Actually, I really like Vista. From what I understand, if you upgraded to Vista, it was problematic. I got my Vista with a laptop that was made for it and I haven’t had a single problem with it. I think that Apple has been parroting the initial complaints of upgraders for years now and they’ve gotten away with it.

I wish I could say the same.

My wife bought a Toshiba laptop in 2008 that gave her nothing but trouble.

(And I had to figure out why stuff would not work, or why this crashes, etc.)

I bought her a Macbook 2 months ago. I had to show her how to work the camera.

That was and is the only tech support she has needed so far.

Vista would not accept any of my legacy software. I support a number of people with older computer programs and could not work without that capability. This enforced upgrading of anything whether it is needed or not is distasteful.Like Microsoft downloading new versions of their browser without giving you a choice. Making you get all new software when you get a new computer. I’m happy with my Mac. I only have an XP machine to support legacy software.

Maybe you should actually know something about what you claim, before looking foolish. Google Vista complaints, or maybe even ask yourself, why did Microsoft offer free downgrades?
