Dual-boot Mac coming to a computer lab near you

I don’t see this happening anytime soon at MY campus, but apparently some colleges are switching to a Macs-only environment, utilizing the dual-boot feature available in Leopard (for you PC people, Leopard is like Windows Vista – it’s the latest and greatest operating system from Apple).

Read more from this article to learn all about the campuses making the switch and Mac v. PC populations and all the other usual stuff you’d expect from a Mac v. PC article. Well, except for a picture of the Mac guy and the PC guy duking it out on a college campus. I guess InsideHigherEd.com just can’t afford the graphic artists (or the Macs!) for such picture wizardry.

Toodle-oo!

    your comparing Leopard to Vista makes me throw up in my mouth a little… any mac user will tell you, Vista will never be 3/4 of the OS that Leopard is… maybe 1/2, but never 3/4! :)

    Just my two cents!

    Okey dokey. How about this little bit of remedial English: ANALOGIES:

    SOCK : FOOT :: GLOVE : _____

    The correct answer in the ANALOGY above is HAND.

    Analogies are useful tools for explaining things to people in a way that makes it easy for them to understand. I’ve never tried Leopard. I’ve never tried Vista. I’m back in the stone ages and haven’t bought a new computer since 2005. So, I’m not here to debate the pros and cons of these two OS’s. I’m just helping educate people by providing an analogy that some folks might understand.

    Sorry to make you hurl for nothin’ dude.
