I run all of the above via virtualization technology.-And with regards Macbrocks "Mac's OS Leopard" claim... Leopard is a BSD based Unix version "written" in the 1980's for NeXT. I put "written" in quotes, since BSD Unix was created in the 1970's in Berkeley, and neither NeXT or Apple has changed enough of it to escape the BSD label (and related copyrights). The NeXT OS (BSD Unix derivative) was retooled for Macintosh in 1999 -- I actually had a Mac OS X server in 1999, before Mac OS X made an appearance in the desktop computer market.-So... Ironically, Leopard is pretty much the same operating system that was created in 1999 by apple, which was largely the same operating system written by NeXT circa 1985, which was the same operating system written by Berkeley in 1977.-Windows Vista is largely the same as Windows XP (2002), which was a radical rewriting of Windows 95 (1995). Apart from some backward-compatibility features that have since been completely removed, Windows 95 was created from the ground up. All versions of Windows were fully owned and created by Microsoft -- something that cannot be said about any version of MacOS -- and it is the most recently written operating system that runs on anything bigger than a cell phone.-If anything, Macintosh was "the last person to the party" when it came to modern computing. I remember in 1998, it still had a 32-character filename limitation, didn't perform pre-emptive multitasking, had no OS support for internetworking, and had what can only be described as a crippled software selection -- a problem that dogged it from its first days, continuing today. In fact, from most of the Mac-friendly blogs I read, the big "ya-hoo!" among Mac users is the fact that you can finally emulate Windows software well enough to play some Windows games -- The slower ones, which can run under emulation on the crippled "laptop version processors" that all Macs have. Or... You can "actually run windows" on Macintosh hardware (which would appear to defeat the purpose of owning a Mac... I mean... apart from the under-powered, bottom-tier, overpriced hardware, the only thing that actually makes a Macintosh a "Macintosh" is the operating system).

Mac's Leopard blows away any other OS. Who wants to use Technology out of the last century?
