Installing Cygwin. Install Cygwin by running setup-x8664.exe. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Keep in mind that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin. Cygwin terminal free download - ZOC Terminal, Telconi Terminal, MacPilot, and many more programs. Darwin is an open-source Unix-like operating system first released by Apple Inc. It is composed of code developed by Apple, as well as code derived from NeXTSTEP, BSD, Mach, and other free software projects.

I bought a PC with Windows today, and am switching to Windows from my 19 years of Mac experience with 10 years of professional unix computing. This page tells the story.

Why I Switched

I have a aging Mac. It is aiMac G5 (iSight model; 2005 October; MA063L/A). It is the last iMac using the PowerPC chip.

The machine is great, but is 3.5 years old. I needed a new machine. I went to local shop Fry's Electronics and was just gonna get the newMac Minithat Apple just released this month.The cheapest Mac Mini is $600. Looking in the store, you find that a PC for the same price has about 3 times the hardware power. Or, for the same hardware muscle, the PC is about half the price.

By the above comparison, you can see that the Mac is shit, and they'vebeen in that state in the past about 6 years. The Mac OS X was beginningto save Mac since 2002, together with the pretty and robust and inexpensivefirst iMac (“Bondi Blue”) that debuted in 1999.

The Mac had a good time from about 1999 to 2003. But since the PowerPCslowness fiasco and hence the Apple Intel transition, the gap of price/raw-powerbetween Mac and PCs is getting wider and wider. Apple is too busy becominga fashion and multimedia company with its iPod and iTune successes.

Software quality have always been a major part of Mac's selling point, especially in the early 1990s. The whole desktop publishing revolution. The classic Mac OS with its revolutionary graphical user interface, Photoshop, Freehand and Illustrator, PageMaker, laser printer, Hypercard, Mathematica, etc.However, these daysMicrosoft's software tech, in scale and quality, is quite ahead of Apple, witness the.NET,F# language,PowerShell,Direct3D, Silverlight,etc, and the operating system itself is no worse than Mac's, startingwith Windows NT in the 1990s and its descendants 2000, XP,Vista. And, almost all of the best so-called Desktop Publishingsoftware that started life on the Mac in the early 1990s have moved toWindows as their main platform in the past decade (For example, Mathematica, Photoshop, Macromediastuff, several3D modelers (Strata 3D, Bryce), DenebaDraw, Fractal Design's Painter, FrameMaker, QuarkXpress …). In fact, many nolonger even produce Mac versions.

I'm tired of Mac being the second rate citizen for everything. Latest Java version comes 0.5 or 1 year later than Windows, similar for Google Chrome,Google Earth,Adobe Flash,Second Life… often come in crippled version and late.All Instant Messaging chat clients on Windows such as MSN, AOL, Yahoo, support voice or video chat, while most of these company's Mac versions still don't. This applies to just about any software. You are lucky if there is a Mac version.(For example, when i need to research virtual world technologies such asEntropia Universe,IMVU,There (virtual world),Active Worlds, none have Mac versions. When i want to try some software synths, juggling simulation software, go board game networks… Mac user's options are severely limited.)

In general, not only Mac buys you less hardware muscle, but the Mac version of software is usually slower than Windows version running on similarly powered hardware, because the software gets less development time and less optimization. (For example, JavaScript, Java, Flash, etc.) Commercial websites often have problems when accessed with Mac browsers, since many of them only test it with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. (not Apple's fault, but fact of life.)

I own a Mac since 1991, and i own at least 2 Macs since 1999. I was a DEDICATED Mac fan thru-out the 1990s.

I started to use Windows at work 1999 to 2002, and also own a fancy Windows laptop from about 2003 to 2005. But Since ~2006, i haven't touched Windows.I'm a unix sys admin and programer in web app and scientific computing fields. I'm pretty familiar with Windows as power user, but never did sys admin nor done any programing with Windows's technologies, because i never cared to learn any Microsoft techs. [see On Microsoft Hatred]

With this switch today, i'm committed to dig intoMicrosoft Windows's technologies.[see Microsoft Windows Tips]

Graphics Card

Also bought:“BFG Tech NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB”, for about $120.

This is for playing Second Life, and mygeometry 3D visualizationneeds. On the Mac, adding a graphics card is practically impossible unless you buy a Mac Pro, which starts at $2500. For the same hardware power and quality, a PC costs about $1000 less.

Display

For display, i got “LG L227WTG 22-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor”.It has pixel dimension of 1680×1050. Actually bought it in .

Spec: L227WTG_spec_sheet.pdf.

My PC Specs

Update. Sometimes people ask me how it went. Here's my experience.

On the whole, about the question of Mac or Windows, i'd say the situationis the same overall. Yes, Mac still prettier, more quality UI design, thingsjust work. But Windows much cheaper, more software, but more virus to worryabout, etc. Same old story. I didn't feel i lost something important bythe switch, nor landing on something better.

• I do miss the Mac OS X's builtin unix tools. On Windows, you can useCygwin but there's always little annoyances all over. If you dev with unix tools such as gcc,Apache,Python,Perl, then OS X is much better. (or get a PC + Linux)
• On PC, i really appreciate the far cheaper price, the ability to install latest Graphics Card. Basically if you are a game developer, you have to have PC. This is the most important win for PC for me.

in 2011-01, i switched to Linux as my main desktop.

State of Mac vs Windows vs Linux 2018

Since 2017-09, am back to Mac as my main desktop. Got a free MacMini as a gift.

But since 2018-12, am also using Windows 10 on Microsoft Surface Pro daily.

Today, virus is less a worry. Well, still, but not like before. Any Mac Microsoft Linux are susceptible to malware. Like, never plug in a USB from a stranger.

The situation of Mac vs Windows vs Linux is somewhat different now.

Linux basically sucks the most. Most difficult to use. You spend severalhours per week to get things to work. And linux is always some years behindin supporting any newish tech, such as hand writing recognization,speech recognization, text to speech, video editing, audio/music, addondevices, display port 2 monitors, USB 3.1 (or whatever latest), etc. Youalways have to spend few hours to research everything. Lots problems. Buthey its free. What can you say.

Windows machine is still half as expensive as Mac.As far as using, nowsoftware on Microsoft Windows is as good as Mac.But Windows respect your privacy less than Mac. However, most privacy concerns moved to the web.Google is now the omniscient king of evil empire, far worse than Microsoft ever was.

For programers, a big plus for Microsoft Windows is that now they support running linux programs natively. No more Cygwin[see Installing Cygwin Tutorial],and no need virtual machine.[see How to Install Linux on VirtualBox]

Mac is just good, but expensive. You live in a walled garden.The same addon devices for Mac is twice as expensive for Mac than for Windows.And, Mac now has dongle hell.Mac design has become bad.[see Worst Apple Designs]

Cygwin Mac High Sierra

Apple is now as evil as every one, intentionally make your iphone slowwhen new iphone is out, etc. MacOS is getting worse, less attention fromApple. Safari is the worst browser out there now.

Cygwin Machine

also, new is the sinister social justice warrior. Apple and Google are representatives.
