I read the article you posted and noted the reference to Apple. Having just purchased my first Mac (my PC friends told me--the not so literate computer guy that the learning curve would make my Mac so entirely frustrating that I would soon come back to PC. Yeah, plug in, turn on, have fun really was tough) I can understand the frustration a lot of people are having with Vista. It has been a mess. And that is not bias. That is working for a company whose own IT manager stated when asked if the company would be converting to Vista anytime soon, "Are you F'n crazy--I would like to keep my job."
Five years in R&D and it's an OS most won't run and some cannot run. No words indeed. -Drew |

Five years in R&D and it's an OS most won't run and some cannot run. I was convinced Microsoft was not the way to go back in 1999, when I got my first dsl circuit. I took all of my junk components and installed RedHat 6.2 on it, a 133 mhz 486 underclocked to 90 mhz. It dogged my windows 98 system, which was running at 500mhz. Needless to say, 6 out of 7 computers here run a linux distro, with the only reason the 7th is an MS product being because Intuit doesn't support linux. I haven't written an MS compatible program in 8 years now, with no regrets. |

The one that works the best for the *individuals* purpose. I use Red Hat at home. I have Vista on the new work machine, and XP on my personal travel laptop. Now, don't know if I will be keeping Vista on the work machine - but the others do exactly what I need, when I need. Now, if Mac does it for you, and you get along well with it - then sounds like the right choice. |

Now, if Mac does it for you, and you get along well with it - then sounds like the right choice. No, it's all good. I'm not anti-PC--used XP for years with not much in the way of an issue but I decided to try a Mac and it works. At work I use my PC and have no problems. I just know that a lot of folks are not all that thrilled with Vista. Some of that was partner drivers not being ready but some of it had to do with the complexity of the OS and the fact that people were having to add significant RAM to see it work right. But like I mentioned--I use both and both serve their purpose. -Drew |
