Of course as with all IT people we always think our way is right even when there usually is 10 other ways that get to the same location just fine.

That being said....

MAC/Apples suck, although just because the common business market place today runs on IBM compatible machines which of course trickles down to the end user. Security is the best here, because hackers tend to stay mainstream.

Security within in Windows however can be quite complex especially for the average user, but I wouldn't go so far as to say hacked out of the box.

Microsoft thinking sensibly and cheap?

Vista is perfectly find if you know how to trim the fat, although it's encumber some?

All programs are currently working fine for the 32bit version of Windows 7. It's the 64bit where you find yourself thinking of alternatives.

What are you people doing not running the Windows 7RC client while it's free anyways?

Have fun,
