Is Windows Vista better then Mac OSX?

Once Vista is actualy stable (assume 1-2 years post release) it will likely be a matter of openion. I've heard Vista has some pretty cool features, but MAC has always been a lot easyer to use and navigate.

You can check the reviews done by Paul Thurrott. See the link below.\n\nMean while, Windows Vista, as the next OS from Microsoft, has a lot of adventages over Windows XP. It features a new look & feel, better file searching tools, very nice effects on windows (minimizing, switching or maximizing windows), new programs and games.\n\nFor both, Vista and messenger, aren't released jet, and because of that there could be some minor errors once they'll released, but they will be corrected from Microsoft as soon as posible.\n\nIf you are going to purchase Windows Vista, You must first check if your computer can run it, not all the computers are compatible with it.\n\nI dont know much about Messenger Live, but in Paul Thurrott's site is a review about it.\n\nGood luck.

Well, no. You can get the software *can't think of what its called off the top of my head* to run Windows on a Mac. I would assume going that route you could use IE. The closest you can get is Firefox.

A lot.  Vista is tuned to use the computer more efficiently, thus faster.  Easier to do things like organizing files.\n\nBasically, just makes it easier for the users to do things.

I have beta tested Windows Vista, and yes it does look pretty. But that is not the only changes , there are actually some new cool features on there that will be very useful. Only prob is it is a little more demanding then windows XP is, so not everyone will be able to upgrade right away. As far as it bieng buggy.....its Windows , what can we say haha

Hi there....sorry, your question is vague--are you asking if anyone else is experiencing any type of trouble while running Windows on the Mac or are you asking if everyone is satisfied with running Windows on the Mac?\n\nConsider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  You will be able to search and learn more about Windows on Macs under the Windows Compatible Technology section.

I'll say that OSX is more advanced that Windows.  I however think that PowerPC processors are inferior to the x86 architecture now.  Sure at one point PowerPC processors were faster than Intel equivalents back during the Pentium II era.  But that is no longer the case and Apple has been unable to produce a 3GHz+ G5 chip and they have been unable to produce a G5 laptop processor as well.  Do you think they are switching to Intel processors because they want to.  No.  They are switching to Intel processors because they consume less power per clock cycle and they do more work and run cooler than the G5 processor and the will be using the Pentium M in their laptops.\n\nOSX is better, the G4/G5 processors are not.

No windows on my Mac... My mac looses its charms if i see windows on my mac. Its good for some people who can't avoid some of the windows apps.

Tiger is very cool  Unfortuately, a computer designed for Windows will not recognize the Mac OS.   Sorry.  \n\nThe opposite is not true, however.  You can easily install Windows on any of the new Mac computers, through an included program on the Mac called Boot Camp.  But while Macs will run both Mac OS and Windows, Windows boxes will not run the Mac OS.  \n\nGood luck!!

Vista is still in beta, you should probably take anything you see on your system or anything you hear about it at this point with a grain of salt. It's not done yet.\n\nI don't have a machine to run Vista on at the moment, but I am cautiously optimistic. Some of the things they're doing with drivers, memory management and security sound good, at any rate. The eye candy is apparently important to some people, and what I've seen is pretty nice, but the graphics really aren't important in the long run.\n\nTo address the Mac zealot above me, please bear in mind that a lot of the goodness OS X has is from the FreeBSD base. The machines cost more than their functional equivalents, and while it's nice and stable and sensical (thanks FreeBSD), it's years behind the curve in terms of games or other serious applications.

1)Reliability.  Macs have the lowest out of the box failure rate of all companies.\n\n2)Support.  Apple support is far superior to any support from any other company. If  I have a problem with my Mac, I go on the internet, schedule an appointment at the genius bar at the nearest Apple store, Go there and an Apple Genius fixes it right before your very eyes and if I have questions, the questions get answered.  I do not sit on the phone on hold for hours and then end up with a person who speaks English poorly at best.\n\n3) Vista ( the next release of Windows OS) has  many MAC OS X like features because OS X is clearly a better, friendlier operating system.  Oh, BTW, The next version of Mac OS will be out months before Vista, putting MS behind once again.\n\n4)Apple controls it machine configurations, the software is tested on specific hardware.  It is optimized for that hardware.  Windows has a wider variety of hardware to pick from,  and it is called Plug n Pray for a reason and that is it may not really be as easy to install as one thinks it would be.\n\nWindows might be needed because some of the companies don't write for the Mac OS, because the customer base is not as large. I have only found 1 program that I want that is Windows only and I found a suitable substitute.  Many people are concerned about gaming on the Mac, but hey, do you want a good stable reliable computer with great service or a violent game?\n\nMore and more people are buying Apples with a good reason, they are easier to use and more reliable.  You may spend a few dollars more upfront but you get what you pay for.  \n\nIn 2005 Apple won notebook of the year, desktop of the year and server of the year. I think that says it all! Oh and don't forget the iPod!

hi,\nWindows is believed to be a poor imitation of Mac OS.The security that is being incorporated into Vista has been in OS X for quite a long time.The OS X has some cool secuity features .Check out this link its quite interesting.\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/features/security/

Its really very Simple. If you buy a mac u can always install windows xp on the same machine. But if you buy a pc u can't install Mac OS X, iLife 06 and all great stuff from Apple and for apple. So, its very easy to decide.U can get a mac instead of a PC and when u like mac u can put windows as an option.\n \nBuying a Mac Advantage:-\n        - Mac OS X, iLife, easy to use and well integrated softwares\n        - Less viruses or almost no viruses.\n        - Can install Windows Xp - same as having a PC in Mac :)\n        - PC virus can't doing anything to Mac. so even windows xp          in the mac is affected with virus still mac is intact. ;)\n\nBuying a PC :-\n        - No Mac OS X, No great user experience, no iLife, only a pc which a Mac already has in it.\n       - Virus attacks then whole life is ruined\n\ni'm mac user for 12 years... U will love your mac when u buy and start using it and Windows XP is always an option on  a Mac with boot camp ;)

I tried Windows Vista.  I think it is better to wait for a sp to install vista. Most improvements made on Vista were on the Interface (how it looks) rather than features and stability.  Therefore I think I will stick to Windows XP.  You can also get the nice vista theme on XP using programs such as WindowBlinds 5 without slowing down your computer.  The biggest problem of Vista is compatibility problems.

Yes and no. Yes it will be very good and will doubtlessly look better. The GUI looks nicer and is less cluttered (by the looks of it.) Everything has been re-written, so all of that out-of-date parts of Windows are no more. However, the problem is that new coding means that they haven't corrected all the mistakes they made in the old one - they may (and have done already) make the same mistakes again that were corrected back in Windows 3.1 days.\n\nSo I say, yeah it's gonna be great, but be weary whilst on the internet for the first few months. Perhaps wait a few months until they patch all the initial problems and then go for it. Plus, you will almost certainly need a new PC to be able to run Vista.
