I've been using an iMAC for a year now . . . its basically c**p. Hardware is very nice though.
When I get back to my home country, in the next few weeks, I told my wife we will run windows on it.
I just do not know what people see in the Fruit Company's operating system - its clunky, non-intuitive etc.
Windows is easier to learn, very intuitive.

been using windows 10 a week now on my xps18 tablet and its actually pretty sweet, love the battery life.
I like 10, except for the fact that it has no media center...also, at least on my hardware it breaks my RAID array if it goes to sleep. It seems to take a day or two to resynch.
I am getting rather tired of this now DAILY greeting from Microsoft. It used to only happen on startup. Now it will pop up whenever it wants, say during an Eagle PC board layout last night. When it pops up you have no choice but to select "Sign out now" and you can't save your work. OK, now W10 SUCKS!!!!!

Ouch, I'm really glad I elected not to do the upgrade on my two windows 7 machines. I'm still running linux on my most powerful desktop and heading back that way I think fairly soon.
same here.
freedom feels good ...

Yesterday I stumbled upon a pre-relealse of MCE for W10...
Unfortunately it's early in the morning and I'm at work... I won't be able to post a link untill the evening...
I can't print from Photoshop CC with Windows 10. The only advise is to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CC. No issue with the drivers or Chrome plug-ins.
Zee link tu W10 MCE ai promesed 😀 :: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7o4ke3qi7guilg0/WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10134.0.zip?dl=0
Looks like what we need to do is wait for a year or so before upgrading to W10.
Can anybody recommend what I should run for windows 7 on the iMAC?
Is Parallels the right thing? Is there something better?
Its highly, highly unlikely we will ever run any Apple OS - we are done with it.

No need for virtualization if you don't plan on keeping the Mac OS, just install the flavor of Windows and run it natively. Newer Mac hardware is all Intel based. Just make a Boot Camp driver disk to ensure you have the required drivers, if you can. I don't recall when or if Boot Camp was last supported or if it still is.
Boot camp is still around and it is the most efficient way to run Windows on a Mac.
Virtualization is only good if you need to switch between OS's all the time. Virtual machines will always run slower because you have two systems running in parallel. With Boot Camp you only boot one OS at the time. You can setup your system to always boot the windows partition on startup. That way you never have to see Mac OSX again.

I do not fully agree. Virtualization is also used when environments must be isolated from the host computer... think of special settings, protocols and so on that conflict with general use, of if a fully controled setup is required (testing purposes).
Yes, one loses some performance, but with modern computers that doesn't have to be an issue.
If you are not going to run OS X then just run Windows natively on the Mac (Boot Camp). That is how i run XP when i need it.

I sounds like running windows on a MAC is a bit flakey.
I might have to sell it and just buy a PC.

Not at all. One of the solidist PCs you can get for Windows. One of the local private schools accounting department did an extensive survey and chose iMacs to run Windows.

Me too, except the Bleed-You-Dry company isn't flash either. One evil empire or the other, or Linux Mint.
I have to agree with Dave on this one, the iMac is a very nice piece of equipment. It's a very high end glorified PC VERY good hardware.. Don't like OS X use Winblows..
