Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at their computers. Not me, not anymore, since I have OS X(~TEN) installed on my PC. After having used a PowerBook for quite sometime now, I knew how to use the OS and was familiar with it’s features. But man! The thing works great with Intel processors. Safari and Microsoft Office(2 bounces) open surprisingly fast on OS X86. So now here’s another reason for Microsoft to join hands with Apple. When I first tried installing OS X using Maxxuss’s patch 5 months back, I tried and tried…only to succeed (fully) today.

Who the hell said that we need an SSE3 CPU for PowerPC apps to work seamlessly? iTunes keeps singing and iPhoto is jumping with joy. I am on 1.92Ghz CPU with with an SSE2 architecture and OS X is up and running in 41.37 seconds. That’s about the same time it takes to start on Apple’s own hardware. I take back all my previous posts against Apple’s beautiful operating system that has convinced me to start saving some money, as it will definitely be one of my future aqcuisitions. Safari is a great browser, but like IE it gets stuck up sometimes Firefox is a winner even on the Mac, except when you’re browsing websites written on the pure devnagri script(also known as Hindi). Now I also now why Apple switched to Intel. If you’ve used a G4/G5, I’ve got to tell you that this thing is rock solid on Intel.

Anyone so generous as to buy me an iMac? Just joking, though I just know that Apple’s computers will definitely be one of my desktop/notebook PCs in the future.
