On MacOS: It's great, I run a quad-boot on my PC with XP, Vista, Ubuntu and MacOSX 10.4.6
That's right, you can run MacOS on pretty much ANY computer now! Just take a look at www.osx86project.org, it has guides and links to all you need to run MacOS on your normal computer (provided you have MacOS on a DVD, of course Tell Me)

On Linux: It's great..etc.
However, all the crapola about dependancies really does annoy me, if I want to install a program on Linux there's a good chance I'll either have to "apt-get install" the dependancies, or, because that's often not worked, find them manually on the internet and compile/install them. Another thing that annoys me is Xgl/Compiz. I have to admit, the effects are pretty cool, but only if you have a decent graphics card that someone can be bothered to make Linux drivers for, and besides, I hate anything that doesn't have Antialiasing nowadays. Razz Oh, and it's far from finished, and plays Videos and other graphicky things rubbishly.

On Windows: I don't see why everyone hates it so much! I have a Sempron64 3400+ with 512Mb RAM and I've probably had more crashes on Ubuntu/MacOS than on Windows. I've never had a single virus/spyware (Of course, that depends on the websites one visits!) and it hardly ever seems slow or sluggy without me accidentally putting an infinite loop in a script or something.

All in all, I think Ubuntu and MacOS both have great potential, as does Vista, but, at the moment, there simply isn't enough worldwide support or programs to make them a completely viable solution for me.
Therefore, I'll stick with what I got now. Big Grin

Although...
Has anyone actually got Renegade/RenGuard/WOL working under Cedega? I don't like Cedega (Crap license, Open Source all the way!) but I do use it. Rocked Over



i got renegade working on cedega with WOL. unfortunately, i couldnt install RG, as the way cedega installs programs is it creates a new virtual c: drive for all the games instead of just installing them to the same virtual drive.
