Posted by pudge on from the extreme-y-goodness dept.

Visigothe writes "Siggraph has made available the Apple Quartz Extreme Demonstration PDF. The PDF has an overview of some interesting Quartz Extreme features, including the OpenGL calls that are made, as well as the new OpenGL extensions that Apple created for their upcoming Jaguar release. This is going to be a very interesting window system indeed!"

    I chose Microsoft products because of their performance, stability and reasonable prices!

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    Let's see, reasonable prices... $299 for XP Pro Vs. $129 for Mac OS X.

    Stability? Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, ok.

    Multimedia Answers: Macintosh poses fewer problems than Windows

    "If you are looking for a new computer and are open to a superior ownership and computing experience, look at an Apple before you buy," states Don Lindich of the Post-Gazette. The "Switch" campaign struck a chord because "with a Mac, programs and peripherals install without fuss, and there are no more missing .dll files, hardware or software conflicts, system slowdowns or surprise crashes. The last time I was forced to reboot my Macintosh was eight months ago, and it was my fault that it crashed."

    "When I use a Windows machine, I have to reboot two or three times a day. Though Macs are the computer of choice of most creative professionals in the art, advertising, music, movie and publishing worlds, it seems to me that home users need them the most."

    "Not only do Macs really work, they are effortlessly intuitive and fun to use. Switching to Macintosh, I traded Windows' 'Blue Screen of Death' for the Mac OS X (OS 10) 'Blue Screen of Life,' as I like to call it."

    Why don't you just come out and say there's more software for you to pirate! Be honest now.
