It's because Iris/Iris Pro graphics are not meant for heavy gaming.

Don't worry about it. OS X created the account. Its a limited account that guest users can use to access the internet but basically can't go further than that.

You can disable it if you want, just go to Setttings > Users & Groups. Unlock and alter the account as you wish.

I sync my company gmail account just for calendar to my MBP. Emails i just use web. Can save some storage space by this way i think. Because no need to download all attachments in the emails.

That's true about the space. I'll stick with using the web then. Thanks.

So far so good with Mac, had some trouble with PostgreSQL with me deleting the postgres user and all the permission go haywire even after installing postgresapp. Sad case. I'm not so sure how to clean install it, re-installing using homebrew doesn't seems to clear the previous data somehow.

For MAC, no need for anti virus. Apple will provide updates from time to time to handle issues like these. However softwares to remove and check for adware is a must though.

Antivirus is useful if you work across OS X and Windows OS, but having antivirus on OS X could cause problems too.

I would recommend to build a hackint0sh if you can if you are very serious about having a high-end desktop that can run OSX and pick up a copy of OSX - then you can have something light as air if you want to code something quick

That'll be great. Will go to All IT and buy the adapters and wireless mouse since the apple mouse doesn't support Windows.

It does work anyway, apple mouse works with windows - its just that you don't get fancy scrolls and all

FYI I am using apple mouse in windows and it is working well
