What? Someone doesn't believe that Vista is the best
thing to happen to computers since Windows 95?
*smirk*
Of course, all software is incomplete (otherwise, it
would basically ossify). But a release should at least
do the basics -- and Vista seems to have some minor, erm,
deficiencies in that area.
As for the Mac -- I'd have to do some research between
which of the following is the most effective from a
cost/performance standpoint:
[1] A prebuilt Linux machine, such as one of the Dell
alternative OS offerings.
[2] A Linux machine built more or less from scratch,
being "seeded" from another, already running Linux
machine (since most of us here probably have more than
one 'puter, that's not difficult; certainly I've got
a few)
[3] A Mac OSX-based affair.
but Apple does make nice machines. :-)
