Format to windows?

What a load. And the Dbag CEO thinks everyone is just as happy with the mixed mode tech and it's been put to bed. Of course everyone is happy, they suddenly have way faster internet. It's the lack of forward thinking that is going to mean the network will have to be built again in the future to accommodate everyone because of their "cheaper" plan. Not wanting to get political on this cause it's like pissing in the wind but it's a stupid dumbass plan, selling out for greedy monoploies and murdoch's a C*nt blah blah blah

@ Mad Hacker

Did I say anything about the languages used on the platforms? No. We are talking about the end user here, and apart from the professionals....and...you know what I'm going to stop myself there.

Macs suck. That's my argument summed up in cave-speak.

Ooh-oh! Ah-AHHH!

I won't be coming back to read this article either - I swear.

Should have explained myself better...

@everyone

Sorry for that, I thought you guys would have been to able to read my post well enough to realise I was speaking past tense, live and learn.

I was using power PC macs back in 1999 to edit TV shows and although I suppose I could have used a two button mouse, it wasn't really our place to connect one because back then the suites cost $200,000 plus so they didn't even want to chance people touching the back of the thing.

My rant was simplistic because Macs are simplistic and that's why I wanted to make it readable by Mac users, if I had really wanted to bitch I would have. I could spend hours coming up with reason after reason on why the cult of mac is full people with more money than sense (and ability), but at the end of the day I think Mac will eventually become a gadget maker and stop with computers altogether because Windows will catch up and no one will care or remember.

Im an optimist...

Format to Windows?

Also, can't we just reformat the drives for Windows? I am also a creative video editor type, Windows does all that too...

Words cannot discribe how much I hated having to hold the apple button and click when in windows I can right click.

Anyway, Macs are good for people who don't know to use things because it's simple and it's their way or the highway. I want choice. /rant

Apple Licensing effectively killed firewire, eSata will do fine.

So can it be formatted for Windows like I think it should?
