They should have just called it windows 2008 and not modified the Shell too much. Srsly vista is fine I have been using it for a while now and I have encountered no problems at all. Adapt or go to linux/mac. I recommend linux though because mac is an absolute piece of **** OS much worse than windows. I know a lot about using mac (I know some scripting, etc) but I still feel like a disabled ****** when i use mac. Sorry if I say anything messed up im drunk right now. You'd have to be drunk to think OSX is crap. OSX has the best learning curve of all the OSes on the market. Plus it has virtually no bugs, and the support is amazing. There's basically an app for any app that Windows has. If you REALLY knew anything about using a Mac, you wouldn't be feeling disabled unless you ARE. And the crazy thing is, DISABLED PEOPLE CAN USE MACS TOO! Thank you, have a nice day. MACs = Computer for Dummies. This is the reason MAC exists. Now, as a tinker, I hate MAC. I can see Windows, rip it apart make it look completely different. MACs aren't so easily manipulated. Why? This is so the user doesn't damage something they shouldn't. MACs are GREAT for average people who know little of the intracasies or abilities of software. but for an explorer like me...it's a hell of a restraint. I'd rather Linux or Windows...depending on the job. |

I'd rather Linux or Windows...depending on the job. Ummmm I use a Mac day to day, and I would not consider myself a dummy. What you are talking about it changing the look and feel, hardly technical stuff. "Look ma, I done made my task bar red." With a Mac you can customise almost everything to do with the look and feel, aside from the three buttons on every window title (you can have colours or grey (graphite). As OSX is Unix based, it is a lot lot more powerful than windows for tinkers. You can run X11 and most Unix / Linux apps through MacPorts. You can run services properly. There are proper permissions. You can use bash scripts and cron jobs. The list goes on and on. I use Windows for Testing, Mac for day to day stuff and Linux for my servers (and some BSD). Although my heart solely rests with Linux, I still resent being called a dummy for choosing to use a Mac for my day to day computing. Ta, Chris. |

Windows...is also Unix based. Not many know this but the beginning of 90% of operating systems is Unix. Linux, MAC, and Windows ALL share this.
Windows has limitations, but flexiblity in a software sense. MAC was designed with ease of use in mind. It is indeed an extremely powerful system, but I note that there is a rather limited selection of software compared to Linux or Windows. On the other note, I was not calling people dummies. I making the reference to the " XXXX for Dummies" titles we see. Which are very good books by the way. Linux, probably the most flexible of all systems software-wise and DEFINATELY the most secure. I personally favor the Fedora flavor, but always willing to try new ones. Also, software is plentiful and Linux is pretty much immune to viruses. It's weakness is learning it can be difficult for some. Linux has my heart! ...I've many operating systems in my arsenal to choose from... MS DOS, Windows 3.1, 98, XP, Vista, Fedora, Unbuntu, Red Hat, Freespire, SUSE, Slackware, Chubby Puppy, SOL 25, and MAC version... 5 I believe... Linux replaced my MAC a LONG time ago. I believe your OS is your choice. But research them all and have fun messing with them. |

You CAN put windows xp back onto it... you just need to find where to get the xp disk... XP PRO is the easiest... you can even download the files you need to burn to a disk so you have your own pro disk for free... there are even cd keys on google. they work and there are back doors to getting the updates and everything.. trust me... been there done them all...
