I hate to do it but i just feel like writing about it today.  I think this whole mac/pc debating is really something.  I tend to lean towards MS because, well, what can&#039;t you do on a PC (i can think of a lot not available for mac), and MS engineers are brilliant enough to know not to try to reinvent the wheel, but to mold it to their own.  Face it, not one company is going to come up with all the great ideas.  Mr. Jobs might think so but it&#039;s funny you don&#039;t really see MS responding much from Apples ad campaign or any other public battles for that matter. My take is that MS understands probably more than most people know, the need for apple. Thats right, MS will always need apple around.  They are the perfect monopoly killer among other things.  <br  /><br><br  /><br>But i still have to give apple a lot of credit here because they truely fit the need for many audio and video professionals. A couple of my buddys swear by their macs because yes, out of the box they tend to be very stable.  Playing music from a mac live is popular for that reason.  apple has amazing video editing apps and Logic is awesome, but to me thats not enough. My argument is that you can now do the same thing with the same stability, but on a much cheaper pc. Plus you get access to all the other things not available with mac, like about a million pieces of great software.  personally, i think looks are great but they don&#039;t last. I don&#039;t really like staring all day at hardware in awe of it&#039;s looks (unless it&#039;s a monitor) why would you want to be bound to an overpriced and mostly uncustomizable machine, when you can basically create a completely unique hardware and software environment based on your needs.  just takes a little effort, and a lot less money.  I recently ran a modified build of xp that was 200mb in size and performed faster and with more functionality than any version of OSX i&#039;ve used. And once we&#039;ve all spent some time understanding and tweaking vista a bit, the same core concepts will apply.  All i&#039;m saying is that I think far more is possible with PC, overall.

It&#039;s easy to prove my point - notice what kind of laptops appear in 90% plus of movies and TV shows.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Jobs said Vista will bring your computer up to where the Mac was two years ago, and a very intuitive friend of mine disagrees - he thinks that&#039;s where the Mac was 5 years ago.  Steve loves to use understatement when sarcastic.<br  /><br><br  /><br>I got my hands on the Toshiba running Vista in the press room at CES three weeks ago, and to say I was underwhelmed is also an understatement.  I still see it as bloatware and until the registry is dead once and for all, I&#039;ll never see Windows as a viable, stable OS.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Windows is full of security holes (and I&#039;ll guess Vista will continue that longstanding tradition) while Mac is built on Unix.  Bulletproof.<br  /><br><br  /><br>My guess is there&#039;s still some useless code left in Vista from Windows 95.<br  /><br><br  /><br>One thing you didn&#039;t mention is price.  Vista is $365 AT COSTCO for the Ultimate version.  Apple&#039;s OS X is $129 for the ulitimate version - and $199 for a 5 pack.  While you can point out Costco has the Home upgrade version of Vista for $95 (the full version of Home is almost double that), I&#039;ve never been able to use a Home version of any MS product as it&#039;s so limited it&#039;s almost useless.

Maybe, but I started off PC.  And I don&#039;t sound any more Mac that you sound like a GatesKisser.<br  /><br><br  /><br>My prediction?

You say "So the future that Vista is heralding is one where design actually makes a vastly bigger difference, where our PCs are something to be proud of and not simply something we carry or use to do email and play games. "<br  /><br><br  /><br>Mac have always been that way, and since the PowerBook G4 Ti, no WinTel vendor has come close.  It&#039;s easy to prove my point - notice what kind of laptops appear in 90% plus of movies and TV shows.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Jobs said Vista will bring your computer up to where the Mac was two years ago, and a very intuitive friend of mine disagrees - he thinks that&#039;s where the Mac was 5 years ago.  Steve loves to use understatement when sarcastic.<br  /><br><br  /><br>I got my hands on the Toshiba running Vista in the press room at CES three weeks ago, and to say I was underwhelmed is also an understatement.  I still see it as bloatware and until the registry is dead once and for all, I&#039;ll never see Windows as a viable, stable OS.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Windows is full of security holes (and I&#039;ll guess Vista will continue that longstanding tradition) while Mac is built on Unix.  Bulletproof.<br  /><br><br  /><br>My guess is there&#039;s still some useless code left in Vista from Windows 95.<br  /><br><br  /><br>One thing you didn&#039;t mention is price.  Vista is $365 AT COSTCO for the Ultimate version.  Apple&#039;s OS X is $129 for the ulitimate version - and $199 for a 5 pack.  While you can point out Costco has the Home upgrade version of Vista for $95 (the full version of Home is almost double that), I&#039;ve never been able to use a Home version of any MS product as it&#039;s so limited it&#039;s almost useless.  And what version will network (read: business) users have to buy in order to connect to even a small network?<br  /><br><br  /><br>It&#039;s shortsighted to say "the vast majority of us can?t and probably never will run an Apple PC"  (you had to get PC in there - you can&#039;t stand saying "Mac").  Had I told you in 1986 that in 2007 GM would be almost bankrupt and Ford would be behind Toyota in number of units sold, you would have probably used the word "never" in your response.<br  /><br> <br  /><br>Do I sound like a Mac guy?  Maybe, but I started off PC.  And I don&#039;t sound any more Mac that you sound like a GatesKisser.<br  /><br><br  /><br>My prediction?  Big business will start to get sick of the price of Microsoft product in terms of hard and soft dollar costs.  They will migrate to Mac, and someday, and it may take 20 plus years, The Finder will be the OS of choice.<br  /><br><br  /><br>So what&#039;s my qualifications? Here you go:<br  /><br><br  /><br>Technician since DOS 2.1 (1986).<br  /><br>Over 20 technical training classes including:<br  /><br>MCSE, Apple Certified Tech, Novell Certified Tech.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Come to the light....

