Default 360 crew v. Apple

So I trashed and yet another PC this month and need to get a new comp to work on

Anyways I am going to be getting an Apple comp this time around, long overdue and tired of dealing with the issues. So is there a way to link into an Apple with a 360 to playback media?

If you can get it to run Media Center, I don't see why not.

I don't have a 360, do they connect with a wireless card/ethernet?

My mom just got a MacBook Pro and it connects to the same router as our PC's with no problems, reguardless if its running Media Center or Mac OS whatever.

It connects through ethernet or wireless, your choice.

It's not just a standard networking issue though. this is why I was hoping someone is either currently running it or has used this setup at some point.

Then don't buy a shitty computer. All you get when you buy a mac is a $1300 piece of shiny plastic with the internals the same as that $800 computer at your local computer store.

Ok, I got you now... Apparently Microsoft offers no support at all, but this article claims a program that allows what your trying to do.

I don't buy shitty computers so take your bullshit somewhere else. I work in photo and video so the PC is a drawback at this point.

I have made my decision and am not looking for anyone to try and talk me out of my choice, I am simply asking about compatibility.

I'm not trying to talk you out of anything I am simply saying that rarely does a quality computer ever have issues!

And in regards to compatibility with macs well you need to always check with hardware whether it works with something else or not because unless it specifically says "works with os x" your taking a chance.
