Plenty of cards work out of the box, numbnuts. Check osx86project and you'll see that.

How does that make a lick of sense? Sony has a monopoly of the Playstation market. Nintendo has a monopoly of the Wii/DS market. Etc., etc., etc...Just because they're a computer and use an operating system doesn't mean they're REQUIRED to operate with the same business model as everyone else. NO ONE can effectively compete using the same model as Microsoft (or how Dell/HP/etc. interoperate with Microsoft), barring a government mandate that forces all computer sales to split Microsoft, Apple, and Linux auto-sales evenly between them.

maybe someday Microsoft will have a "boot-camp" for apple. (or do they?)
cthellisApr 15, 2008
It would be kinda weird for them to right now, as OS X is only licensed to work on Apple computers, and you've already got your Boot Camp with those. ;-)Meanwhile, it'd be up to Dell and HP and others to push the "multiple OS" setups, since they're the ones pushing the hardware to install multiple OSes on. Why would Microsoft bother?It'd be nice to see one of the major OEMs push a Linux "Boot Camp" since they can, though. They could sell extra drives that way, too.

you are completely correct, but the "USB Remote - $30" and "Bluetooth Adapter - $10" are f**king useless, unless you are trying to make this HTPC.

You have no idea how long I have waited for someone to set him straight on macs. He works on them so it's almost like he thinks he knows all about them, but you and I know that there is no way to know everything about them when you have only worked on them for like year. Common Sense is a good thing.

There is more than one way to do it, you know... And most people talk about default use at first, which usually means what they themselves share, or have attached with a local drive, which keeps machine limitations.Meanwhile, I've used TVersity before, but it's annoying to set up, and itself doesn't support all the codecs you're likely to use. At least it was conflicting with other pre-set codecs, wanted me to boot my pre-installed ones and put on only theirs, and when sharing, the PS3 couldn't recognize any number of them even still. They seem to have changed operations up a bit, but then they've updated a few versions since then, and are still officially "beta."Meanwhile, the interface on the PS3 itself is still pretty palsy, doesn't give me a whole lot of text to go by to identify the videos with (the video text is pretty large, even on a 1080p display), and is slow to respond when browsing around. Front Row is still way more slick, fast, and lets me hook up my media drive directly so I'm not dealing with streaming, which makes general operation way more responsive."Home theater use" does not mean "Slingbox" alone.
