YouMad.GIF Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 trust me I hate the cult of mac more than anyone, since I was using macs since os9 when they were geared towards serious professionals. They use to be almost strictly pro level non consumer, and that's how I liked it I really hate this new iPod generation bullshit, and these new intel chipsets suck ass But I'm not going to say the os isn't better, because it is. That's evidenced by the fact you need a better system to get the same results running windows. And it CAN be done on PC, you just need really beefed up custom systems. I toured a local TV station and they were running windows, all very high end custom dell boxes. The reason they did this was because dell has a huge plant here and cuts major deals in bulk. They have about 200 boxes, all custom built locally that do what mac will do, because they got a good deal directly... So for pure bulk, yes that savings might help you if you need a bunch of boxes, because a news network is more bulk over quality - but most studios have like 5-20 boxes max, and for that situation you need to have the most power you can under the hood. It's a lot more effective to get a 16 core render farm in osx than have to get a 32/64 rack system custom. To do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Not sure just yet, my iMac G4 is getting ud slow. All I use the comp for is some photoshop, oontz, pr0n, and WoW, so really I could a windows machine. But I really just cant stand the UI after using my mac for so long.
