alright we get it. You hate OS X. Why do you hang around this forum if you hate Macs so much? Get a life...
Wouldn't be if you'd stop spreading lies about Vista
He's not lying, he's giving his opinion.
Vista has sold well because PCs sell well. It's what comes on 90% of new PCs. Unfortunately MS propaganda doesn't say how many of those people "downgraded" to XP after buying the PC.
Vista is painfully slow on 1GB. XP and Windows 7 run well on 1GB. What does that tell you about Vista? Of all the netbooks being sold, only one comes preloaded with Vista (by HP, ironically enough). The rest are all XP or Linux. Why? Because Vista is a pig.
Even MS realizes this, and one of the main points of 7 is to remove the bloat. The head of Windows 7 development even has 7 running on a netbook with 1GB of RAM. Like I said, even MS is quick to abandon your precious Vista, because it's a pig.
I already explained my OS X crashes. Random tasks with OS X crashing at random times. Sometimes not even doing anything at all and OS X would crash.
The other poster here, however, claims that Notepad brought down Vista which brought down Fusion. Fusion crashing itself (not just the OS within) means that Fusion crashed. Not Vista.
Try to know what you're talking about next time, okay?
I actually do know what I'm talking about, unlike yourself. I actually have seen an OS crash VMWare (Workstation in that case). Just because it's Vista doesn't mean it's automatically VMWare's fault. Of course you're too much of a fanboy to realize how an OS could crash VMWare (or any other virtualization platform) but that's okay, I know you lack the real world experience with these things.
I'm sorry to inform you HPs crack as well. Add that to failed USB ports, bad motherboards failed LCD cables due to poor hinge design, failed phase inverters, etc. all happen too. You'd know that, if you actually had any real world experience, with more than 4 computers.
Absolutely the funniest part of your post. No IT administrator is avoiding Vista like the plague, right?
If you must know, I'm 32. About the same age as you, IIRC. I also work on Windows XP, 2003, and 2008 EVERYDAY. I work on linux workstations and servers EVERYDAY. I work on Macs EVERYDAY. I work on hypervisor-based virtualization platforms such as Xen and ESX EVERYDAY.
But yeah, I'm a horrible Apple fanboy. That's why I use all OS's.
I bet he didn't even read the references to my posts, he just said user error like Ballmer. figures...
Also, its funny how he defends Vista so much. If Vista is as great as it sounds, then why is Microsoft so desperate to push out Windows 7? Why is Microsoft not letting Vista settle itself down like XP? Cause it sucks... and Microsoft knows it.

Yes, Vista is fantastic, no one's having problems:

Yup, they're selling tons of Vista licenses. It's a success!

My Macbook is my first Mac as well and I love it. The OS is really great and I've not had any crashes or freezing yet. Surprisingly, to me, the touch pad has become something I truly love and feels like something I can't do without now. Swiping your fingers to do different things is quick and convenient. I think I've been converted to Mac.
I am not offended. I am a regular on all kinds of forums. It is just a part of forum life. lol Fanboys are everywhere, threads get derailed but I still love reading them. Sometimes there is a sliver of truth in all the nonsense.
Would disabling UAC be a good idea? I seem to remember you basically saying that only idiots would do that.
You have random crashes - don't make out that your experience is that of the masses, unless you can quote some numbers from a reliable and respectable source. And there goes you accusing others of spreading FUD over Vista.
How did your MB repair go ?
I second this. I have ran vista on a 2.0ghz desktop with 1 gb of ram and dual monitors for almost 2 years. I did finally upgrade the ram recently and it definitely made the games run much smoother but I didn't have any major problems with Vista. Actually the only issue I ever had with it was with file permissions on a couple things that I was transferring from an XP machine. I never had issues with it crashing or freezing. That being said I have never had issues with OS X crashing or freezing either. I do prefer OS X which is lucky for Mac because my HP nc8430 had a much better screen and way better build quality then my previous Macbook. I'm just hoping that my new alum macbook is better than the last one or I may be one of the few ppl that switches back to PC after going mac.
Agreed, XP Pro is a very solid OS, and I use it daily for work that requires stability & reliability. I can't stand the FUD that is spread about windows sometimes.
That being said, I like OS X and I like my macbook as well.
