Kool Keith Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've had Vista beta running on a spare box here at home for few weeks... It's extremely buggy right now, but, it's still a beta. Also, it's painfully slow. I've turned off all the FX doodads and it's helped, but you can see the draws on the screen if you start moving too fast... P4 2.4, 1G, yada yada.... PS...I'm not a M$ beta tester. It's out there...you just have to look. It's user friendly-enough to be played with, as long as you have your own XP discs and can wipe your HD if you fuck up. Vista will be cool, but we won't see it until 07... Hmmmm.... Let me rephrase. Vista is cool. If for some reason it's availible before 07 and you purchase it... you are asking for trouble. Let the early adopters be the real-world testers for M$. Wait for 6 months of updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS just does it better. [/quote] MS doesn't do it better. They managed to market it better. I own 3 Windows PCs and a Mac (gonna switch one Windows box over to Ubuntu to finally learn Linux). The Mac OS truly is better than Windows. I'm honestly shocked anyone would argue otherwise. However, Windows machines are just so cheap and easy to build, it's impossible to live without one. Every piece of software under the sun exists for Windows, and each application is fighting for a piece of the pie with a hundred other applications just like it... If I were to compare the two OS's to something, I would say the Mac OS is like Wild Oats, and Windows is like Biggs. Wild Oats truly has better products, but it has fewer choices, and is on the expensive side. Biggs, even the Hyde Park Biggs, isn't as nice, doesn't have the same polish, or gourmet variety, but has has oodles of different products, and is the cheapest thing in town... I go to Wild Oats (or Jungle Jims) for some of the finer things, but run my every day life through Biggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i think thats kind of what everyone thinks. the hatred of them comes strictly from the trendoids who have a mac for no particular reason, if your not doing graphic design or video editing or something of the sort, why did you spend $2500 on a PC for no reason. when you could have got something just the same for your needs for $650. 53.78% of mac users got it cause its sweet looking and want to be diferent. not knowing or utilizing the benifits of the machines. the normal Macs on the market and normal PC's cant be compared, yet for 1/2 the Mac cost you could build a PC just as fast and powerful. not to mention the software benifits. and if you continue to have problems with cirus' and pc security, then its operator error at this point. i have norton and it has kept me ultra clean, $40/yr it auto updates and scans everyday, i never have problems, if you cant browse without infecting yourself, you should get offline. which leaves the benifits of the mac pretty minimal especially for the price tag attached. its kinda like buying a porsche for your 16 yr old son to learn to drive on. "why?" if i were a rich man, i would likely still buy a PC, just for the ease of finding software to "try out" and so on. i would probably own a mac to do video editing and dvd burning on..... but thats probably it.

See to me its all about the people who will be programming software to run on your OS as a great OS means nothing without a slew of great software. And MS does a 10 billion times better job than Apple of documenting their way of things than Apple does. Hell just look at their developer sites. Apple is comming along in this area, but they still arent where MS is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
