Linux is so not ready for primetime it's not even funny.]]>Sep 15th 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apples-grand-central-dispatch-goes-open-source-get-at-those/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apples-grand-central-dispatch-goes-open-source-get-at-those/
Saying that Linux (at least the popular distros) isn't ready for prime time because you have to manually compile drivers is like saying that the iPhone sucks because it doesn't have 3g capabilities. In other words, at one point in time the statement was correct, but making it now just shows that you are out of touch with the technology.]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apples-grand-central-dispatch-goes-open-source-get-at-those/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apples-grand-central-dispatch-goes-open-source-get-at-those/

I'm actually being serious, dude. I'm asking this question because I'm planning to buy a computer within a few months and wanted to get more information about the performance benefits/downsides of both OSes. I may end up either getting a notebook/netbook and turning it into a hackintosh or in the less probable scenario, getting a Mac.

I can't begin to tell you how many fails you wrote in that short paragraph. Grand Central Dispatch is to HELP developers write software that can take advantage of multicores, do you know how hard and annoying it is to do it, so apple created this to make the process much easier. Mac OS X has supported multi-core since 2002.

This article has some interesting links about performance comparisons between xp/vista/7 for multicore tasks

"As it stands, you'll need to reach into the 20- to 30-core range before the multicore efficiencies of the Vista/Windows 7 kernel finally allow the OS to overtake Windows XP in terms of raw performance."
