My Bud has it running on his Intel/Mac he was surprised how easy it was, he was expecting driver issues but had none.

Yeah right. I said that when I had Win 98
They will phase out XP and then no updates.

I've been using Vista since I bought my computer, and it's been waaaaaaay better (and exceptionally more stable) than any computer I've spent any time on that used XP.

That said, I'm buying a Mac very soon. And this is the first I've heard of Windows 7... thanks for the heads up!

HUHH??? Vista crashes and hangs more than any OS in the past. XP was way better IMO

Well, Windows ME was probably worse From a support side, we do have a lot more issues deploying Vista, mostly due to drivers. We're also implementing Bit Locker, which presents a whole new set of problems.
As a factory install, Windows 7 does seem to appear more robust than Vista.

LOL, I suppose you installed on an older XP machine? Wouldn't surprise me if you had problems... like when people went from 95 to 98, 98 to ME, ME to XP... etc etc. I had issues going from 3.11 to 95, too.

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.

Can't go wrong with a Mac. I have been using Apples since I was like 3 years old and would take one over a Windows machine any day.
