I been having Vista on my Laptop since I bought it 5 months ago and it hasn't given me a problem at all...

The thing with any Windows install is that it needs a bit of TLC and expertise to keep it running smoothly and install well. All the Windows installs I've done are usually pretty custom.

OS X has the advantage of being designed for the hardware it runs on, i.e. there's only a small pool of components that need support.

Windows has to support hundreds of thousands of devices either out of the box or with a driver install. And not all of those drivers are 'certified' to work.

It sounds like a PIBCAK error

I am glad I hevn't had to use this shite as of yet cause all I've heard since I first heard about vista has been headaches. Hopefully, when I do have to switch I can switch to a Mac. :-\

All depends really. I mean, price-wise, Macs are, well, costly.

I'm inclined these days to go Mac since a lot of the apps I'm using, like the whole Adobe Creative Suite, just run much more reliably on the Mac architecture.

But if I was just to need a computer for dicking around online and banging out a document, I'd get a $200 PC and load it up with Ubuntu.

The state of some Linux distros is as such nowadays that you can sit someone down at it and they'll be happy. Happy that it's so dang cheap and reliable. The $200 or $100 PC will not be running OS X or Vista, that's for damn sure.

Girl u hear too many things..lol

I dont understand why does it always have to become a Windows Vs. Mac or Mac Vs. Windows issue.


It really comes down to the end user, if you have a Windows Operating System then make sure to familiarize yourself with researching or troubleshooting, problems dont just happen by themselves.

its all about logic, within every problem there is a solution. If your someone who cant troubleshoot an issue then a Mac is for you. A friendly GUI environment with vertical integration where everything will be done for you before you even turn on the computer.

i have 5 computers all running Windows XP and have never had an issue.... I just upgraded one of my computers to the Vista and have not had any issues with it. I have heard that Vista has a few problems, but thats with anything related to technology.

I dislike the extra security they put on it. Just more hoops for knowledgeable users to have to jump through.
