It's worth noting that Apple spent years working on their own software tools to retain a minimal level of software parity with Windows. Macs were dismissed for years as not having the same wealth of software that PCs had, especially in the gaming world.
Nobody says that anymore.
- mgcross 15y agoTrue, Steam and the Mac App Store have largely remedied that, but the amount of titles available (and release date) are still quite a bit behind Windows. I've also noticed my games (Source games in Steam and Minecraft) push more fps when I boot my MBA in Windows 7. (although I don't fault OS X for that - it's probably a developer/driver issue).
- mitchty 15y agoActually its probably partly OSX's fault too, the OpenGL rendering code tends to go more for correctness over speed from what I've seen. That said, the drivers aren't exactly speed daemons.
