[QUOTE="schriftleiter, post: 1039479, member: 151751"] [b]Mac vs Windows[/b] We just bought an iMac and are very disappointed. The machine is very nice looking and runs very well but we have yet to find software that works on it. My wife wants to design her own greeting cards and the software we purchased does not work well (only two folded cards.) The best thing we have found so far is that we can load Windows XP on it but we need to buy it pretty soon from the wholesalers because Microsoft no longer sells it. The second best thing about the iMac is that the unix application on it appears to be ok. The machine was about twice as expensive as our HP, but it has 4 GB of RAM and 1TB of disk space. The screen is huge and there is no clutter (all included in the monitor.) There are no games and no trial versions of software. So far, text editing, graphic designing, photographic manipulation, etc. are all better using Windows. I have not yet installed the Windows OS. I am hoping that once the machine is able to boot in either mode, this iMac will be my machine of choice. [/QUOTE]
