Original OSNews Interviews Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

Fact: BSOD on WinXP
by CaptainPinko on Fri 31st Oct 2003 07:19 UTC

i can verify that BSODs exist in XP, the XP driver that came w/ my DVD-RAM combo-drive was not XP signed and attempting to erase (i believe it s been patched since this) a DVD-RW in it could crash the OS and BSOD. i'm not saying that the BSOD in this case was M$'s fault, but the point is that BSODs still do exist in XP

btw why when i get severe internet lag my downloading something huge does my MOUSE cursor become less response on a 2.3 Ghz P4 w/o HT w/ 1 Gig RDRAM ? THAT makes no sense


PS- the *LAST* thing i want is for OSX to be ported to the x86 platform. x86 as an ISA needs to DIE and OSX is the only viable choice. if you don't believe me just trying programming in x86 assembler and then something like SPARC (btw i PPC != SPARC, but still RISCy)
