• This is one of the better posts I have seen on a major site in a long while. Vista is an excellent OS I forced myself to stop hating and run Business at work and Ultimate 64bit at home. Vista just forced a whole lot of people to upgrade or replace there cheap discount PC's. The most disturbing thing I find as a tech is that most of my fellow geeks are so fast to jump on the silly fringe bandwagons and leave all Microsoft products alone especially Vista and Office 2007 that they leave a void in the tech employment sector which is great for me but shows the general short sited vision of most techs. Microsoft has brought out a powerful list of new software and operating systems in 07-08 to much to learn in a short period of time. If anything we should praise Microsoft for helping to bring down the price of components such as RAM and Processors. If Microsoft had waited 6 months to push vista you could get RAM for 1/8 the price as at launch however without the higher requirements there might not have been as much of a demand and prices might not of fallen. There is a simple balance of who's pushing who in the technology sector sometimes the Hardware market out paces the software market and sometimes as with XP and now with Vista the major software developer out paces the common hardware. In time Vista haters will be left in the Dark similar to those who held on to NT4 and 98 and the will leave themselves behind the curve and jobless talking about the good old days when DOS was all you needed.
  
  On the subject of Mac
  
  I would put any of my PC's from the last 12 years against any of the best MAC offerings and wipe the floor with there pretty shinny locked out locked down single button mice bearing over priced pieces of eye candy any day. If anything the elite attitude of Mac's Image bugs me. Yes they work well and yes there pretty but don't hate on everybody else simply because they are the majority and can do more with there PC's.
  
  Linux ah the geeks cream dream of goodness one of the ultimate golden cows of the online world. Linux is ok if you know what your doing linux is'nt great unless you dream in open source.
  
  Firefox - This I love I'm Guilty it's the shiz. never had crashes never had slowness. it set the bar for IE years before it knew what was going on.
