Here's my Windows machine. I have it plugged into a monitor that I placed to the left of my iMac (to the right of my iMac is the iMac's secondary monitor). I don't have a keyboard or mouse plugged into the Windows machine, I use a tool called synergy, which allows me to use my Mac keyboard and mouse with the Mac and Windows machine at the same time. It's like dual screen with two different computers:

No.

Its like a KVM switch, but uses software

[HotelUser]

AKA a KVM switch?

Better. No hardware needed. One machine is the host and one is the client. Once you connect them you put the client's monitor beside your host's monitor. It is exactly like dual monitors, only with two different computers.

I wanted to use MaxiVista, but if it's for OSX, I can't find it anywhere.

I'm taking a guess he's using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu inside Vista.
Correct, i find andLinux a little annoying, so avoid the problem by just shoving a proper ubuntu in a seemless VirtualBox, Although it does in turn have a few issues of its own (the two most annoying being the bug when resizing the windows and the lack of multiple monitor support "/

I'm considering seeing if i can coerce the fullscreen mode to simply sit behind all other windows, which would fix the resize problem and also let me have some ubuntu desktop space "/

If first impressions are anything to go by I don't think I will be looking back.

The staff in the Apple store were very helpful, and friendly. What really impressed me was the help I received, there was no 'umms' or 'ahhs' when answering my queries - straight off the bat answers with no hesitation.

With regards to the MacBook, fantastic machine. Just gotta get used to OS X, which seems easy and straight forward enough.

It's not that great of an OS tbh. For example, in Ubuntu, to get at UPNP media streams I had to use DJMount to mount it as a filesystem then open the tracks manually, in Windows I use WMP or even the iTunes sharing thingy.

That ZIF cable came in and I stuck the ZIF HHD in my EEE. Returning the Aspire One this weekend. The EEE supports dual monitor in OS X, so I can have a 4 monitor setup, with mouse and keyboard sharing through SynergyKM.

Really nice! What model did you end up getting?

[Recursion]

I got a refurb'd White one, 2GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD so its the one before it just got upgraded, a bargain though at £579 IMO

[Source]

Yea, nice deal. I'm gonna get a new 15" mabook in the coming months, just its a big buy to justify :p

I take it you have used OSX before with Hackintosh etc?

[Recursion]

Yeah, hackintoshed once before but to be honest, it feels a lot more solid on it's native hardware.

I agree, I used to run kalyway as my main OS.... was fantastic until I started getting "Your computer has crashed, please hold down the power button" every 10 mins. Ironically, my PC is pretty close to the mac hardware... just not close enough :(

Um....no. Windows boot time sucks.

Um....no. Windows boot time sucks.

Ermm not really, my PC has over 2TB of data and windows 7 boots in 18 seconds.

Edit: just test booted my macbook (not the new one, haven't got it yet) and it took 32 seconds.

Deviantart, searched for stargate in wallpapers, it's the first option. Fixed Resolution though. It actually looks rubbish on my screen because it's a bit to small... Does the job though I guess.

It's a program, Fences by Stardock.

Hasn't the beta ended yet? I can't remember.

Edit: just test booted my macbook (not the new one, haven't got it yet) and it took 32 seconds.

My results are opposite, and Windows 7 takes me around 45 seconds to boot.

I don't think Windows Vista or 7 are known for their speedy boot times;)

I just ran some tests. Not really scientific as I kept getting different times for the same things.

This is timed from hitting the power button on the MacBook to being presented with the "log in" screen for me to type my password.

OS X - 28.4 seconds. Windows 7 - 56 seconds

Time from when the OS actually started loading to the "log in" screen. OS X timer started when the Apple logo appears. Windows timer started when the screen turns black from the previous white screen.

OS X - 15.5 seconds. Windows 7 - 31.5 seconds.

The only main affecting factor for Windows is that it's loading an antivirus along with the OS, whereas OS X is just loading the OS.

@HotelUser

Told you, your computer sucks.

Mac Mini - 45 Seconds
Windows 7 - 20 Seconds
Windows XP - 55 Seconds

That's with my anti virus turned off for both my mac and my pc.

[Recursion]

For God sake its spec dependant. LOL

@HotelUser

Told you, your computer sucks.

Mac Mini - 45 Seconds
Windows 7 - 20 Seconds
Windows XP - 55 Seconds

That's with my anti virus turned off for both my mac and my pc.

Saying my computer sucks is irrelevant, because the specifications between the two computers were basically the same. Also, I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp. Windows 7 boots slower. Exact same specs as with the machine with OS X.

It's to be expected really. After all Windows 7 is related to its bloated relative Vista.

One could also say your machine specifications are totally different. Unless you've completely trashed your XP installation, or your XP machine specifications totally suck, it shouldn't take 55 seconds to boot. My non-SSD netbook boots XP faster, and even OS X faster than your Mac mini.
