Feh. More eye candy but thats about it. I am very happy with Vista Business 64 bit. Apple is nothing but hype.

Besides, who wants to put more money in the pocket of ultra-liberal weasel Steve Jobs? And his flunky Algore who sits on the Apple board.

That 'eye candy' often has quite a bit of utility. Expose is a perfect example - it's a feature I can't do without when I'm doing some serious multitasking with a million windows open. Time Machine, Spaces, Finder improvements including Quick Look, the much-improved Preview, the long-overdue feature additions to Spotlight, the developer tools (DTrace + Instruments = !!!), the tweaks to AirPort, upgrades to Mail, Safari, iChat, iCal, Boot Camp, Address Book, the big overhaul of Automator, the new Dashboard features including Web Clip, the spring-loaded Dock, the system-wide grammar and pronunciation tools and most of the interface tweaks (except for the glass menu bar and glowing Dock open program indicator) is a lot for $129. Aside from the new stuff, Leopard is building on a strong foundation. OS X is built around a solid BSD/Unix core with some fantastic interface and programming layers constructed around it. The platform has some great software, especially with the small-business level development community. Vista Business is a fine operating system and all, but it's pretty stupid to dismiss OS X as something trivial or worthless. It's a mature, solid operating system that has given Windows a serious run for its money in terms of quality since 10.3.

you’re happy with vista? hmm I’m on vista right now.
speaking of eyecandy I really don’t like the smudged window titlebars.

I don’t understand why mac doesn’t have text in the “dock” so that you instantly know what is what

That's OK. Put your money in the pockets of ultra-liberal Bill Gates. And his flunky Steve Ballmer who sits in the CEO chair at Microsoft.

Upgrading five copies of XP to Vista Ultimate would cost $1,295 -- some that money going to the liberal UN-funding Bill Gates. So buy OS X and give almost 1,100 less to liberals!
