Ok aside from that being completely incoherrent I ask again what the hell do you people do that reqires such unbelievable processor power. They animate tv shows and movies on MACS under tight time deadlines with heavier processor requirements than most of you can conceive of using.
The thing about Viruses, forget about that mith, might have been true once but not anymore, MAC will get viruses, they are not invisable machines and their code is not written by an imortal.Ok I'm not even going to bother with the poor spelling and poor grammar anymore, its everywhere. How is it a myth if your own statement implies that mac viral infections are coming in the FUTURE. PC's are a greater target for viruses and will always be, in the future viruses will diminish as operating systems become designed to internally thwart virus attacks. This will apply to all, by the way, in the mean time you are still way safer with a MAC, FACT
Software cabailities, big issue. You wont find out how big the issue is untill you get the MAC. Even simple software that you would think is universal is not there for MAC. I had a MAC about a year ago, for about 2 months, and gave it away as a present cauze it sucked so much, couldnt get any software for it, that i needed, only some gay video software. What kind of ghey software were you looking for? a meatspin screen saver? You're going to need to elaborate. You might have an easier time finding the software you need if you took your head out of your ass.
I did like their user interface, but Vista is matching that rite now. Donno how much vista is an improvement over XP but so far it seems like alot. There will be patches and things coming out probably to fix small things, just like in a first year model car/truck. Funny when apple releases a new version of OS people race to embrace it when windows does they cringe. You've already admitted that XP needed improvement and that vista will be full of bugs, oh boy I can't wait to run out and put that junk in my computer.
My school just upgraded 7 of the 30 some laboratories to Vista and they are booked all the time, the XP labs and the 4-5 MAC labs are almost empty. I used Vista several days ago, and it is much faster at loading programs compared to XP, it looks better, and apperantly it is safer (for some). Viruses are nothing to worry about if you know how to protect yourself. On my other computer I have absolutely no antivisrus or antispyware program installed and have not received a virus ever. (I do an internet scan once in a while so that I know).You're fine use of the english language and your exemplary spelling suggest that we should not be impressed by the decisions made at your school.
So my advise is if you have used windows, get a Vista Premium computer and enjoy, you wont be dissapointed. Im looking at some HPs rite now cauze im palnning on buyng too, and they are awsome.
