I suppose it helps that all the software on this computer is newer. I wouldn't want to go through the trouble to get a legacy program to work on a Windows machine, it's just not worth it. Unless you have thousands of dollars in old software...

Yup, definitely buying a Mac. I'm just tired of MS products.

Um, NO! Brand new laptop and it SUX. Slow, hang's, locks up. Alot of functionality that I used to have is GONE. One example is the "what you hear" setting for audio and when I host a online radio show. Can't do it with Vista, because I cant hook a Mic AND play music up without external electronics added. I am downgrading to XP real soon. I've had enough!

My computer also takes FOREVER to boot as well



Brad, are you a programmer or work for MS?

No, I'm with an IBM company. We manage about 35,000 desktops, so I get lots of Windows experience :)

Hello,

Yeah Windows rocks in the corporate environment. UNIX and Mac OS doesn't even come close. I work on Sun OS all the time. When we do an upgrade on the hardware box that comes with a newer Sun OS, the application may not be compatible with it. You don't usually see this happening with Windows with enterprise software. Worst, you just build it again in VS. Also, some Linux/UNIX commands aren't running the way I've expected them to be. Again, this never happens with Windows. Also, Windows allow you to push out policies and manage domain or users much more easier. For Intranets that are authenticating users via Kerberos, Windows is better here too. For setting up clusters, Windows have the tools all built in to the server. With UNIX, you need to get Veritas. The list goes on.

PS. I'm a Windows person.

Titus
