Well we both know it's a Mach kernel, derived from BSD. So it's as about BSD as the TCP/IP stacks most operating systems use (eeeeh, all of 'em?). I love mac hardware, but I dislike a lot of stuff about their user interface. It's like they went out of their way to make sure you forget about right clicking, and threw any hotkey combo you knew out the window.

Rock on!

 

Yes, the Mach microkernel at the lowest levels, but nearly the entire user land of Unix tools is based directly off 4.x FreeBSD, even the man pages are the same ... probably a distinction important only in the most technical of discussions. I wasn't sure if the finer points would be relevant here, considering Linux is mis-spelled in the first post.

As for the interface, just plug in a 5-button mouse w/scroll wheel and they all work naturally. I have no idea why Macs use a 1-button mouse. I can't stand using one and the first thing I did was replace it with a decent Logitech.

 

I knew it wasnt a web browswer but thats what i normally use my computer for is browsing for ****. thats why i was asking

My new PC [8D]

 

i hear vista sucks donkey *****

 

I've been using Vista on a brand new laptop at work for about 8 months now and not only does it not suck, but its a huge improvement over XP and trust me I've been using XP and loving it since I bought my home laptop and desktop 7 years ago. I still laugh at the Mac versus PC commercials, not because I don't believe that a mac is better or not or anything but they are just funny. Anyway IMO Vista is just fine.

 

Actually maybe I should have said that Vista is different and I like it a lot, not that it is improved. See even in an operating system I get overly excited[8D][8D][8D]

 

vista likes to onse into what youre doing.. the whole "caution, something is about to happen... continue??" aggrevates me alot

 

you can turn that **** off
