Okay so a few article s I have read about Vista claim it is supposed to be windows revolutionized for designers. In my opinion it sounds like total bull crap, and from the screenshots I have seen it looks like its just a copy off of mac software. Please give some feedback!

(Crap, I accidentally clicked Null Vote..)
I used to be a big fan of the Mac like one or two months ago. It's like I suddenly cling on to Windows now. x] Haha, but I mean. The Mac is really visually-impressive and very quick and full of hard drive space and all, but it's the features and compatibility stuff that holds me back from liking it. However, I look forward to using a Mac in the future for creating and producing music and movies, like with Final Cut Pro.

There is no way in hell I would put Vista, the program that microsoft created in turn to eventually rule the world, on my system. No way. And of course they cheated off of Mac. Everyone knows a mac PWNS a PC. Duh. Haven't you seen the commercials?
I would totally have a mac if I could. But first things first. |

I love mac computers, but I would never spend the money for them. Also most idiots aren't capable of having a mac and have it working properly, (my science teacher last semester, I had to teacher her how to use a mac, and I don't even own one. And I had to teach her how to use most adobe programs and she didn't even give me a A in her class!
 ) I use windows though and I have to admit its never been a problem for me. My dad has vista and I think its neat and all but I'm not impressed as much as I would have liked to been.

I'm a Mac and PC user, as they both have their pro's and con's. If you're working in a visually intensive environment, then a mac is the better route to take. In both my HS Yearbook and Newspaper programs, Mac's were used because they're superior. The way they handle in the Adobe Creative Suite is miraculous. However, though some people are skeptical about Vista, I for one am very pleased with the way it turned out. Yeah it may seem like a rip-off of Mac, but I don't really see that as a bad thing. They were obviously privy to the area's they needed to improve in, and did so. Now with Vista, they've cleaned up a lot of the flaws that were present before. Sure, it's still fairly new so there are bound to be bugs and software compatibility issues, but that'll be resolved in time. I'm running Vista Home Premium right now and I'm happy with it. It's like I'm on my Mac. So honestly, I have no complaints.

My family runs on mac. I absolutely hate them, but only because a lot of things I like don't run on them, or there aren't updates. Therefore, I switched to a PC.
I love it, except for the fact that now I can get viruses, etc. About Windows Vista. My friends brother works at best buy, and you have no idea how many people returned the CD with complaints about the installation screwing up there computers, etc. |

So yes, Mac. |

I have Windows Vista installed. I have to say, it pretty much owns at the running of Photoshop CS3 and other programs. As for Macintosh, I will buy one when they actually start trying to sell them without insulting a company that could buy them out within two days.

Do you hate how Microsoft actively spreads misinformation and outright lies about Linux (and even Mac OS X, for that matter)? If so...why aren't you using Linux? If not then...why the double standard? |

I like windows. I hate MACs for some reason, probably because my school uses it on some classes.
Besides, Windows can practically handle any installation stuff unlike Macs/Vistas (Have to wait til they actually program it for that specific computer, Mac or Vista [espicially] ) Yeah it does look like Vista trying to look like Mac though. lol. |

My faculty entitles myself and others under this particular faculty to gain a FREE COPY of Windows Vista. I have been hesitating to upgrade from Windows' XP (which my computers' been running on for awhile).
The reason why I am hesitating is.. cause there's some softwares that will not be compatable to work on the Vista (So I have heard  )Can anyone let me know if is safe to upgrade to Vista and have other softwares run properly with it? I am thinking of reformatting my computer this summer after I get back from the States.. so I can just upgrade it to Vista instead.. plus I am going to upgrade my ram to about a 1 gig would that be enough? Let me know, Thanks
