Again, Mac and PC have their flaws. I have a Mac and I have Windows7/XP on it. If you use a Mac for a long time, you will feel that it's time for Mac to come up with a new OS. Mac OS X is so 2000, it's becoming very inefficient and huge. :-)
You just need to have the right hardware and right software for you to love your computer.
My Core 2 Extreme rig... I have been loving it for more than 2 years with Vista 64bit.
Philip is completely correct -- each of the 3 OS have their flaws, but they also have their strengths (Yes, and that includes the "dreaded" Vista as well.)
The most important thing when it comes to Vista and Win7 is that you want to run them with the right hardware. Older and/or non-big name peripherals in particular are especially troublesome with Vista. Not having enough CPU power or RAM is also a killer when it comes to Vista / Win7.
Another question is, do you prefer using 32- or 64-bit versions of these OS?
I have not used windows 7 yet so I cannot comment on that.
I only have vista on my pre-loaded laptop and so far, it runs fine.
I use xp the most often and I guess I am the most comfortable with it.
today, harddrives are cheap ,
so i have all 3 in different hard drives
and plug it into computer any time i want
vista , i hardly use, may be its because i plug it into a pentium III 500mhz
vista gave me absolute trouble with the vidio driver
and vista took me some time to get the sound and modem working
i do have trouble with windows 7
but i plug it into a dell laptop , pentium 4, 1.6 ghz, 500mb of ram
it still take me some work to use the xp drivers to make the sound and network card going
and photoshop cs4 says the video card's hardware Acceleration is not working in windows 7
nontheless i like windows 7
i guess you will like vista and windows 7 equally in a pentium 4, 2 gig machine
with a supported video card
the greatest joy i have with windows 7 is
when i got to use windows vista, the genuinization challenge was already solved
whereas with windows 7 , i get to try out the genuinization program at various stages of
effectiveness
to be in a state of blissfull genuiniety makes me like windows 7 very much
i might add
i belong to a software forum for many years now , one of the earliest froum i joined ,
on that forum , i used to get tips on how to download things such as photoshop from a couple of chinese websites
from one of the member of that forum , i downloaded windows xp home edition from his home sever via the phone line
it took 24 hours , on and off over a period of a month or 2
today i can download windows 7 from various places , all 2. + gigs in an hour or 2
i go back to the old software forum and mention a link where one can download windows 7
a member there thanked me, it gave me a lot of satisfaction
