"If someone cares so much about a video game(s) that they complain on a forum about it, they should have never got a Mac in the first place. It's as simple as that."
It's true.
So how exactly do Macs have better media capabilites then, hmm? This is what amuses me about the Apple ads too, they're so hilariously wrong. They make out PCs can't do pictures, movies or music....oh nah, we're definitely lacking on that aspect, obviously i can't very easily just open a pic up in Photo Gallery, then just browse the entire library of them on my PC, in the same place i look at my Music and Videos...
I want to know why people even try and game on Mac computers, they were never built for gaming, they've never performed at gaming and the computers themselves are extortionately expensive. It's not even reassuringly expensive because they look just like big blobs of plastic anyway. Like other people are saying, there's just no market for games on a Mac. If Halo 2 came to the Mac, i doubt more than about 1000 people in the world would buy it, not even covering the expenses of porting it to Mac.
I disagree that Microsoft are going back to their pre-2001 ways. I have never seen a repeat performance of Windows ME, as far as i'm concerned that was the stage where MS hit rock bottom, regurgitating a 6 year old idea. Making some things Vista only is just basic marketing, but notice they've kept up some things for XP. IE7, Windows Defender, Windows Media Player 11, Live Messenger and Desktop Search are all technically Vista features which were also given full support for Windows XP. But you've got to see that XP is 6 years old, for a company like MS that is now a failing asset, so pushing the new much improved (and it is, sorry haters, just get used to it) Windows Vista is a goal for them. I don't mind them doing that, if the end product is a good quality. There is no denying it, Halo 2 Vista is actually built very well. The demands aren't THAT bad, it runs great on moderately powerful PCs and up, it's got some new features, it's relatively well de-bugged and so doesn't crash all the time... There's nothing that sticks out and says "cr@p quality" at least, so i'm fine with the Vista-only branding as long as they keep that up. It's when they bring out games for Vista only and they turn out crud, that i will become annoyed.
