[THIN] Re: Windows 7 Ain't gonna be much different than Vista

I get my fast Windows desktop/ business apps from PS via ICA on a Mac. I run 
Parallels with XP as needed and then I boot into that same XP natively to run 
intensive audio and video apps for fun.

I just like the Mac as a desktop and the 24" iMac is just a great size and 
screen to have on your desk. I can boot it to Windows for general use
 but after a while I always miss the Mac OS "feel".

I use a standard wireless keyboard and two button wireless mouse so there is no 
mouse envy there

Keep in mind that I was a NeXTSTEP user going back to the  Winview and Winframe 
days so I have been doing this a long time. I naturally switch modifier keys 
between CNTRL and COMMAND so it is easy to cut and paste and navigate between 
platforms.. Also I avoided Mac OS thru 9, that was crap. When NeXTSTEP became 
Mac I was back in!

better yet,    the fastest desktop OS is actually Windows Server 2008.   just 
install that, turn on Themes (if you like that type of stuff) and away you go.. 
No need for a Mac or a PC.. 
  
Also, if people think a Mac does not crash then think again, mine crashes all 
the time.. it is just like Windows.  Windows is stable until you install 
non-Microsoft apps.. ;)    Same with the Mac!! :)

I guess it's time to switch to a Mac.
