they state that 70% of Mac users were happy with their purchase, but this really means that 30% of the people that bought Saint Steve's super-awesome-wonderful-all mighty Mac computers were NOT happy with them.

As opposed to the about 90% of Vista users who hated their OS.

Please share the source of your statistics with us! The best part about this is that Mac users will confirm results of this survey with their responses.

See my post #13.

Vista was an attempt to emulate the Mac - see where it got us.

I have STRONGLY recommended to all those who call our IT Help Line: XP SP3 is on the way, so keep it for a while longer. If you buy a new box with Vista, do a retro-install of XP and save yourself the inconvenience.

In fairness, Vista SP1 is supposed to restore a lot of the functionality, but I have yet to see a beta. Jury’s not back yet.

Thankfully PC users aren't limited to this single (first release) OS and there are several to choose from that are stable. How many OSs do you have to choose from on your Mac?

And 100% of Windows ME users. XP is bearable, but ME was crud.

Count me in. I absolutely HATE Vista with a passion - and Vista SP 1 is supposed to come out in a week or so ... and I heard it's not much better.

But I STILL won't own a Mac. As bad as Vista is, Apple still isn't good enough from my needs. My 3 yr old HP laptop running XP hums right along doing everything I need it to do.
