Elaine (with Apple-ish grin): I just bought a Macbook
Jerry (non-chalantly sipping his coffee in front of his Dell): So? I've got Vista.
Elaine (frowning): But this is a Mac, Jerry.
Jerry: But it's not Vista.
Elaine: No, it's not Vista. It's a Mac.
Jerry: It's very shiny. What'd that thing cost you?
Elaine (defensive): What does that matter?
Jerry: One thousand?
Elaine: Jerry...
Jerry: Two thousand?
Elaine: Stop...

Elaine: Including tax.
Jerry: 1250
Elaine: 1250 what?
Jerry: Vista.
Elaine: But it's not a Mac!
Jerry: It checks email.
Elaine: So does my Mac.
Jerry: Surfs the web.
Elaine: So does my Mac.
Jerry: Makes movies.
Elaine: So does...it does? I thought Windows didn't make movies.
Jerry (shrugs and sips): Vista.
(Door explodes open!)

Jerry: 1250
Kramer (walking over to Jerry's laptop): Oooh, is that...
Jerry: Vista.

Lol, that just makes me cringe. Why waste their money of a piece of crap, just plug their advertising into the new Windows as we wouldn't already know that it sucks

Using Windows, I've always enjoyed the freedom of building my own PCs.
If you've never built a PC, it's hard to explain...
Moreover, if you've ever had to do something with a PC and built one to task, it's really rewarding.
Especially since you can build one that will do what you want for half the price of a brand name or a third of the price of a Mac.
(A lot like building a website by yourself, no?)
Anyway, at this point, I don't think Vista can compare to the latest Mac OS unless you are on some premium hardware.
And even then, it's a bit behind... but really not TOO bad... - Thanks,
jim

Its not really a PC vs Mac thing or a Microsoft vs Apple or even Windows vs OS X. Its really Vista vs Leopard (in the above *ad*) which is entirely different.
The ad above makes me cringe, similar to those school plays we were all forced to watch at some point in our lives. Its a play on the Mac Ads which are quite ludicrous in themselves and just doesn't work for Vista.
Vista is rubbish, no doubt about it That is why everyone is staying or going back to XP as XP was pretty decent.
The good old saying *flogging a dead horse* really applies to Vista. Personally, I think its a a waste of resources on a massive marketing campaign on something that is pretty rubbish. I can understand if they spent the money for Windows 7 as the masses would be unaware of what the true quality of the product really is. Its very hard to change the opinion of the masses, especially when that opinion is based around truths.
Obviously, Vista has some good attributes but for the most part, was a move in the wrong direction.
I like Apple products from my iPod, Macbook and the operating system. I would never go back to Windows. However, I did hope that Vista would be a success and I sure as hell want Windows 7 to be a success for very selfish reasons. Vista and its successor means no IE6 and eventually no IE7, which is a glorious event in itself!!!
I don't care if you love PCs, Windows, Macs, OSX etc... everyone uses whatever they want as it best suits them but I do care if people use Internet Explorer!!! don't do it folks!

I agree; friends don't let friends use Internet Destroyer!
...have always built my own PCs, too, with the latest and greatest, biggest and baddest, fastest and...well, you get my drift.
BUT, as I mentioned before, I think Santa is going to bring my wife a 24" iMac this year and take the miles of PC cable with him.
