I don't want to seem like a traitor, but I have to switch back to windows. In this crappy economy, I just cannot afford a $1000 laptop, when I can get something equal for half the price with Vista.
Your thoughts?
I'm going Vista myself, for other reasons though.
Don't forget the resale value of Apple is much higher than PCs.
...when I can get something equal for half the price with Vista.
LOL. Agreed. From all the issues and time trying to work with vista it's just not worth it.To OP, it's your money. Spend it whatever way you want. However, I personally disagree that anything can be equal when it has Vista in it. If it's XP? Maybe, but not Vista.
I have been a PC user since the Dos days, but Vista definitely was a deal breaker.
That's nice and all but they OP doesn't want to spend $1,300 for your perception of the afterlife.LOL. Agreed. From all the issues and time trying to work with vista it's just not worth it.
The thing is, you can go buy a pc for $600.00, but it breaks after a year. All those consumer Dell, Hp, Acer, Toshiba computers just aren't built like they used to be. Trying to get them fixed is a pain in the ass. Shipping them off to their warranty depots, waiting a couple months to get it fixed. East Indian tech support. Hmmm, $600 for crappy everything, $1300 for heaven. Heaven .

Vista works fine.
It's no OSX but this perception that Vista is some terrible OS is just false. I've been running vista for 2 years with almost no issues.

Heaven: "A condition or place of great happiness, delight, or pleasure: "The lake was heaven."". I wasn't referring to the after life.That's nice and all but they OP doesn't want to spend $1,300 for your perception of the afterlife.
I could go on and on why it's horrible. But there are many of those threads already. But, I was mainly referring to the PC experience I and many others have had before converting, not vista.I 2nd that. I own a pc with windows vista ultimate and it works excellent. I've had NO problems. Vista really dosent deserve the rep it has.

I have a new Macbook and a Penryn Macbook Pro, I also have a Vista desktop. I love them all.
Vista isn't bad at all guys. It has actually been very stable for me as well, stop paying attention to those commercials. We all loveproducts but let's be fair here.
As for the person who talked about Toshiba, HP, computers not built like they used to, I think you meant Apple instead. Apple built quality is awful, it's their design and perceived quality that people buy into. AppleCare is pretty good though, but most people don't buy the extended warranty for PCs.
