I know. But you are right to feel that way-- you got "iMac'd." I believe that if you did it "right," you'd have a totally different experience. My PowerBook G4 17" latptop is just beautiful. It is perfect in its simplicity and operation. Everything is "natural." I'll be working along in my "thinking chair" and as the gloaming approaches, she perceives the reduction in light and automatically activates her back-lit keyboard in a slow fade-up to perfectly illuminate the keyboard in a very warm, pleasing way. I can say "What time is it?" and she answers readily. Multiple network connections work flawlessly every time. Bluetooth, LAN, 802.11g, whatever. Just works. Never any "hmmm, why am not connected?" stuff. I run XP on it just fine (ISA as well ;). Spotlight search finds everything instantly. Search for something, and it shows you all filenames, contents of documents, contacts, configurations, even email messages that contain what you are looking for in an immediate retrieval list. Want to install a program? Drag it to "applications." Done. Want it gone? Delete it. Done. Buy a new Mac and want everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) copied over? Point to your old Mac and account during install, and it's there. Done. No wondering what settings got copied to what and where and when. There is a definite benefit to the hardware and OS coming from the same people. And I can run all my cool Hax0r t001z on it ;) But again, to me, it's only for "personal" use. I don't/can't do any of my "real world" business operations on her, and to be honest, I don't want to. Vista will be the best of both worlds, but not immediately. The benefit to Vista will be security. Microsoft users are aware of security issues, and have learned to "look out" for things. They are more educated in the "real world" of security issues. More and more people are going to Mac's for personal use, but I fear that they become "smug" in their outlook on security. No anti-virus, no firewall, nothing. (OSX ships with the firewall turned off.) There are *many* exploits for the Mac-- people just don't know about it. I think there will be a rude awakening for Apple and Apple users here in the near future. Anyway, more to say, but I got other things to do. ;) t On 7/17/06 7:00 PM, "Thomas W Shinder" <tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx> spoketh to all: > I'm just bitter after my OSX betrayed me. > > Thomas W Shinder, M.D. > Site: www.isaserver.org > Blog: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/ > Book: http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 > MVP -- ISA Firewalls > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> [mailto:isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thor >> (Hammer of God) >> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 8:56 PM >> To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: [isapros] Re: Exch permissions Q >> >> I *use* each one several hours a piece every day of the week. >> (I'm a Vista >> Beta-boy too ;) It all depends on what you want to get done.
