Windows has what we called 'automated shut-down syndrome' whereby the system hangs or applications crash... this is my personal opinion, not a hostile intention i suppose  i love my mac... the only thing that i dont like about mac is PRICEY! damn Stevie Jobs... hehe

I respect Apple for built their own machine , their own OS , their own creativity, and they know on how to suit their OS and hardware together .. without lacking of the users need .. I'm waiting for their iTV and iPhone ...can't wait for their invention comes to real .  regarding vista vs leopard ..i think Microsoft should come with another invention, rather than imitate what Mac OS X had done . Mac OS X Leopard Introducing Vista 2.0 Redmond has a cat, too. A copycat This post has been edited by kevler: Jan 9 2007, 06:15 PM

Getting Started

|
not that i wanna say vista char sui. but really, vista doesn't support opengl that well. maya and alot of opengl app can't be run. it's dx10 not so useful for me because it's dx10 made 3dsmax crash like crazy. I prefer osx eventho it's doesn't have unibin for maya and zbrush. but everything works under the same roof. no crash for me so far. atleast under osx i never spend too much time trying to fix problem instead of working. I've got more work done under osx.
So far Vista is a really nice eye candy for me. security wise seems ok but nothing else impress me except it's voice command function. as for ppl who mention about financial problem. if u take the amount of money u spend on a pc vs buying a mac. and take the chances it breaks down and look at the stuff bundled in the package. u'll see actually mac is cheaper than pc. atleast the app comes with mac has already enough for u to start making alot of stuff from ur DVDs to ur webpages. and there's alot of free opensource app online. pc on another hand, eventho vista bundle with some nice stuff. but it's still lacking in making a complete system with app which can allow use to click and get jobs done. u still need to get ur anti virus, install editing softwares, web design softwares and etc to get things started. I don see myself upgrading my xp to vista in anytime soon unless they get the opengl support back in to windows. for ppl who question whether the support for opengl is already in vista. go to ati website and check for it's faq. u'll see opengl is not implemented. as for nvidia, it's written that it's supported but when u load ur opengl app. u'll see it runs as slow as a snail. Cheers guys. good luck to vista.

The thing that i love so much about Windows is that each release is crippled n heavily bugged in some way. That's why i know so much about computers, even things i don't want to know. MDAC crash? Yup, that's Microsoft Database Access Components. IRQ_UNRESOLVED? That's usually on that pretty bluescreen there. If Windows doesn't exist n everyone uses OS X, there won't be any geeks or that much computer techinician. Imagine the billions of money n jobs that would be lost if only conceptual viruses were available for Windows. Imagine the security and antivirus companies all go bankcrupt at the same time when Microsoft announce that they won't be making Windows anymore, that they're porting to OS X.
For that, i thank Bill Gates for all the wonderful bugs, viruses, trojans, worms, and random critical crashes that eats all my 250GB data and all my precious irreplaceable photos, videos and to some, documents worth billions. Thank you GrandPa Bill for making the world better. Ooh, since most of us will never donate to charity, thank you for scamming us and donating on our behalf.
BSOD on, A Mac Hater

Either grumbling about how much they'll need to spend on hardware upgrades in order to go Vista, or swearing that they'll just stay on Windows XP. Hmm.. even those who stick on Windows due to games may have problems as well with performance of their games.
