First I see that Apple Ipods can be pluged into Microsoft Xbox360's!
And now Intel chips in the new Mac! |

OMFGWTFBBQSHAPES!!!!  it's good that ipods can be pluged into xbox's, you can have your favourite play lists and dont have to make them from cd's etc. s for the intel in the mac it will reveal the true potential of intel, mabe even making them more durable and faster and lets not forget more capable  |

| True potential of Intel? I ain't brand biased having a Intel tablet PC and AMD desktop, but amases me that for a third of the price AMD give almost the same performance! |

Hahaha... I'm guessing you stopped paying attention to the AMD vs Intel at about... mid AthlonXP era (2000+ models)?
P4's run much hotter, for less performance, and will set you back more $$$.
AMD don't make sell chipsets, thats for the 3rd party developers like Nvidia/Via/SiS etc etc.
Sinse about Nforce2 i'd say the Intel mahines were less stable than the AMD's  |

yeah i gave up on most technology these days. i buy things when i need them only aye. no point trying to keep up as most of the crap is just new pointless features that i have no use for!
i mean my Athlon XP 3000+ is more than adequate for getting on fordmods and listening to MP3's, typing essays which is all that I do with the computer these days! |

| Well no matter what an Apple has inside, id never buy one. No matter how much unstable windows is sometimes... I just couldnt get used to their GUI, its not that user friendly. |

It just wouldn't be the geeky section if there wasn't any AMD vs Intel, Nvidia vs ATI, or Windows vs linux vs Mac battling |

well.... microsoft owner, bill gates owns part of apple...so that makes sense..
and microsoft and intel are in bed together....
(with every new windows release, microsoft cram more and more bloatware into the software to slow the bastard down so it cant be run on your current processor well enough, so you have to go buy a new processor to maintain good functionality...which helps intel out, and in exchange intel only load their desktop systems with windows operating systems)
so that makes sense too...
and AMD are the opposition to Intel, and Linux is the opposition to Windows, thus AMD and Linux are pretty much kindred
p.s. F**k Microsoft. |

I'm all for windows and AMD 
I like the theory behind linux and what it represents... but windows is just so much better at offering compatibility with everything. And besides WinXP isn't that bad. 9x was a bit how ya goin but XP seems fine. |

Screen shots won't show you much, depending on Linux distributions, what desktop is used (much more to this than it sounds) and personal preferences can make a Linux GUI look like a Windows GUI, one perfect example was Lindows |

Nice. They just need to figure out how to cram an extra button onto the mouse and they'll be getting somewhere.
Spose one button suits the art students tho.
