Hi,

I doubt that Vista is the best OS that is out there. I don't deny its a quite good of an OS, but it does not seems to be better than Mac in many area. Get a look at http://itcomparison.com/OS/MacvsVista/macvsvista.htm

where they compare the two. I can see many areas in there where Vista still need to improve.

Enjoy,

Windows Vista vs Windows XP & the MAC World

I have been on Windows sense Windows 95 and I'm from the Hood " I PUSH MY MACHINES TO THE LIMITS"

and I understand the true value of Windows Vista.

From it's Smarter Navigation system to is's sleek semi transport installed screens.

The stereo type of saying A new operating system has alot of bugs is out the window with Windows vista.

WINDOWS VISTA VS WINDOWS XP

XP ruled back in it's day but remember when it came out, it had the same problems vista did for the first few years, but everyone loved it!

As like the earlier years of windows. The newer operating system has old the good perks the old one had but with more horse power under the hood! Windows vista is Windows XP reborn.

Windows Vista VS MAC

Mac lovers are very closed minded I tell you.

The reason why Macs don't have alot of viruses is simple, NOBODY IS CREATING VIRUS TO ATTACK THE MAC OS. WHY "COMMON SENSE" The Majority of the world is running on Windows.

The applications are all the same, and take alook around you... "what do you see in all electronic stores" P.C.S "not because they are cheap, they are effective!!!

REMEMBER MAC LOVERS, APPLE FILED FOR BACKRUPCY YEARS AGO "Why is that" hmmmmmmmmmmm

If Microsoft owns about 48% of Apples share, what makes you think is far more superior...

FINAL

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW YOU USE YOUR WORKSTATION.

Windows worksations are designed with alot of features that makes the workflow fast and smooth, the right click feature allows a user to open and close programs, create files, in just about any type of open window, even if your in a saving window.

Free your mind from the Matrix way of thinking and you Windows Vista to it's fullest remastered powers...

I have and Windows Vista is the Ultimate Operating System to date for real professionals who needs a systematic operating system

"Windows Vista has turned into a phenomenal product . . . far, far better than any other software available today, in my opinion. . . . I suggest everyone go out and get it as soon as you can. It's that good."

Yes, I agree! But hasn't it been available for a long time? I remember buying it in 2005 or so, but I think it was called "Mac OS X 10.4" back then.

Tftis is a rant. I’m sorry.

I am not sure how the company last sight of what matters to our customers (both

business and home) the most, but in my view we lost our way. I think our teams

lest sight of what bug-free means, what resilience means, what full scenarios mean,

what secur~ty means, what performance means, how important current applications

are, and really understanding what the most important problems are customers face

are. I see lots of random features and some great vision, but that doesn’t

translate tnto great products.

I would buy a Mao today if I was not working at Microsoft. :f you run the

equivalent of VPC on a MAC you get access to casioally all Windows application

software (although not the hardware) . Apple did not lose their way. You must

watch this new videc helow. I know this doesn’t show anything for businesses, but

my point is about the philosophy that Apple uses. They think scenario. They think

simple. They think fast. I know there is nothing hugely deep in this.

tttp: //www. apple. oom/ilife/videc/ilifeO432C.htm.l

I must tell you everything in my soul tells me that we should do what I called plan

~b) yesterday. We need a simple fast storage system. LH is a pig and I don’t see

any solution to this problem. If we are to rise to the chsllenqe of Linux and

Apple, we need to start takrng the lessons of “scenario, simple, fast” to heart.

All you need is Parallels running on OS X and you're set. All you need to run those pesky Windows apps you can't get let go. Live in a better world. Vista is the new Classic.

Nice back peddling Mr. Allchin. Of course you would like to buy a Mac. They work.

Can't wait to get my Apple TV hooked up to my HDTV and my Mac Mini. Maybe I'll use my XP box for network storage.

Hope they don't pay you in stock?

I have always found the Mac vs. Windows debate to be a tempest in a teapot. Why does one system have to prevail? Is chocolate better than vanilla? Both Apple and Microsoft have made errors along with their brilliant moves. I have to laugh at Windows users who are flummoxed by the Mac GUI- they are so similar. Vista is gorgeous, and it has clearly borrowed from Apple's ideas. Gadgets and widgets, finder and explorer, and you can now beat the computer at chess on a Mac or a PC! I applaud Microsoft's moves and Jim Allchin's candor, thanks for doing this blog. And I hope that Apple continues to flourish and develop their platform and not put all their eggs into the iPod basket.

ALso re the hardware specs: if what the MAC people are saying is true that MAC OS X can run on much lower level hardware, why cant my 'standard model' be the same?

1.This topic began as a sort of explanation regarding Jim's comment expressing self criticism re windows and his desire to buy a mac if he weren't part of MS, so how did this thread turn to an argument over over Mac Vs. Vista's hardweare specs and which is better?

2.I began using a Windows 3.1 pc when i was three years old. I'm now 15. I have seen mac and used it once. (At the N.Y. sate Lego Robotics competition. {My group forgot to bring a computer to program the robot})

I have friends who have used Mac, Linux and FreeBSD. I have used Linux (ubuntu) on my own PC for a period and then switched back to what I had previously (Windows XP SP1) because my own Computer doesn't have an internet connection (for personal reasons) and I find Linux to be too internet dependant. Let me say this: I think that now that wonderful (take the word 'wonderful' any way you want)

people such as Mr. Bill Gatews and Mr. Steve Jobs have pioneered the Computer industry, especially re operating systems, why can't someone step up and, based on thier work, create a Standard Operating System (SOS) (FROM THE BOOTLOADER UP)that would be able to run all file formats (whether it be a .BIN file or a .EXE etc) and would have 2 versions The GUI or The Command Line, and be customizable to look and feel like the current sdtandards?

3.Linux is a bunch of MAC wannabes by nature. Linux was based on UNIX. If I had to guess which OS looks more like Linux (Win or MAC) I would say that linux has a MAC-ish feel.

Look, I've been born and bred on windows, but I think that ,unless Vista is close to perfect (nothing's perfect), It's time for a change.
