If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday October 9, 2004 @10:23AM from the microsoft's-worst-nightmare dept.

A not-so anonymous Anonymous Coward would like to put this query before you: "I'm not a fan of Windows, and never have been, but I am a fan of the x86 architecture. I really like Linux, but there are still a few issues that are keeping me from switching completely. I really like Mac OS X but I don't want to drop $2000 on a computer that is only as fast as an x86 computer at half the price. Darwin, Mac OS X's unix-ish core, has been ported to x86 and Microsoft's upcoming Longhorn OS seems to be disliked by everyone but Microsoft. If Apple released Mac OS X to compete with Longhorn, would you switch?"

The original post propagates, once again, the "macs are slow" myth. Give me a break. I switched from PC a while back and have never looked back. My Mac(s) are great preformers, silent, reliable, come with a wonderful OS.
