Gotcha. I wonder if that will apply to actual software too.. As how most Win2k apps worked on XP with no issues. Will Vista apps work on Windows 7?

Yeah, because apple would get some dollars from him using a friend's for this as I suggested, right?

Cherry picker.

For the record, since sony didn't update the windows usb drivers who knows wether they'd have updated the windows firewire drivers, that's why I suggested using a mac.

But hey, you only read what you want to read.

edit: that avatar sounds familiar, aren't you the guy that got owned in a few mac vs pc threads a few months ago? Hah!

Yeah, right after I posted my comment about the camcorder, i went online and looked it up, and in another forum someone said that they used the i.Link connection with Vista and it worked like a charm (I only spent $8 on it on eBay, so it's a cheap test path to take).  Thanks for the advice either way.

I hope this turns out to be worth it since Vista isn't worth the upgrade for me right now.

I guess we'll see as time goes on.

Depends what your definition of owned was. Being ganged up on by 30 mac fanatics while no one that owns a PC cared to comment would appear one got "owned".

The thread was about Macs costing the same as PC's...and you "owned" me in showing one study that a site did that shows that a high end mac cost about the same as a high end PC on the beginning of the product cycle. So if the time is right, and sky is clear your mac with similar specs may cost the same as my pc.

You wisely avoided low end macs however for your every day user.

the real kicker for me is will games with directx 10 or 10b or 11 run better then directx 9c ????? like will crysis get a boost with everything maxed out?

Obviously they look better with the later version of directx but with a performance drop.

tried vista went back to xp no upgrade is worth all those headaches.

So were are all the mac benchmarks in gaming were games run better and faster on a mac???? if they did maybe I might get one.

granted its old find something newer?

You stealth edited!

This is very off-topic, might want a start a new thread...

So you are still sore about it, huh? Guess what, no one owning a PC cared to comment because you were wrong. I'm not going to revisit the whole discussion because well, we already had a several-pages long thread about it anyone caring about it can revisit it.

I do find funny however you are still hurt enough about it to perform a poor drive-by jab at me. And you got owned again, since you are now totally ignoring the subject of your jab in this thread and rather insist on revisiting the points talked about in that thread. Poor you.

By the way, in the months passed since you were last steamrolled anandtech (a long-lasting pc site) performed an all-in-one comparison and guess what, the iMac came out winner. You know, the kind of computer aimed at the every day user.
