Windows. It's the only OS for gaming.

I'm a mac guy my self.

But as funny as it seems I use a PC (windows) emulater on my mac as well.

In fact I'm talking to people and typeing this on the PC side of my mac right now. ^^

Windows. Zeph said it. At this point the only OS for a gamer is windows.

Yep, That's right, and, I have no problem with that.
But, since boot camp is rapidly becoming a better success than even I speculated it would be...I just don't like it, though. I've heard many people saying "You are a n00b is you use Mac." Since when is skill judged by what OS you use?
Zeph shall see. Oh, he shall see.
It's only a matter of time before Rosetta settles in, and then, the true fun begins...

Oh, I'll see, will I?

I have no problem with OSX, it's just when people claim that it's better than Windows, I have to destroy them. It's fine for typing up stuff, and emailing stuff, and even saving stuff, too. But it can't even run Dungeon Crawl well, and that game's graphics are ASCII.

Plus, iPods are overpriced, overrated, Apple has terrible customer support and warrenty services, and Steve Jobs smells like old people.

...So there.

Windows for my games.

Linux for my servers.

I'm playing Oblivion right now, Kara. On my Mac. It's what Boot Camp is FOR.
Ftw.
See, as much as I hate Windows, I can't really do anything about it, can I? I'll still prefer Mac OS over Windows, but, will use Windows for things I can't do on Mac OS X.
Or Linux, it's only a matter of time before some random guy ports Oblivion for computers that run on Linux.
Unless it's already happened, in which case, I bid you adieu.

Who voted for Mac Classic o.o

Technically I could vote for all but Mac Classic, but my Linux use lately has been less than average, and barring this little stint of a dead hard drive in my Powerbook, I do more stuff on OS X than XP, so I voted OS X.

I'm proficient in all three though.

I don't like MAC OS X much.

Consoles for real games. Windows for WoW. OS X for everything else. Err, except when I have to drop to Classic for my ancient graphics program.

Yeah, 'cause on consoles, you get access to the massive amounts of user created mods and content which PC gamers have full use of.

Right.

I would like to point out that WoW is sold as a universal disc, meaning that it will run(and install) on both Windows AND Mac OSX.
However, the main sticking point is, the private servers that are running generally have need of you do download a specified patch, which(Damn them) is only installed by a Windows executable.
