    Re: What is your favorite operating system?

    Other way around for me, With the mouse (and inverted Y axis) I would do simply amazing at most FPS titles, I have a fairly quick reaction time and it just feels more natural. I THOUGHT an analogue stick would provide the most horrible aiming, as it's so limited, but I got pretty good at using it as well, Atleast in COD I've got a nice ratio going on.

    For some reason I can only do inverted y axis on flying games like Star Fox or Flight Simulator. It's really weird

    I think it has to do with the natural coordination the brain sends and receives, like in your example of piloting. I find holding a gun the same way, inverted (the movement) matches movement as you would do in real life.

    In the spirit of tolerance, I'm here at Starbucks with my girlfriend and her friend. Gf is using Windows, her friend is using a Mac (although she also has a PC at home), and I'm using Ubuntu.

    Well, it does depend on what task your using it for. I use Windows 7 for my personal needs, but I want to try Ubuntu Server edition on another computer. I also want to get a customised iMac (through the Apple store) and boot Windows 7 over Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I have only used Mac OS X Snow Leopard in shops though (I thought it sucked). Besides, Apple hardware is far better than Microsoft hardware (for my uses anyway).

    There is not a single piece of Microsoft hardware, save for a mouse and a fingerprint scanner. So I do not get what you're saying.

    They both do different type of hardware so I have no idea what you are talking about (maybe except the mouse, keyboard and Zune). Apple does computers, phones and iPod's while Microsoft does computer accessories like keyboards, headphones, webcams, etc...
    I agreee that Apple computers are good, but the only reason why I would ever buy one is the operating system because at that price I could get a way better computer (maybe not as good looking but surely more powerful). I see no point in buying a Mac if you are going to use Windows on it anyway.

    Ubuntu runs great on my 512 MHz desktop computer. Don't know what hardware you're running though. o_o
