I'm no expert, but am simply fed up with the risk running a windows based platform; despite two firewalls and a router on the PC
I set myself a budget of £2000 for a new PC but what i'm now on is faster, at £2500, and less prone to unwanted nasty things in the long run, plus has a virtual environment I can run Windows XP and all my games
And came with CS3 Suite :)

It just gets trolled to fuck. Like macs.
I can't confirm if it's any good for gaming, but for what I use my laptop for it's much nicer than XP.

A stopgap OS to keep Microshaft quids in. It's a huge public beta test.

Vista's not even in the same league.
Usability-wise it's much nicer than xp, and just as stable. This is personal experience, of course, and your mileage may vary. I wouldn't recommend it for businesses.

on account of speed and other issues; I suspect someone will now discredit this; though I will hold his advice

Vista is a resource hog. We're sticking with XP til Vienna is released.

I'm not saying Macs never crash (although none of mine have crashed in the last .... 5 years, probably) - they do have problems, things need resetting and applications need force quitting occasionally. However, I bought a MBP in February and I've only had to switch it off to install updates.
