get a mac, if not get a PC. If you are looking for the best animation machine out of the box for price/value and not so concerned about changing your workflow (then again maybe not) then like Gster said, make sure you get all your info straight. As no-biased as possible as it will benefit only you in the end.
Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~

I couldent tell any difference in stability between OSX and XP, in fact OSX fell over a lot compared to windows with tiger.
As for running programmes yeah your spot on your not going to get a crash on a lot things, max, Zbrush (maybe one day you might), mudbox, XSi, Headus etc etc so suppose your right.
Gonna leave it at that before this gets locked

HA! You haven't seen what a bunch of noobs can do with a Mac. I've seen them crash it in all kinds of ways! :pOriginally posted by elephantinc

As for Vista... well.. that's a whole 'nother can o' worms.
