windows 7 is by far better than vista IMO

If you haven't done so, do yourself a favour and watch these Apple - Get a Mac - Watch the TV Ads

The latest one entitled Customer Care just about sums up any support line for a large business.

Yes, I know it is Windows bashing, but if you watch them for the entertainment value alone they are still very funny

Need reinforcements mate

Apple revealed today that their new OS due in September will occupy half the footprint of their current OS. So upgrade and have an extra 6gb on your hard disk to play with

Also if you buy a new mac between now and when the new OS arrives in Sept you'll only pay $14.95 to upgrade. If you have any other mac with the current Leopard on the upgrade will be less than $50.

Turned off all the Aero stuff in Vista.

Now it's slow and looks like ****.

Maybe I should close down a couple of browser windows, 200 atm.

Just installed vista. 226 meg in updates so far.

Vista.

It is a pig. Granted it has some nice features, but overall it is a pig, with way too many things being incompatable. Stuff that would work fine on anything form Win 98 to XP just will not work on Vista. Biggest pain is my Sony Camcorder will not work via firewire to Vista or XP, so now the Sony DV Camcorder is not worth a pos. MS blame Sony, Sony blame MS but there is no resolution for it and apparentlly this has been known about for some time. Many other programs that also have no or limited us with Vista, I do not mind upgrading to better OS, but having to upgrade everything is just plain ransom. Another example is MS Office premium does not work properly and all MS say is you should upgrade. Well sorry but at another cost of $1k plus I think not.
Not to mention how resource hungry it is.
I did survive SP2 though.

I think Vista like WindowsME will be one swept under the carpet and forgotten about.

Quad 2.8.

No Vista gripes here, but I have canned IE8. Keeps jumping to 100% cpu usage and seizing my system.

Always liked the Fox better anyhow.

Will probablly fork over the $ for Windows 7.

Yep Gates has got us again, released a POS version that does not work properly and is incompatable with a large % of software and hardware, so we have to upgrade yet again. God I miss the simplicity of Windows 98 and wish I had a full working copy of XP.
