[split] Mac VS PC

[JustSomeone]

Take Vista, for example. I didn't suffer from any personally but it did have some proper nasty bugs when it came out, and I'm not disputing that. Bugs aside however a lot of criticism was levied at it for being a resource hog. The thing that got me is that people say things like "OMG XP is so fast it's amazing why would I ever want Vista it's so bloated rar rar rar". Do those people remember what it was like running XP on a Pentium 3 or 4 with 256mb RAM? It was [b]painful[/b] compared to something like 98SE or even 2000. And people bitched and moaned about it at the time. When Vista came out the typical PC had 1-2Gb RAM and was running XP like an absolute dream - and suddenly Vista was the bad guy. Everyone had forgotten that XP was exactly the same when it came out.

I think, in part, is my personality. I tend to use things, until they break. Considering that XP 13 years old, it's a damn fine OS. To this day, I am still using XP as my main desktop. It does 100% of what I want it to do, and 90% of what 7 does, maybe more.

Concerning adopting XP... Well I had great time with Windows 2000 Pro. It was hard to give up, and quite frankly didn't care for XP. It look liked a children's toy. But, tone down the kiddy stuff, and it grew on me. I can't give up the classic Windows File Explorer.

Of course I had a dual processor machine when I adopted XP. So no speed complaints there.
