We can find a winner even without resorting to talk of clock cycles and gigaflops. PCs are definitely the place to go if you want the latest technology.

OS X doesn't do itself many favors, though. Why, after all these years can you not resize documents or applications by clicking any corner of the window? Why does Apple subscribe to the "mystery meat" school of navigation, where the "minimize", "maximize" and "close window" buttons at the top-left of a pane all look identical until you hover over them? Why doesn't the delete key let you delete files? Why instead do we have to press the Apple plus backspace keys? Using OS X is, at times, a bit like eating in the dark.

Oh, and where are the OS X games? And why does Front Row feel like the poor, backwards relation of Windows Media Center?

The maiden counts to ten, her voice trembling with fear. Our combatants take ten paces and it's Baron Vista who turns first. He discharges his weapon a fraction of a second before Count OS X can pull the trigger, striking the Apple follower in the leg, drawing blood and ruining his outfit. This is the most hurtful injury an OS X user could endure.

The reasons behind this outcome are manifold. Count OS X had other things on his mind at the time of the shootout. He was perturbed by his Internet service provider's lack of support for Macs, and he was annoyed that his poncy outfit, which he paid over the odds for, was soiled during the fray.

There's also an element of karma to it. According to Greenpeace, PCs are greener than their Mac brethren. A Mac "scores badly on almost all criteria", and Apple "fails to embrace the precautionary principle, withholds its full list of regulated substances and provides no timelines for eliminating toxics polyvinyl chloride (PVC)".

Vista Wins!

they can talk as much as they like.....they just dun seem to see that Vista is really do a "photocopy" of OSX.....although i do using Vista, i hate it so much.

oh ok....here a real fact of Vista IDIOTIC default setting.....the "power button" in the Taskbar.....default it was set to "sleep", you would have to manually set it bec to Shut Down....and it doesnt tell u that it was sleep (if u a new user) until the moment u click on it n found it "sleeping"....

there were more IDIOTIC default setting.....lazy to say...

someday i gonna switch to Unix....currently my situation still dun allow...

I am not an Apple fanboy or Intel x86 fanboy but that CNET article isn't biased at all. Maybe it is lame and stuff.

You Mac users, know that even Apple uses x86 CPU nowadays. Without the new x86 line of Mac, Apple could die suffering like the rest that went down the history.

Anyways, this move to adopt x86 is customer-wise and at least regain Apple's rep in costumers' eyes.

Anyway I like Vista (own a copy of Vista Home Premium atm), not because I hate MacOSX or other operating system, I am just used to Windows.
