Oh using an Apple is just SOOOOO painful. It's too stable, too easy to use, too pretty to look at. Oh what a pain it is to use an operating system that actaully works and is a joy to use. OH THE AGONY!!!
Go ahead, make the "dreaded" leap. I dare you.]]>Jul 11th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/
Sorry, but my games dictate me. The day publishers lean on devs to support the other 2 more, I too will make the dreaded leap

I have to ask....does OSX get boring? I mean you can only have so much of music, web, photos, films and 3D design software? I mean if no one gamed maybe Apple would get into double figures for market share

Anyhoo, a delay wouldn't be bad, it would give more catch-up time for people who need to get their comp up to vista standards.]]>Jul 11th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/

Oh I don't know, could it have something to do with OSX and each linux distro not having to completely overhaul their OS in each incremental upgrade? That they have not rewritten their kernels or APIs each time?]]>Jul 11th 2006 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/Jul 11th 2006 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/Jul 11th 2006 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/Jul 11th 2006 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/Jul 11th 2006 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/

(well in the cases of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu)

oh and buggy software- um well so I guess M$ jusrt realized that people have been complaining

M$ hasn't been doing so good w/ betas recently

Areo Glass is gorgeous, it runs excellent on my 6600GT. Calendar is mighty handy, the new FreeCell is worth the price of admission alone. I agree that Sidebar is just as lame as Konfabulator or Dashboard.

The longer they delay the release, the longer I get to use Vista and Office 07 for free!

Might have a look at RC1 when it comes out... on a blank HDD so I can swap HDD to run XP and it wont stuff my install.]]>Jul 11th 2006 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/vista-forecast-20-chance-of-delays/
Maybe because Apple DOESN'T "completely update" their OS every 18 months. Vista is Microsoft's 10.0 and anyone with half a brain knows how long it took Apple to ship the successor to OS 9. And of course we all KNOW how wonderful an OS 10.0 was. It was so perfect Apple felt they needed to give 10.1 away to those lucky few who were blessed with the stability and speed of 10.0.

As for 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4. Yes they are updates. Just as Windows 98SE is an update to 98 which is an update to 95. The difference is that Apple put some useful things in their OS. But to be frank most of the tweaks Apple put out could have been done for a hell of a lot less then a OS upgrade. 10.1-10.3 are really cleanup updates to 10.0

I’m not saying it’s for everyone, I don’t think I would use it for anything mission critical at this point. I am saying that with a little tweaking it runs great on quality hardware.

Tweaks? Tiger (10.4) ALONE had over 200 NEW features. Stable ones. That work. That people all over the World use and love happily day, after day, after day. The 2003 PowerBook I'm writing this from is running 10.4.7 and has been awake for 26 days solid. It is currently running 17 concurrent applications, and NOTHING has crashed for at least a week.

Yeah, Apple took a while to get OS X out, but when it shipped, they didn't stop innovating there. The incremental updates are tweaks, yes. But they're regular, free, stable, and don't mess anything up in the vast, vast majority of cases. When they ship a major version update, you get a LOT for your money (which is a lot less than M$ ask for anyway, and only has two price tiers - Client and Server).
And why are you wailing on about something that happened last century anyway? You seem to be trying to slag Apple off, but that's obviously the only relevant negative scenario you can come up with.
