The Mac OS X is a great OS. It comes bundled with some great hardware built into some fabulous design. The apps available for Mac OS X are far better than their Windows counter parts. So obviously, a lot of people are amazed by it.

The wise owls obviously either decide to go ahead and buy an Apple product for themselves, like this author did, or they decide to stick to their current OS thinking the MicroLord will churn out a better OS for them, yet knowing deep inside that it will be just another resource hungry monster which will render their slightly old hardware useless.

Ofcourse some choose to ride the path which leads to the Open Source Community. Many have chosen to use this and are wonderfully happy with it.

But then, there a separate breed of nerds who hack their way into the Mac OS X to make it run on any hardware. Now, many are already doing this effectively. But when some people decide to try their hand at Mac OS X just because they can, without thinking things out, things get nasty. It is often seen that they do something awfully wrong to their machines and then blame Mac OS X for being crappy OS, obviously ignoring the fact that it was not made to function in the way they intend to.

Take a look at the following conversation I recently had over IM. This dude got hold of a Mac OS X DVD from some source, installed it on his system and then starts blaming it.
