Leopard was very well received. Vista was a train wreck.

Bootm line facts.
iPhone took over teh Smartphone market..as in literall they now own it...
Remember that PCs have more than one mouse button
In public opinion it was a train wreck. Having, you know, used it (SP1+) it was actually very good. Not as good as Leopard but still good.
You were talking of la la land?
not some ****ty Dell job.
VIRUSES. Not virii, and not yet anyway. It will happen.

meghatronic said:And worrying about Windows? I couldn't tell you the last time I've worried about anything to do with Windows. Whereas almost every time my mac boots I get pangs in my stomach.. I've seen the boot folder ???, blank screen, grey screens and spinning wheel of death more times that I want to remember!

Either way, I'm convined they're going downhill. I haven't had one that works 100% yet in the last 3 yrs.
Of course you won't be using the same parts.. but my pc is of high quality parts, including the case and the cooling. This is overclockers.co.uk, not some ****ty dell job.
The difference between apple support and sending off any other broken part for warranty? I have to diagnose which part it is.
I think perhaps you have had a bad experience with a self build.. but tbh I'm not sure you are doing anything but attacking one preference over another. It took me under an hour to build my pc including routing the cables for an efficient flow. If I hadn't bothered it's a 40 min job max..
Let's face it... what you are essentially saying now, is that an apple is a better choice than a self-build of better spec because you can use it out of the box?
If we setup a poll saying who had a trouble free mac experience then everything would show abit more clearly.
Maybe you have bought expensive parts, but you DONT have Workstation level PSU, Motherboard, CPU or memory.
As I said, I have the experience of both.
As for building a PC in under an hour, LOL. Its an hour to build, then maybe a day to install windows, find drivers, fix problems.
I had none of that with my Macbook Pro and one with my Mac Pro, although it was quite a large one.
Self builds *are* more hassle than a mac out of the box. There is *NO* debate about this. People get dud macs but then they only post because they are dud.

so what you're saying, is that a day less of use is not worth the monumental performance gain? You don't half talk rubbish.
