20+%? I know that Windows 7 already has more than all Mac systems together. I can't find accurate data but not long ago it was slightly above 10%. And still over 80% of all Windows systems installed is XP.
Windows 7 passes Mac OS X in market share race
I agree that Macs are good for professionals. Not that you can't do the same on a PC though.. but if you prefer Mac OSX and don't do things you can't do on a Mac then it's okay I guess. Some programs are optimized for Macs.
However what Mac was good for was graphics. These days when Adobe creates their suite for PC and then only ports it to Mac most studios don't have a preference for Mac anymore. No doubt Jobs is pissed.

I could have sworn you said your Pro Tools rig was on a PC.
Anyway - evidence to support this statement? PC's are just as capable as Macs for recording music.
In fact, for certain genres of music (Electronica springs to mind) PC's are better due to a wider variety of available software, VSTi's and plugins. When I was playing in Germany (the home of electronic music), most of the house/trance/electro producers I saw were using PC's. Some of the software they were using just isn't available for Mac.

Yup. There are some that use Macs .. Tiesto comes to mind, but from what I've seen they generally use supercharged PCs. David Morales who owns Stereo Afterhours here uses a custom built Toshiba Satellite (might have been a different model, but looked similar) during his shows. For the longest time he wasn't a digital DJ though.
SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYESSS *Alabama accent*

LMFAO at Alabama accents. Have you seen "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"? THE WRONG KID DIED!! lol
David Morales is sick tho. Him, Hani, Roger Sanchez, Tony Moran and Frankie Knuckles were some of the first dance music producers I was exposed to, through the remixes they all did for MJ. When "HIStory" came out in '95 and then "Blood On The Dance Floor" in '97, I would buy all the CD singles as they came out as well as some of the vinyls and there'd always be loads of dance remixes of the songs by those guys and some others.

LOL @ The Dewey Cox story. I saw it for the first time a couple of months ago. I thought it would be shit, but I was gladly surprised.
Yah, Roger Sanchez is a great. He's still going hard, tours (He's like an honorary DJ at Ibiza's Pacha. He can walk in, whenever he wants, and they'll set him up without having to reserve a show lol) and releases a lot of material. It's not uncommon to see a track of his always popping out on Buuren's weekly State of trance. Morales has calmed down a bit though, he had a club in Toronto, but it closed, so he generally DJs here, but people still adore him. Best mixed compilation of his; Ministry of Sound: Sessions Seven (1997) :thumb:

Rukas: Casey is right bout the £400 laptop.
Casey: Windows stole everything from Mac, the whole invention of Windows was stolen from Apple when Bill Gates developed the Mac OS.
Just wanna point out neither Apple or Microsoft created the GUI OS. Xerox, the paper that make photocopiers, printers and paper, created it, as did they also created the Mouse. They sold everything to Apple and then BG was hired by Apple to develop the software from Xerox, and at the same time stole it and made Windows.

You're right about this in one way and wrong in another.
We're specifically talking about Mac OSX here, and OSX is not based on the original Apple operating system - everything up to OS9 was, but OSX is based on the software that Steve Jobs created at NeXT (the company he started after he was fired from Apple).
Since that point, Apple have taken many ideas from Microsoft, including:
The Finder Sidebar (first appeared in XP in 2001, showed up two years later on Mac OSX 10.3 Panther)
The Path Bar
Back and Forward buttons (like those in Web Browsers) in Folder systems - first appeared in Win2000, showed up later in OSX 10.2 Jaguar
Remote Desktop Connection - first showed up in XP, later showed up in OSX 10.5 Leopard. Microsoft even created a Mac version of RDC for free, before Apple wrote their own version.
Control Panel/System Preferences:
Alt-Tab shortcut to switch between running programs:
Realistically both companies have ripped off each other in lots of different ways though, there's no denying that.
Xerox definitely got fucked though, but Jobs claim that Windows directly ripped off Apple's software is dubious, because there's no evidence to substantiate that Bill was aware of what Apple were doing (he was never hired by them from what I can see). Let's not forget that Apple lost their infringement lawsuit against Microsoft.

Don't worry. It never deletes anything essential - trust me - I run it on literally a daily basis.
If you click "Analyse" it'll tell you what it's going to delete without deleting it, then you can do "Run Cleaner" to get rid of it. It's just stuff like temporary internet cache files, memory dumps, shit like that.
