MAc OSX or Windows?

If you are like me, and enjoy serious gaming the only choice of OS is Windows. Now what if you could bask in the aesthetic value of Mac OSX while enjoying all the functionality of Windows? Guess what folks! NOW YOU CAN!! And all for free! I just downloaded the windows theme by the name of flyakiteosx and so far it works great.( Shout out to Dingus9 for recommending ) The only thing that I have found to not function properly is when you have the quickkey program on the bottom it will overlay whatever program is open. Ex. I opened WMP ( windows media player ) and it covered the play/pause/volume controls. Fortunately WMP controls all have shortcut keys =D. So for now I can enjoy the peaceful scheme of MAc OSX.

Dual booting with Vista ( or re-installing windows )

Well for those of us who are new to Linux, Here is an interesting tip. If you have Linux or any other Os on your PC, or Currently have XP or another flavor of Wendos; beware upgrading to Vista will remove the Bootloader from the MBR. Translation: It will appear that your Linux distro has been deleted.Never fear nerdlings, your distro has not been destroyed. Its just that when Wendows goes through it's installation process it intentionally ignores anything written on the MBR and rewrites a wendows only boot script/whatever. ( In my case it would delete Grub and only alow me to boot into wendows.) To fix this just pop in your favorite distro's livecd and replace your Bootloader using the terminal.
