Leopard Vista Ubuntu

Mac OS X Leopard

Windows Vista Home Premium

Ubuntu Linux

-

running simultaneously without a hitch with VMware fusion

used spaces to split up the workspaces

(i super-imposed a screenshot of the mac OS X environment to make it look nice... in reality, you don't see the mac desktop in spaces, only applications)

(and in my vista install, I moved the task bar to the top, and i installed Stardock Objectdock, and put the default leopard BG as wallpaper)

- 

Allocated RAM/HD

Mac OS X - 1.5 GB ram -Native HD - host environment

Windows -2GB ram - Native HD(Bootcamp)- virtual environment

Ubuntu - 500MB ram - Virtual Drive -virtual environment

-

mac OS X is running fine

Ubuntu runs very quickly

but Vista still is rather slow(irony, considered i allocated the most ram to it)

-

haha

the power of the 4GB ram Macbook Pro with VMware Fusion*

-

*note while it is possible to do the same in windows and linux using VMware player/workstation, you can never get the same stability(for windows) or UI pleasing eye-candy/user-friendliness(for linux) as Mac OS X

-

and indeed i see why people Favor Linux over Windows

-

so much more stable and fast(considering i ran it under the BARE minimal ram )

-

but its a bit of nightmare trying to figure out how things work...  one needs to understand the UNIX terminal and the lot...

 -

and all the applications for Linux is open source... while there are a large number of them... one still cant exactly use the old software one is used to(at least Mac has a lot of port overs from windows)

-

haha

if i ever get a non-apple machine in the future

I'll consider ubuntu over Vista or Windows 7 (the next fiasco MS is likely to commit, nice doing away with the mouse in favour of touch screens) 

-

will post on the choir "alto reunion" when i feel like it... haha
