I use a Mac and I think Windows Vista is OK

I'm agnostic - I say use the right tool for the right job.
I have a Macbook Pro 15" and Macbook 13" - I use them when I travel.
BUT, I have a very powerful Desktop where I do some fairly CPU and
graphics intensive work and I just installed Vista Ultimate 64. Thank
you MS Action Pack!
I haven't had problems crashing the system is stable - but it is a bit
slower than XP 64. Then again, XP was slower than 2000 that's how it
works.
I don't think Vista is awesome beyond belief. Move Maker still needs
some improvement. When I save a file as Widescreen and upload it to
youtube - it has the letterboxing. I'll figure that one out.

Windows 7 is newer than Vista, yet is faster, with a smaller footprint both
when it runs in RAM memory, and in disk space where it is installed.

We'll see about that when it actually hits the market.
I have nothing against Windows but I also have no loyalty towards it.
IN my opinion "brand loyalty" goes against the free market system. A
responsible consumer should consider every option before making a purchase.

I Installed Win7 RC after testing the beta, practically the minute it
became available. I agree, "I think Microsoft got it right this time."
It's lean -n- mean on my 4 year old test machine. I jumped right in and
pre-ordered a copy of Pro when it was offered, I'm that confident it's
gonna be a good one!
