Swordmaker you are obsessed. Seek help.
Actually, I consider Swordmaker a social worker, donating his valuable time to do a much needed public service.
For every person he helps make the switch to Mac, there is one less frustrated computer user. The ones he probably helps the most are the small business owners of the US, who are responsible for most of the job creation in the country.
The small business owners cannot afford IT workers on the payroll and certainly can't afford "down-time". They need reliable computers to stay competitive.
Macs are trhe most reliable computers for small business, hands down. We have used them for years for just this reason.
Odd....my new macbook had no issues of compatibility at all. And this is switching from a severely dated pc. I'm getting everything transferred from the old to the new though...only have USB 1 ports on the old computer...so mind-numbingly old and slow.
hehe...we are like moths to a flame, are we not? Including you...:)
By the time all the bugs are worked out, Windows 2010 will be ready for release.
Raxco is proud to announce that PerfectDisk 8 is the first and only defragmenter to be Certified for Windows Vista by Microsoft. PerfectDisk 8 Build 50 is now available for use on Windows Vista, as well as Windows XP Home/Professional, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Professional/Server.During the PerfectDisk 8 Vista certification testing process, Raxco’s development team uncovered a bug within a component of Windows Vista that could potentially cause hard drive corruption. Raxco has already reported this bug to Microsoft and Microsoft is working to resolve the issue. Raxco has designed PerfectDisk 8 build 50 to specifically work around this issue.
So, what this is saying is that it's gone over remarkably well, but a couple people had trouble.
A couple people are bound to have trouble even understanding how to reply to this post. Sounds to me like it's gone pretty dang smoothly, considering the huge scale of the release.
That's because he didn't get far enough to even have to worry about that little detail...
Then again - I have heard from a fellow I know at CompUSA that the sales of Vista have gone FAR slower than they anticipated - with lots of copies not even unboxed from the cartons...
He also said that they have about a week's worth of backlog in the tech/repair dept. at their store. He said that people are trying to install Vista on machines that they really shouldn't - between hardware incompatibility, to already bunged up XP installs (and one poor woman that actually tried to install Vista on an old 98SE machine...ugh), to machines that just need to have the drive formatted because they are so badly infected.
That's hardly the fault of Vista.
Sales of boxes of Vista may indeed be slow... People should think hard about upgrading old machines. I probably won't on my old machine. It was originally 98 Machine, ugraded to XP and doing fine as is. I'll probably have to look forward to a new machine before I get Vista.
My opinion is that 2000 Server is THE most stable Windows OS at this time.
But of MS doesn't support it anymore, so I am slowly moving to Ubuntu Linux.
That may very well be, but after spending a lifetime working with technical disciplines, architecture, mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering, geodesy, photogrametry, fluid mechanics and astronomy, and having visited dozens of professional offices hundreds of time, I can't recall ever seeing a single Mac.
Mind you, I'm not claiming that there weren't any, but if so, they were very well hidden, or perhaps used in the cafeterias.
On the other hand, I must agree with you, if I ever open an organic tea shop or a sandals shop, I would probably get a Mac.
I hate it when that happens.
And that people don't need to buy the full version!
Thats how I know Apple users are liberals, the media gives them free advertising all the time.
Then he couldn't Overclock, have hardware RAID or SLI... go ahead and BUY A POS MAC...
