Macs are stupidly expensive and people who use them are smug, arrogant and waste their money.

Windoze is bug ridden, crashes every 5 minutes and is full of viruses.

Just looking to save some time here...

you meant to waste some time..right?

Windows is a very stable system by itself. It's third party softwares including virus, spywares that made it unstable.

anyone can point me to a good site that will show me how to dual boot this macbook?

#1 I actaully thought the same thing untill I bought a macbook last month. It's ridiculously fast, stable, and the OS is amazingly easy and reliable. I have Vista on one partition and OSX on the other one. They both work flawlessly. I play a ton of games on the Vista side and they play great! I will never buy another PC. The features and quality are just ridiculous, built in camera, bluetooth and no many more...great! Get the unibody though...the white plastic ones are crappy and crack.

What games are you able to play on these? Can you play games like left for dead and fallout 3?

#3, just buy VMWare's Fusion and forget dual boot as Fusion can have both running at the same time.

#3 can you read? there is a ton of information on the web about how to dual boot these. I believe apple even points you in the right direction.

Just remember osx can read windows files but windows cannot read osx files.

Totally agree about the dual boot -- the feature is called Boot Camp and comes bundled with Leopard http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
A wizard will help you repartition your drive and install Windows, it's very easy.

However, using a virtual machine such as VMWare Fusion, Parallels or the less well-known but FREE VirtualBox from Sun http://www.virtualbox.org/ is much more convenient and works in a majority of situations -- except for games, where you want to use the native hardware for maximum performance in which case you want to use BootCamp (and stay away from the MacBook, especially the white and black ones, because of their less-capable video hardware)

#2, any OS that tells you during install that the install might hang up and should this happen you should reboot has problems besides third party software.

And no, Im not a mac fanboy. I dont even own a mac.

#8 they upgraded the new plastic white macbooks to be on par with the aluminum unibody macbook

aw jeez..

#1 ha, have you every used a Mac, I do use both PC and Mac and still think PC are better specially for hacking and pirated software.

By the way the white iBooks suck big donkey "d" nothing but a piece of junk. Yes, I own one....

I logged in to correct Ben, but #10 is right. Apparently apple silently upgraded the lowest end Macbooks so that they now come with the upgraded (but still onboard) Geforce boards.

I still think the Aluminum body is a better deal, I've had a lot of case issues with my all plastic first gen macbook, from Yellowing of the white to cracked plastic parts.

It should be noted too that the "low end" plastic macbook actually contains a faster processor now than the cheapest aluminum body macbook. It could easily be said you're paying $300-350 more for that aluminum shell.

Maybe I'm wrong and it isn't a better deal then.

mac suk ! greedy ,overpriced apple ..

You should check out the upcoming Mac! Just look it up on Hulu, under "onion apple", it looks pretty sweet! A total time saver!

Macintosh, or Mac, is a series of several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. The Macintosh was introduced on January 24, 1984; it was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command-line interface.

Through the second half of the 1980s, the company built market share only to see it dissipate in the 1990s as the personal computer market shifted towards IBM PC compatible machines running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Apple consolidated multiple consumer-level desktop models into the 1998 iMac all-in-one, which was a sales success and saw the Macintosh brand revitalized. Current Mac systems are mainly targeted at the home, education, and creative professional markets. They are: the aforementioned (though upgraded) iMac and the entry-level Mac mini desktop models, the workstation-level Mac Pro tower, the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, and the Xserve server.

Production of the Mac is based on a vertical integration model in that Apple facilitates all aspects of its hardware and creates its own operating system that is pre-installed on all Mac computers. This is in contrast to most IBM PC compatibles, where multiple sellers create hardware intended to run another company's software. Apple exclusively produces Mac hardware, choosing internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple does use third party components, however; current Mac CPUs use Intel's x86 architecture. Previous models used the AIM alliance's PowerPC and early models used Motorola's 68k. Apple also develops the operating system for the Mac, currently Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". The modern Mac, like other personal computers, is capable of running alternative operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Microsoft Windows, though other computers cannot normally run Mac OS X.
