Here is what I know and also what I have heard....
1. Fact: If you buy a laptop, only Toshiba gives you the Vista disc, the
others do not include it!! So, if you have a HD crash or have to format
your going to have to buy a new operating system. Best Buy is nice enough to
give you the copy for $140 or so.. Isn't that nice of them!
2. Heard: Friend of mine bought not the home but the next one up on the
Vista chain. Had pictures developed from a film camera, they put it on a
disc as all Jpeg Fills. Vista REFUSES to open them because they classify
that as copywritted material. Also heard this from two other people who
bought Vista.
3. Do a Google on Vista problems. Even USA today had an article on how many
problems it has.
4: FACT: Gates is trying to appease the music and movie industry so much
that Vista is basically a limited operating system designed for Hollywood,
period!
Ever wonder why Martha Steward went to Jail but Gates doesn't for all his
illegal activity. FACT: Gates put Netscape and other companies out of
business by putting bugs into the system to sporadically cause a critical
error if you used the competitive programs. This is a FACT, I watch the
hearings. Gates got NOTHING charged against him, why? I personally believe
its because with Windows there is so many areas that law enforcement can
track down stuff that if they get Gates ticked off he will remove those
capabilities. The US Govt knows they need his Operating system and its a
fair trade off in their option.
5: FACT, I'm tired of buying more power, memory just for Gates to change
the desktop images and to provide LESS operation and productivity!
6: FACT, Vista has more security problems than XP !!! Do a Google and see
for yourself.
7; FACT: With a Mac my daughter can do more than I can with PowerPoint and
do it better! Her productivity is increased over my standard pc. I don't
have to buy her antivirus programs, registry programs, or any other of that
crap!
8: If your a gamer your going to HATE VISTA!!!
So, does Mac cost more to buy or less? I say LESS, no upgrades, no memory
increases, no need for a faster processor, power supply, driver updates,
video monitor updates. No need to check out Firefox or other non-M$
programs. Heck, I wish I would have bought one years ago for myself
..........
Do the Google search and investigate this for yourself. I just bought my
daughter a MAC for this very reason, I'm damn tired of Gates manipulation of
the entire computer world, and Mac is the only one who can thumb its nose at
Gates to the degree where it doesn't cause me pain in upgrades.
