In a typical environment, workflow is key. Having to boot into 2 operating systems simultaneously (or switching between the two, which is even worse) is not only insane to be required to do, but also doesn't make sense if you're saying that OS X is already a better machine. Using Windows on a Mac is like having a prosthetic limb replacement to fix what you're missing.
Except I don't have to dual-boot Windows to get my general tasks done. It's mainly for corner cases in which a piece of software in a niche category has no OSX equivalent (WinHIIP and Quix for example, to transfer ISOs to PS2/Xbox hdds). Neither of those applications requires a VM for functionality, and thus its as simple as running them as a normal OSX binary (via wine with system hooks). There is no alteration to my work-flow, making your point completely irrelevant (it was largely based on incorrect assumptions anyways).
The argument that VMs interfere with one's work-flow to the degree of "insanity" is quite insane itself. It's as simple as moving my cursor over to the VM window and interacting with it as I would any other window. If you really wanted that GUI integration, both of the leading modern VM suites support a mode which renders all in-VM windows within the native WM, thus being little difference than running it natively.
You're pretty funny, the way you argue is like swinging a giant hammer onto a large wooden surface hoping you're going to hit a tiny nail you can't see. It's really fun to read, actually, because most of the time you argue points that don't make sense, or are irrelevant, then repeat what I say to you at the end of your posts to try to turn my points around on me. You're exactly why people don't like Apple fans. When you argue, you only argue half of what I was talking about, then you ignore the other sections and pretend like they never happened. My point wasn't focused around work-flow, that was a side point about an issue, which, according to you, "was largely based on incorrect assumptions" which also isn't true, you just added that on to try and make me look like I don't understand what I'm talking about. Typical tactics for someone like you, I bet you argue a lot on the internet, you seem to have that aggressive and disrespectful edge when talking to other people. It's actually annoying, really. You haven't touched at all on my main point, which is because I assume you don't have a counter-point.
The fact that you need Windows or WINE at all is pretty much proof enough for me that OS X is incredibly lacking as an OS in general.
Whereas I've never seen anyone bother or even attempt to boot into OS X via VM. Why? There's no point. A Windows machine is already the swiss army knife of computers. It doesn't need to boot into OS X to play games or use programs made for OS X because there's already an equivalent or better on the operating system.QUOTE said:QUOTE
Number one signal? You're hilarious, and also a hypocrite. Your posts in this topic scream fanboy, but I'm not going to touch on that because, well, I simply don't care. You're entitled to like something, however your disrespectful and aggressive side is showing again. I never said it was good for everyone, you just assumed I did. Much in the same way you assume a lot about me and then throw it into your posts like it's a solid fact that proves everything I'm saying is wrong. Do you actually think about what you're typing before you post it? You're literally missing the points of every single one of my posts. It's ridiculous. The fact that you even felt it was necessary to call me a fanboy makes you no better than Apple's ad campaign, in the sense that you're trying to smear me as a person so that readers will think, "Oh that dude's just a windows fanboy, let's not listen." Not necessary, and if you had any valid or concrete points at all you wouldn't need to resort to childish name calling. Pretty low.
EDIT:
Oh. That explains a lot. Ugh.
