Windows 7

Likewise.....I also use the 32-bit version of Vista and have had no issues.....it took a bit of getting used to all the "are you sure?.....Really?....." prompts. But I have to say. Its the longest I have had any version of Windows up without it melting down.

I was anti-vista based on a lot of reviews. However, when I built my new rig I went with Vista 64 and haven't had a single crash or a suffered any hardware install problems due to driver errors. My only bitch is that it's really slow on network shares (something to do with scanning the whole share). I run Vist64 on my primary PC and WinXP on both my Home Theater PC and my 2 laptops (again, primarily due to network performance)

Windows 7 looked nice; I especially like the changes to the gadget/side bar.

My point isn't that Windows 7 won't work, or that all iterations of Vista are useless.

My point is that Windows was, is - and it seems - will continue to be, a user interface NIGHTMARE.



Your file browser has 3 panes, and 3 menus/tabs. Under the "Search Documents" field, there are 3 buttons, 2 of which are completely ambiguous as to their function. There's a superfluous Windows 7 icon on the lower left,
A bunch of online/offline status crap that 99% of windows users neither use or care about. "Offline status: Online" WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?

Pathetic. And so typically, traditionally, spectacularly, Microsoft.

Agreed..... I still run XP Pro on every computer in my arsenal. I refuse to move to Vista if for nothing else but its too cluttered. If I could still run DOS on my box at home and play WoW I would !

The draw to the MAC brand is getting stronger and stronger. Now when I figure out how to Load OS X on my rig at home I'll be in business.

Apple Store.

Done and done.

Hmmm .... Don't see anything about loading OS X on my PC. The instances I've read about loading it are hacked to death which doesn't appeal to me anymore than the price tag on a new Mac.

Heh, sorry, you won't. It was a snide comment about buying a Mac.

That's really the only way to go (but trust me, you won't be sorry if you do.)
