I just got done installing Vista in VM (XenServer) and now I want go curl up in 
a corner and cry.   It’s painfully slow in a VM compared to Vista.  It took 20+ 
minutes to bring up a network share (win 2003 server) so that I could launch 
the Provision Server Client Install.   I should get Camtasia or ScreenRecorder 
and document this.

Yah, I agree with you Joe.   I actually love Vista as I have a REALLY FAST PC 
so it can handle vista but it is far from what I would like.   So, I have 
switched to the Mac in some ways.  I have two Mac.  A 17" laptop and a 14" 
laptop.  I love them BUT, without VMware Fusion I find it to be useless for 
business.  In fact, I don't use it at all for work but only use it as an iTunes 
box, for podcasts, for videos,  movies, and all that stuff...   Office 2008 is 
much better but I just hate having only one mouse button and I know I can plug 
a mouse in but not while I'm on my couch or in bed (I love to work in bed, is 
that too much info for you guys???  )...    So, Thanks for VMware and Parallels 
my Mac is useful but I really need a solid state drive as I HATE the slowness 
of the VMs... I sit and wait and wait and wait and now matter how much you hate 
Vista I don't wait with Vista.. Only XP running in a VM on my Mac... 
  
  
So, I pray Microsoft gets 7 right.  I think they know how we all feel and today 
it is just way tooooooooo early to tell what 7 will be like...    But, I jus 
don't think the Mac is a solution..  
  
Although, I know Steve G is a big Mac guy so I would love to hear his views on 
it and maybe he can explain how I can use my Mac for more than just fun.. ;)

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