hmm I have three computers running vista, a desktop that is never shut off, my new laptop which is never shut off, and my old laptop is running it now. never had a problem with anyof them so I don't know how you can say vista is a problem. it is slower than people would like but the most friendlyest software there has been untill win7.

also your test you linked to is garbage, everthing he does in win 7 has to go through a subset of instructions and drivers to make it work with the mac hardware.. thing that might slow it down a bit? the author even says multiple times that it is a unfair test for win 7. you need to start reading things befor you link to them, as all the stuff you have posted so far just show how apple users will fuge numbers to make the apples look way better. wanna see something impressive.. try find a copy of BEOS 5 and install it on your mac, or a PC as it will run properly on any platfor from a clean state. it will make both win 7 and snow lepard look like slugs. problem was BEOS fell victom to Linux Warp OS2 and Win95 advertizing campains but it is still one of the best OSs I have ever played with. only problem is that after spending over 23mill fighting MS in court they went bankrupt.

as for more intuitive.. I guess if you have never had a computer mac might seem more simple.. if you have been using a PC for 20 years it wouldn't.. I found it weird and not very intuitive so that argument is a to each his own and what one person finds simple another doesn't. personaly I don't see how you can get any more simple than clicking on a icon, or if there is a program you don't use very often, you hit start then click on the name of the program.. hmm guess that isn't obvious to some people.
