because Mac zealots are under the dillusioned impression that their Macs are better than any PC around despite the fact that they often use hardware that is a year or more out of date and are geared towards workstation tasks not gaming.
I always love it when people say Macs run Windows better than PCs, too. Do Macs even have core i7's yet? I didn't think so.
Don't get me wrong I think Macs are great and if only I had enough for a Macbook, but they really aren't the best thing since sliced bread...

Well, that isn't *entirely* true. How the operating system and software uses that hardware is a big part of it. Some Macs do better with certain graphics cards that might not fare so well in a Windows environment, because they rely on OpenGL instead of DirectX.
That where you are wrong, and i think before saying things like that you should do some research. A Mac is far more stable than anything that we would normally refer to as a normal PC. This is because there is nothing 3rd party in them, that hasn't been fully tested by themselves first.
Also it is more safe to run windows on the mac, as most the visualization software has snapshot features. Also most have the ability to secure viruses better, as they can take them, fully out of the windows environment to clear them.
Also DirectX is used in the visualizations, well the ones that i use anyway, as Ive been able to play very graphic intense games that require directX.
Regarding the i7, at the point of you posting no they had no machines out, but apple had announced that they were going to introduce them, earlier on in the year.
So, by the sound of it, you are one of these people that are a windows lover, and as soon as anyone mentions using a mac, you just try and argue that the generic PC is better.
Well a PC maybe better, but you are always let down by one thing....the operating system.
Now back to topic, i originally used bootcamp to run BVE and simsig, but then i migrated to VMware fusion, and i would recommend it to anyone. Also MSTS, i fine runs better, because of the environment. Its the operation system that causes all the problem with the PCs.
