Lets not forget Rosetta to slow things down. :-)

What "things," FreedomGuru? Rosetta is available to run legacy Applications that have not been upgraded to Universal binaries. Most apps have been upgraded.

"""What "things," FreedomGuru? Rosetta is available to run legacy Applications that have not been upgraded to Universal binaries. Most apps have been upgraded."""

Yes, maybe,like all the apps for PPC, many apps have been upgraded to Universal but at a cost to upgrade(even Apples own software).All my software works on W98,2000,XP, and will work on Vista,and run better on each step up. If I had a G5, and want to upgrade to an Intel Mac, I have to upgrade the software, or expect poorer performance. One of the main Mac-slappies talking points bashing Vista is the need to upgrade hardware (to get Aero). I guess its ok for Mac users to pay for upgrades if they want better performance.
And the Mac-slappies keep posting misinformation, such as """what Windows Vista sets out to do, and requires at least 2 GB of RAM and massive processor power to accomplish""" That as already posted is WRONG, but mac fans just go on believing what they want. And you try to compare a beta version of Vista, with OSX. Lets list all the bugs currently in Leopard.
Each system has its pros and cons. But you freepers with Macs are in a whole different world. You sound like liberals with the talking points, everybody keeps saying the same things. Many of the mac fans here bashing Vista, haven't seen Vista, and wouldn't know Vista if it bit them on the butt.
Macs are fine computers, but limited hardware wise. One of the reason they work resonably well. On PC's I can buy over a 110 AGP video cards, over 400 PCI video cards. With the big daddy Mac Pro, I've got a choice of 3 video cards. Like anything in life, its a toss up.
But Mac fans get real enjoy your computers but stop spreading misinformation. But I'm sure this will go in 1 ear and out the other, with many of you.
