Burst means I can burst the RAM to 10gb. I have 12gb installed but reserve 4gb for Windows

Well, 'spose you're right on the first one, however, most people refer to a Windows machine as PC and a Mac as a Mac.

I don't want to get in to an argument about 10.8. Sure, it has the worst looking calendar and Notes applications every created, but Notification Center is extremely useful, in my opinion. In fact, its the only reason I upgraded. At my school all of your classes are put on your email calendar, so rather than having to spend ages pulling out a ratty paper table or some weird app I simply swipe two fingers. Even though I did get it for free, I'd still buy it. Compared to Windows (last time I bought a copy of Windows was 7, it was a few hundred dollars. I'm not sure if they've changed their pricing.) $20 dollars is very cheap.

True, most people do call it that, but if everyone started calling a Taco a Kebab, does that make it right? (if you haven't guessed I'm hungry :P)

Well from a programmer who is a massive power user they have removed and/or disabled a tonne of features that I used in 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7... there are constant bugs in baseline programmes like Finder, there are tonnes of bugs that 10.8 has caused with development environments such as Eclipse, and Java IDE/SDK, not to mention the various other random bugs I have come across in my time using it. So yes, while I love that Mac charges so little for updates compared to Windows, and how that number has been getting smaller every year, I feel that 10.8 is the Vista of OS X... At least there is not too long until we will hopefully get a better release and can move on from this failure.

As I said, I'm not going to argue. I've made my point, that's it.

That second one ain't a PC :P

Also, whats 'burst 10gb', there's no Turbo Boost-esque thing for RAM.

A Mac is a PC... Wait, maybe it isn't personal. They take all sorts of data about you and shit.
