Vista... again ... should be Hasta la Vista then?

[The_Unbeliever]

Vista, it seems, is on a slippery slide downhill...

Have a shufti here.

Are you using OSX on a PC? If so do you know where i can buy a copy?

http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ does it for me

 

[JStrike]

zerofocus : Nope. And it isn't and wont ever be available for PC
You can get an illegal hacked version that will run on a PC though. But rather buy a mac

But thats cosmetic only right?

Well get ready for XP Reloaded .

And to be honest ... the new interface (Aero Glass) is not compelling enough of a reason to upgrade yet.

 

[oober]

I read somewhere Microsoft is renaming Vista to Vista Forever

 

[JStrike]

tibby.dude : XP Reloaded! Haha

That basically sums it up. What was originally planned for Vista would have brought it similar features to OSX (albeit OSX a couple of years ago). The current feature set just makes Vista a slightly bettter XP

Dont really need 10 - one will do me fine - Security.

But you can add on stability and GUI.

I'll sit in front of the PC later and give you the other 7.

For me though its just horses for courses.

I gotta agree with killadoob.

Bwana, besides "user-friendliness" OSX has nothing on other OS'es. The security argument is quite lame, as the number of problems detected and/or exploited in an OS are exponentially related to the OS'es user base. If the same amt of ppl were using OSX as Doze, then there woulod be the same amount of issues.

The issue that I have with Macs is there extremely overpriced hardware. Otherwise OSX is really awesome, but since it is so problematic to run it on a normal PC it looses al sense in using it, since the cost of mac hardware is highly insane.

And why is it always somebody against Windows. Why doesnt anybody ever compare OSX to Linux???

So more users means more problems? You'd think that even with the minuscule user base [sic] there would a least be a half dozen viruses. Out of the box OsX is more secure than XP. Do care if some of this security is derived from being less popular and therefore less of a target than windows? Nope.

The issue that I have with Macs is there extremely overpriced hardware.

The new intel Macs let you run both XP and OsX. Thats something I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for. (I dont buy my Macs locally because quite frankly they're a rip off.) I wont even go into the whole aesthetics arena - but hey I'm shallow - looks are icing on the cake

I have a PC and I have a couple powerbooks and an iBook - the right tools for the job. I do my work with the macs and I play games on the windoze pc.

Will I upgrade the pc in the future - nah - I'd rather spend the money on an xbox 360. After that I'll pick up a intel Mac mini and run bootcamp. Then I'll have a box to learn to either love or hate Linux on.

I dont hate PCs and I dont think Macs are infallible - I just prefer them. I'm allowed to right??
