The discussion centers on the comparison between Windows and Mac operating systems, highlighting user preferences based on functionality, gaming, and software availability. Windows is often favored for its user-friendliness, extensive freeware options, and superior gaming capabilities, while some users express dissatisfaction with Windows Vista. Mac users appreciate the operating system's design and ease of use, particularly for creative tasks, although they acknowledge limitations in gaming and software compatibility. The conversation also touches on the potential of Linux as a robust alternative, especially for technical users, while noting that both Windows and Mac serve different user needs. The consensus suggests that the choice between operating systems largely depends on individual requirements, such as gaming, design, or general productivity, with many users opting for dual-boot setups to leverage the strengths of both systems.

The newer Macs (Intel based & Leopard OS) will run both Windows XP and Mac's OSX. The dual boot option is great for apps that are operating system specific. If you check around the web, you will find that Windows actually runs faster on a Mac than a PC. Be advised that you will need to install an antivirus program while running in the Windows partition, but not on the Mac side. If you are using a MacBook or MacBook Pro with the dual boot setup, a mouse is necessary to obtain the 'right-click' in Windows.