That keyboard/mouse combo looks cool but doesn&#039;t even come close to touching the clean lines, unified color, and spare curves of Apple&#039;s peripherals.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Don&#039;t get me wrong -- I&#039;m using a Kensington keyboard and Microsoft mouse on this old Mac. Functionally, Apple&#039;s offerings in this space are more limited. But you&#039;ve gotta be smoking something to say the Vista keyboard and mouse are better in terms of art. I would not want to see how you would paint your house, etc.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Regarding GUI design, it remains to be seen how well Microsoft will use the Vista eye candy for functional gain. The great thing about OSX is how the eye candy is there, but it&#039;s subdued -- they don&#039;t overdo it. <br  /><br><br  /><br>For example, something like Apple&#039;s Expose looks really cool, but it is also extremely useful. I use Expose constantly. Every window is displayed in its entirety and it&#039;s easy to understand where each window is coming from in the user space. Compare this to Vista&#039;s Flip 3d feature. It looks cooler, but it doesn&#039;t give the user nearly as much information; you can only see a fraction of every window under the front. I would almost rather use what it mimicks -- Alt-Tab.<br  /><br><br  /><br>Office 2007 is another area where Microsoft is falling short here. Have you seen that &#039;Office icon&#039; in the upper left corner of the new Office windows?  What were they thinking? It sure looks shiny, but I didn&#039;t even realize it was clickable until I needed a function I couldn&#039;t find in the new &#039;button-based&#039; interface, and got desperate. Why replace one complicated interface with another? Again, Microsoft could have taken a few pages from Apple&#039;s Pages program, which tries to make the word processing interface as transparent as possible (which succeeds in some ways, falls short in others, but definitely seems like a step in the right direction).<br  /><br><br  /><br>I hope for everyone&#039;s sake that Microsoft and its 3rd party developers realize this over the coming years. Put those resources to use for the user, because the novelty of having glassy windows is going to wear off within the first few hours.</div>\

Every Intel Mac can run Vista without changes. And well either ways, most Mac users, except for the one who use Bootcamp (built by Apple), Parallels (made by Parallels Inc.) and VMWare Fusion (made by VMWare), run Mac OS X, a proprietary operating system owned by Apple, and in particular, the last twon on that list, are virtualization solutions, which run on top of OS X.

I hate to do it but i just feel like writing about it today.  I think this whole mac/pc debating is really something.  I tend to lean towards MS because, well, what can&#039;t you do on a PC (i can think of a lot not available for mac), and MS engineers are brilliant enough to know not to try to reinvent the wheel, but to mold it to their own.  Face it, not one company is going to come up with all the great ideas.  Mr. Jobs might think so but it&#039;s funny you don&#039;t really see MS responding much from Apples ad campaign or any other public battles for that matter. My take is that MS understands probably more than most people know, the need for apple. Thats right, MS will always need apple around.  They are the perfect monopoly killer among other things.  <br  /><br><br  /><br>But i still have to give apple a lot of credit here because they truely fit the need for many audio and video professionals. A couple of my buddys swear by their macs because yes, out of the box they tend to be very stable.  Playing music from a mac live is popular for that reason.  apple has amazing video editing apps and Logic is awesome, but to me thats not enough. My argument is that you can now do the same thing with the same stability, but on a much cheaper pc. Plus you get access to all the other things not available with mac, like about a million pieces of great software.  personally, i think looks are great but they don&#039;t last. I don&#039;t really like staring all day at hardware in awe of it&#039;s looks (unless it&#039;s a monitor) why would you want to be bound to an overpriced and mostly uncustomizable machine, when you can basically create a completely unique hardware and software environment based on your needs.  just takes a little effort, and a lot less money.  I recently ran a modified build of xp that was 200mb in size and performed faster and with more functionality than any version of OSX i&#039;ve used. And once we&#039;ve all spent some time understanding and tweaking vista a bit, the same core concepts will apply.  All i&#039;m saying is that I think far more is possible with PC, overall.  I won&#039;t even get started with networking either, it&#039;s just not fair. I need to save some energy anyway for answering some unhappy responses<br  /></div>\
