Always start at the end and read backwards. It's the thing in the electronic age. Don't believe me? Check your e-mail. wink.gif

why switch to a *worse* version of Mac OS copied by a competitor, that was messed up to be insecure and unstable, when you're already using basically the same thing?

Apparently, part of the 'innovation' of Vista is to switch to a red screen of death! Wow! Now that's innovation! I guess the blue screens were too soothing and didn't get the respect that Mr. Bill deserves. dntknw.gif Now, PAY ATTENTION! rant.gif

It's a good read and he make some good points. The Dell and bottom vented laptops are a drag. I also agreed with him about Windows Media Player 11, which I run in MS XP pro, on the virtual side. Very nice!!

Having both in the macBook would be optimal, as I find out time and time again that there are just some programs, like Webex, that just run better on a PC.

What MS did with Vista, selling it in grades from $150 to $450, should make having both affordable for those who need it.

The competition is GOOD, keeps the creative juices flowing.  eusa_dance.gif
