  not a gaming machine

  Asthetically I love Macs and I yearn to own one but I won't be and that's because they are not a gaming machine. So i'm not buying an iMac Pro I'm gonna buy a Vista based gaming notebook. There are no up and coming great PC games that are Leopard-only and yet there is the vice versa with Vista. Plenty of game studios have flat out said they have wanted to work with Apple to make them more accessible for gaming but Apple isn't particularly interested. Microsoft doesn't own PC gaming but they have a platform that allows game developers.

  I can browse the internet on both type of machines, word processing, blahblahblah. Honestly I don't give a crud about the operating system as long as it runs the latest generation software I want to use.....on a new generation system with a duel core and 2GB of DDR Ram Vista is just fine, better than XP for me. (If you want to play PC games only on XP and/on install Vista on your 3 year old computer, then fine torture yourself, but stop whining to the rest of us when the basic solution is evident.)

  As a PC gamer my main interest in games, and I don't want to have to take on a 2nd career installing emulators and other hacky-dacky software (that's you Bootcamp) to play games that Apple otherwise isn't interest in supporting. Its a big old stupid-ass flaw in their business plan because iMac Pros are pretty shiny apple gadgets and usually I love me some of those.
