Intel iMac Performance SUCKS!

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: ravenz Saturday, January 21 2006 @ 08:06 AM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I purchased this after buying an Intel iMac, as OpenOSX made the following claim on their website: "Our WinTel product built for the new Intel based Macs runs Windows(R) within Mac OS X offering performance we have always dreamed of: nearly native." This is blatantly false advertising that should get them investigated by the FTC.

Installing Windows XP on my Intel iMac took...17 hours! No joke. Booting Windows XP takes...5 minutes! When I move the mouse, there is a 3-second delay. Windows is entirely unusable on an Intel iMac.

DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE.
