  • Macs are too expensive, Windows sucks and Linux is immature

Hybrid wroteI can't stand OSX for more than 5 minutes, it annoys the crap out of me. I don't even know how people can use it.

I've been a happy Linux user for several years now. Linux Mint is my favorite Linux desktop.
Here too.
The animation when you minize
The animation when you fullscreen/maximize (or whatever they call it)
the messed up thumb positioning for control (copy,paste,undo, etc...).
oh did I mention the animation ? it's everywhere: pop ups that explode, windows that shrink and slide ...

Oh and the whole experience where they just give you 4 folders to work with: music,pictures,apps ...

I'm no windows fanboy, I'm obliged to use it cause of gaming, but it's definitely better than OSX. But what it gives in experience it lacks in stability/security... but not too annoying.

I would love to move to linux. Nothing is better than being in control.. but as I said, gaming :/
Might try dual boot, but last time I tried I completely f'ed up XD
Windows Me is amazing, has USB support aso, I suggest that, good luck
Why not try building a hackintosh? i know it's against apple's rules but it might work just great for you if you really like mac and don't want to pay for one!
