Descalzo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'll be honest: I mostly use mine to dink around! I also like it better than Windows for everything but gaming. And I like OSX better for Blizzard games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr3z3rburn Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i use my hackintosh for everything basically. I only have Winblows because i am required to for my engineering class. Funny thing is, windows is only on my real mac, not my hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebit Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Everything. Ranging from plain i-net surfing, downloads, office applications to serious stuff like audio editing & music composition with Peak Pro & Cubase 4. It's equipped with a second hand Cinema HD 23", Aluminum Keyb, Mighty Mouse and iSight. From time to time I forget it's not an Apple made Mac.

hnzw_rui Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Currently don't use it. I installed it to familiarize myself with the OS since I wanted to get an iMac. Still not very productive in it (shortcut keys are killing me) and I'm in the middle of a couple of projects so I'm ignoring it in favor of Windows for the time being.

El Massman Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 absolutely everything. i haven't used windows in as long as i can remember. internet, media, word-processing, multitrack audio recording. even have it connected to my main tv and running plex as a media center. best media set up i've come across. i think the real question is... what don't you use your hack for? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusrayne Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I use my hackintosh to tell everyone how much this hell hole fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelkahl Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I use mine for every day computing...honestly I got everything working that I use. Here's the list. Music / iPhone management Internet surfing World of Warcraft School work Digital Photography / Raw photo editing Showing off That is the short list. I did the same thing I did when I learned Linux, I completely dumped Windows and worked till I had everything working. My problem with Linux was I tinkered to much, was tired of Flash issues on 64bit OS, & it just wasn't as good for my digital photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddjc Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I use my hackintosh to tell everyone how much this hell hole fails. LOL!!!! +I use my fake mac to use Aperture 2, and every time I boot back to Windows XP... I realize how unrefined windows is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazydance Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 LOL!!!! +I use my fake mac to use Aperture 2, and every time I boot back to Windows XP... I realize how unrefined windows is. Same here about that {censored} windows story! Running iDeneb V1.3 and using Adobe CS4 most of the time, since i do not have windows installed i'm actually doing anything with OSX.. (Funny fact, in Dutch windows is often said as windhoos, which is english for tornado.. which ofcourse is a disaster, just like windows!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
