Vista was the final straw. I have been riding the M/S DOS/windows wave since 1981. I have purchased 12 notebooks and 4 desktop pc machines since then and fought the virus and upgrade/upsell strategy of Microsoft. Last week I bought 3 iMACs and I won't be back! Mac Rocks!!!!!
For God knows how many years, you have been using XP on all of your computers, as have I; and now that Microsoft intends to stop supporting it, you con easily install it in as many computers as you like, since Bangaladesh has been told to allow you to do this without giving you any hassle. What could be easier than continue to use XP on everyone of your computers or regurgitations of same, especially since you must be very used to be working with it, and you can continue on this same tack until the new Windows 7 , appears on the market, or even much later !
I have been working on a Mac platform for almost 20 years. Now that you can transfer all your PC files over, you really should consider it! My system never ever crashes, has loads of power and it is intuitive to work with (you know that Windows is a copy of Mac's platform anyway). Considering all that Mac does, you will very likely never look back. And you'll wonder why you stayed on your PC so long!
I recently had to upgrade to Vista as my computer cratered and due to an emergency had to buy a new computer immediately. I have to honestly say it's done more harm then good. As a small business owner it has cost me an arm and a leg. For as much as I've unexpectedly spent, I should have bought a MAC. I may still take the computer back and buy one anyway.
