Windows runs any hardware or virtual machine. OS X does not. So, no...you don't have to buy a computer to run Windows because you can run it on your existing computer.

I guess you should also mention on each of your comments that you are extremely biased against and paranoid about Microsoft and that you actively target any popular Microsoft article posted here in order to inject something negative, whethe

Every time I try VSCode I find that it's still missing text editing features that have been in Visual Studio 2015 since forever. Like bookmarks. How can you use an editor that doesn't have native bookmarking ability? It also didn&

It seems like I see you commenting on every single article posted about Microsoft here and you always seem to have something negative to say about Microsoft. What's your point in commenting? Do you really think you're adding to th

No, it's OS X. For example - go and open any window from a "menu bar application" such as BetterTouchTool's settings window. Now try switching to that window with they keyboard in OS X, without using any 3rd party helper

I see you comment negatively on Microsoft articles just about every single time they're posted. It makes me think that you have some sort of agenda and so I don't really trust your opinion at all. For myself, having used Linux sin

Uppity, like Apple? I don't think I can reach those heights. (Remember those Mac vs PC commercials? You can't get much more uppity than that.)

For programmers or for users? As a user - the QuickTime UX sucked like most other Apple software and I'm glad that nobody uses it anymore for things that I need to look at.

Microsoft always does this. And I hate it! When they have a new direction, Microsoft brings 10,000 developers to bear on the problem from every angle. Once progress is made in the new direction, their thousands of MVPs and evangelists are i

Thanks, great response. I guess my overall point would be that once you think you know something, you've stopped thinking about it. I agree that it's a fact that there are different groups competing for power and that there is a c

I think this statement is hilarious. You tried to make fun of conspiracy theorists, but I have never heard a conspiracy theorist say that they "have evidence, but it's secret". The reason it's funny to me is because the

Thank you. I do use bash/dash and other shells regularly both on Linux and OS X. If I need my Windows desktop apps to work on the same files as I'm working on with my shell, then I just share the directory one way or another. Flex
