:rotf: Thank God I stuck with XP, while all the Vista guinea pigs continue to suffer through all the various patches and such.

Tell me about it -- I switched to Vista and what a mistake that was.

Do you still have it, or did you switch back?

That was pretty damned funny! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

No, I still have it. The desktop is mostly used by my wife and she doesn't want to change back, since she is afraid that things that she is using might not work. Its OK, just slow and irritating.

Here are a couple of "improvements" I've noticed...
There's no more Run option on the Vista start menu. You have to hit Win-R. :bird:
When you Alt-Tab between screens, the CPU-hogging animation of flipping screens locks up your PC. :bird:
If you hover over a link too long, it opens the damn thing for you. :bird:

Now I am especially glad I still have XP! :rotf:

Microsoft Vista is the best sales tool for Mac OSX I've ever seen.
I went to a company I'm considering moving to over lunch yesterday and I was surprised to see half of the people there were using Mac's. 2 years ago this would have been unheard of. But everyone all the way up to the President was on Mac's.
I thought Mac was dead a few years back... but I think more people are starting to see the light and Vista has gone a long way in showing people that light.
...and I especially love it when Bill Gates gets his chops busted on CNN. :D

The CEO of Apple deserves every single penny of the millions he's earning. I wish like hell I would have bought Apple when it was at 14 dollars. iPods, iMacs, iTunes, iPhones, Leopard, that's a way to turn a company around.

So true... I wish I had moved all of my stock to Apple too... but who knew? Just 5 years ago I joked with my PC buddies how Mac sucked and they should just hurry up and die.
Today I've completely switched to Mac at work and at home. A few weeks ago I made the final step and turned my Dell 9100 off for the last time and replaced it with an iMac 2.8ghz Extreme with 4gig of RAM. I'm completely sold on the new Mac's and the Intel processors.
I think the smartest thing Jobs ever did was to ditch Motorola and go Intel. That's what made me buy my first Mac 1.5 years ago... the promise of OSX running side by side with XP. While the first few months of owning my MacBook I had an XP partition, I soon deleted it and bought Parallels for those few legacy apps.
This is what my home office looks like now:

Gates really is a true visionary. Here he pretty much predicted the future.

Damn except for the desk...that could be my computer set up.
Right down to the case for the MacBook.
Just got my iMac (20" 2.4ghz on Friday)

IMHO where most Windows users are running into problems is trying to use Vista...a very processor/graphics/ram intensive OS on 3 and 4 year old systems.
I'd be willing to bet a lot of the systems are early Pentium 4 (1.5 - 2.0 ghz) systems with 512 of ram and 64mb video cards.
Vista it seems needs a LOT more than that to run.
I saw the same kind of problem when I worked at Best Buy and people were going from Win 95 to XP.
Vista is going to force people to either see the light and buy a Mac :-) or scrap their current systems and buy brand new machines so that Vista runs properly.

I run Linux on my Mac too... in a window of course.

OSX is the ultimate Unix platform. The others try to be as easy to use as OSX, but to date I've not found a Linux distribution that even comes close to the ease of use that OSX offers.
