mac's aren't too bad. from a developer's stand point, it's actually not a bad platform anymore. everything before OS X sucked hardcore. but since OS X is based on freeBSD, it basically has a unix kernel behind it. very good choice on apple's part. i've never programmed for it, but i think it's desktop functionality, stability, and completeness are already much better than any linux distrobution i've used. if linux software is easy to port to mac, i would definately consider it. all the fancy icons, animations, images, and smooth graphics are a big fat waste of memory, tho...
windows sucks, btw. it's great for regular users and in general i like it fine. it has the advantage of having a ton of software developers making windows software.. but after nearly four years of comp sci, i'd much rather program for unix/linux than windows. i can't stand MFC and visual studio

I'm made of meat!

Macs Suck?
My Mac is 8 YEARS OLD, and I use it every day. It's running OS X 10.2 believe it or not. How many people can say they run Windows XP on their 486? None? Oh, okay. Nothing like software-based obsolesence for the PC users. Bill Gates is a whore. I don't have that problem with my Mac.
My 500mhz 9500 runs Windows 98, Linux, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and BeOS. To run some of those, I don't even need to reboot. Hell, I can run Windows in a window. Don't make me bust some screenshots to prove it.
Anyone who says Macs suck needs to realize where their pretty graphically based OS really came from, and who invented the mouse. 'nuff said.

Jafro: i hear you man. My 4.5 year old G4 is rocking still. running Panther (10.3) and life is still good. it takes a little while for it to launch some apps, but it's still solid.
and if you guys can find some money for Panther, DO SO. it is a sweet update, and im soo glad i forked the money out, definitley worth it
