So i have just seen a demo on VMWare fusion. The concept is EXTREMELY Interesting to say the least. The idea is that it's a virtualization which intergrates with the Mac OS, so that you can start the guest OS and drag out the applications seamlessly. I have seen quite a few people reporting that it even runs Visual Studio extremely smoothly, even faster than a normal PC in some cases. Visual Studio and Office 2007(I could probably live with iWork 08) and games are the ONLY reasons im sticking with my Windows machine. But I'm starting to think that once games works better under the mac, even with software like VMWare, people have no reason to actually stick with a normal PC, rather than buying a mac. So at this point the only reason i can't justify buying a mac is because my games simply wont work and that i have some doubts about the graphics card build in, which would even keep me from playing games if i used bootcamp.But also the cost is keeping me from doing it. But for next upgrade, i might just buy a mac. So how do i justify NOT buying a mac? What does turn me off with the mac is the developer history. Objective-C isn't my cup of tea, and to get access to the apple developer center you have to pay. And i'm still a big fan of .NET, but i will still be able to exercise my .NET muscle with Visual Studio trough VMWare fusion. So please give me reasons to not buy a mac. My faith in Microsoft is disappearing by the minute beyond the .NET paradigm, and I'm not comfortable with it.
