LOL They should change it to green to reflect all the money they're making on the *cough* people who buy it :p

Amazing how many PC users are disappointed about vista (which I lovingly have nick named P issta :p).

since I don't have the time to play games and thats the only advantage that a PC would have over apple..
I don't play games either but I heard that 10.4.9 is supposed to be every bit as good as XP, and Leopard is going to have some things geared for gamers. If Apple gets gamers on their side there is no stopping them, especially since vista is shuch a big disappointment.

If Apple could achieve a windows emulation mode without needing additional resources they would be marketleader in no time.

I'm pretty sure that Leopard will allow you to use a Mac program and a windows program at the same time with the same resources. And it won't be emulation. You'll be able to use OSX and XP side by side I can't wait to skin in it and not need two machines to check the code

About Vista: it illustrates well the lack of Vista the Redmond people have.

The internet is being littered with messages like this in tech forums:

From the Tech Support Pits:

Dear Webby,
Are you getting complaints about the new Vista? I went from Win. 98, second..........to a new HP running Vista, I am pulling my hair out. "They" said it was "so user friendly that a child could run it! " They" lied! For starters, I can not use my scanner, or camera......I cannot use any of the programs that I have used, such as Microsoft's 'Picture It' ..... Webroot spy sweeper and so on and so on. Can you direct me to a good tutorial on Vista, if one exists? Perhaps it's just me........." Old dogs and new tricks" etc. but I am so un-happy with this system.
Help..................please!
Joanne

Dear Joanne
Yes, all comments re Vista I got so far are unfavorable. That is exactly why I mentioned a number of times, that you should stay with XP and skip Vista.

It's not a matter of old dogs, it's a matter of a half baked operating system.

There is no point in lowering your standards and learning to live with the shortcomings of Vista. You will just get more frustrated every day. Check with HP if you can trade the machine for an XP machine.

If you can't, write it off as a learning experience. Buy Windows XP, format the drive (after backing up the data that you want to keep), and install Windows XP. You might be able to flog your Vista CD on ebay, but there is less and less demand for it.
Microsofts ads for vista should say "Vista - the modern day reincarnation of Windows ME" :p
