Oh I know they’re cheap and easy to get.

They’re just not right here in front of me with all the other components.

Yay! Tech things!! I decided to be a little weird with Windoze 10.

I formatted my Mac’s HDD (no, there isn’t any Apple software to be found), installed Windoze 7, then upgraded to 10. The benefit of this is that the Mac runs Windoze as if it were Mac OS X...so none of the silly crap that comes with Bootcamp, and it even runs faster than the OS it was designed to run!

And for the PC that used to run Linux/Windoze: It’s being converted into a Hackintosh

Unfortunately, it looks like I need to run chkdisk on that hard drive. :(

I thought about getting Windows 10 for my Macbook. How is it?

The joy of Macs these days is that they use the same parts as any other PC. So dropping Windows on them isn’t a worry.

It’s a shame it’s not so easy the other way around with OSX on a PC.

Can’t speak for Bootcamp, but native? Runs like a champ!

I would probably put Windows on my Macbook if it wasn’t the Air with the 128GB.

I had the displeasure of helping a friend work with a temperamental Virtualbox. He was trying to get OSX installed but I was ready to throw in the towel.

At least your SSD doesn’t black screen boot up like mine does.
