Very true about Vista.

The worst thing is that most people who still have negative opinions of the OS are basing their opinions on hearsay (most of which is old and largely applied to the pre-SP1 update) and haven't actually used it. As long as your PC is relatively current, it's not a big deal to buy a couple gigs of RAM these days if you're short.

That being said, Mac OSX still thumps it soundly in terms of stability and security. It just works.

Sorry to say it now that there's an anti-Mac backlash and it's currently geek fashionable to bash Apple now that they've become mainstream, but... facts iz facts.

With my PC, I spend about as much time tweaking the settings, both hardware and OS (and BIOS when it comes to OC) as I do you know... actually USING my PC for productivity or play.

Once Windows 7 rolls out, most likely delayed, it may well be the same damn thing all over again with the driver support issue and additional resources required.
