Why use get Virtual Coonectx for your mac install windows on the mac just for that peice of software and you will not need to use 2 pc's again?
Then with your windows box put nix on it!

ahha, i have the ever elusive, computer number 3. it is running mandrake 9 right now. (i was also playing with redhat8, which i absolutely love, and before that, suse8.0). i might try this Virtual Connectx, though then id have an extra machine... maybe i would just sell the windows box for another mac!! or better yet, a powerbook G4

main reason...
Mac OS X
Nearly all the advantages of Linux, but with a UI developed by Apple. Power, stability, elegance, speed... it's all there.
I was a radio/TV major for two years and worked with digital audio and video. We had a mixed department of G4s and some Shittium 4 Dells with then new XP Pro. We couldn't use our DV cameras with the Dells because Windows disabled bus power on the FW ports.
When we finally made it work, it was shit. We captured 30 seconds at 320x240 and it was garbage. Dropped frames, poor sound, ugly compression. Then, BSOD before we could save it. We ended up ripping the garbage machine open and stopping the CPU fan with a screwdriver just to see what would happen.
It died horribly and we threw it off a building along with an x box.
Windows sucks for media production. Fuck it.

Uh, not quite, it only runs on Apple hardware and it's expensive (not free). Maybe you should stick to picking on Windows so's we don't have to get in an argument.

You are so full of shit. How do I know you are full of shit? Simple...because if you stuck a screwdriver in the HSF to stop the fan from working on a P4 system the CPU *will not* die. A P4 will simply underclock itself to keep at a safe temp if it gets too hot. A P4 will not even get hot enough to underclock itself with a Heatsink and no fan, if you remove the heatsink it will underclock itself.
A P4 is not like an AMD Athlon/Duron. The P4 does not have serious heat issues and serious design flaws. My conclusion is you have *never used a Windows XP box to do anything on and you go around making up shit to make people think that your overpriced, all propriarity Macs are somehow better.
An x86 box can do everything a Mac can do(wether it be running Windows, Linux, BeOS, etc). Actually a single 2.53ghz Pentium 4 Northwood and a Dual AMD Athlon MP 2000+(I'm sure a single Athlon MP/XP 2000+ could to) smokes a dual 1ghz G4 Mac. I've posted the article to the benchmarks in the past and I'll do it again if nessicary. ;P
(EDIT)Ahh fuck it, I'll through in the benchmarks.

Now tell me that the Mac does stuff better than a x86 PC. Heck, I think they were even using Windows in these benchies. ;P(EDIT

Also, I don't get why people don't call Apple a Monopoly. Apple intergrates Apple software into thier OS(Quicktime, Finder, iTunes, etc.) just like MS intergrates MS software into thier OS.
But at least MS doesn't force you to buy computers built by MS to run the Windows OS. I bet if Apple wasn't so propriarity and control hungry they would be doing alot better in the computer market than they are right now.
