"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

I really don't see where OS X is far better than Windows.
Well, as you go on to talk about audio, let's talk about audio. CoreAudio is the lowest latency sound API available (surpassing even ALSA), and it is the standard system sound API for OS X, meaning every OS X application can take advantage of it "for free".
Contrast this to the Windows side, where the standard system sound interfaces are all very much high latency. A low-latency API exists, ASIO, but it is supported by a small fraction of the drivers for Windows audio hardware.[/i]
The apps are not here, or buggy ( Digital perfourmer 4).
What the hell, Digital Performer 4? How about... Cubase, Logic, or ProTools? Claiming that the "apps are not here" for pro audio applications is completely ludicrous.
Almost nobody use Mac OS X for pro audio !
I believe this was addressed quite well in Ian Eisenberg's post.
