I find it hard to believe anyone was/is using OS X instead of Windows just for Bash. Every Mac since the switch to Intel processors has built in support for dual-booting Windows. If you want to play games that don't run on OS X, boot into Windows and play your game. I am struggling to understand the concept of compromising your working environment so much, just for the ability to play games without a reboot. I would imagine the productivity losses in a single hour of working would be more time than is required for two full reboots - into Windows and back to OS X. |

Some flaws you have to witness to actually believe. As an example, I'd go as far as saying that Windows doesn't support high DPI (retina) displays. It does, but it's broken to a degree that I considered switching the hardware. If you're running a setup with both high DPI and regular DPI screens, be prepared to constantly manage your windows because Windows fucks them up all the time. The bad support for multiple displays doesn't help there either.
In theory the OS might be able to support these setups well, but dozens of included programs fail to comply. Even major ones like the password prompt. For programs not included, I have yet to see any to scale properly.
This thing where the included programs serve as examples of how a decent program should look and feel like, I think this just never existed on Windows.
Any Mac user considering using Windows more I'd suggest to try it for some time. Even if it's just to appreciate Mac OS again. OS X is getting worse, but they're still worlds apart.
