Microsoft need to program with maximum compatibility, macs on the other hand can be coded for far more specifally.
And that's the whole reason Apple makes their own hardware and software.

What I wanted to know was why does Mac OS X Tiger only require 256mb of RAM has the ability to run Aqua as the default (and only) UI
My Avatar shows exactly what I see all the time when I'm using Mac OS X on a 256MB RAM machine...
I think your conclusions aren't exactly fair. Macs have a very limited hardware base, the different hardware configurations of mac are fair less than that of the PC.

A minimum sys req of 1GB RAM plus a recommended 256 Video RAM hardly seems like programming for max compatibility to me...
so MS would know when we change and what we change, i dont want them spying on my system in first place, if i have spent 100+GBP on a legit software i expect to be left alone and do what ever i feel like with my purchase, but no!, MS says '"this agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights". ... who's incharge here? me or spying MS? i know this is the deal with most of the softwares around still, vista takes it a bit too far
as for uninstalling win defender, i dont know, you might not be able to BUT if you can, then either keep it and let MS mess with your pc OR uninstall it and let the rest of the world mess with your pc (spyware, malware, adware,<anything>ware .. ) ... OR spend some more and get third party anti-everything ... lose lose situation.
99% of hackers are watchin it .. haha .. yeah but punish 'them'! why make it difficult for someone with a legit copy?
Nice tip!
I'd start a thread on this, it's certainly possible, try looking in System Preferences==>Bluetooth==>Devices==>Set up new Device.
Oh and clevin calling Microsoft M$, it is old and immature.![]()
oh yeah. I honestly think u missed the point or doesn't really care the solution.
its not like "either M$ mess ur pc or other ppl mess ur pc", u can always install third party free anti-virus, spyware software, can U? if u don't know, then let me tell you there are a bunch of great quality freewares that can do the job u need under windows. if u don't have any bias, u can try out for yourself and post back if it mess up your system.
Legit copy? can u make one with your Tiger? don't complain about that, most softwares do not allow you to make a copy.
M$ at least allows u to change your hardware and u can re-activate ur system, with mac, what kind of choice of hardware do u have? to what extend?
I have owned Macs with 512mb of memory before, it is not pretty. 256? You gotta be joking
you skipped the first part of my post .. anyway doesnt matter, i think there isnt more to say on that anyway.
first i want to make this clear that i have no bias, i have only started using macintosh since last 3 weeks, yes honest truth.
coming to your post,.. thats what i wanted to hear, go for the third party softwares to save vista from malware ... tell me honestly mate, after years of development and billions of dollars spent in redmond, they come up with windows defender to offer as a safety against spyware etc. and give users 'out of the box' experience ... still if it lacks and people have to go for 3rd party solutions then how is that good?.. thats vista? thats how wow starts now?

Really? My grandfather's B&W PowerMac G3 runs 10.2.8 with 128mb or memory. Sure, it isn't exactly fast, but it gets the job done. My uncle has an iBook G4 with 512mb of memory, and it runs Tiger great. Mac OS X runs fine on not much memory.
the part of your post i didn't respond are the part i agree(normally, if i didn't overlook them), just like u didn't respond all points in my post, i assume u agree with those part too.![]()
I always called MS as M$, being anti-M$ doesn't affect my judgment, and doesn't mean pro-apple.
no, sometimes i just love to see apple fans being contradict with themselves,
its really funny, they brag everything about the looks of OSX, but keep saying Vista's looks is useless... how interesting.
same applied to iphone and zune.
its always the logic, "when apple has it, its great, when other ppl have it, but apple doesn't, then its useless", lol, that s all i can say.![]()
