vista file transfer speeds have been fixed long ago (couple months or so)
UAC can be easily turned off.
linux has horrible responsiveness and cpu-scheduling. freebsd beats it hands down and so does consumer versions of windows. vista had a rough start in terms of responsiveness but a current and patched vista is right back there with xp while adding lots of powerful and useful improvements...
stop lame vista-bashing. its clear u guys wanna hate the top dog in the market, but take a look at it before u bash it. vista is currently the best choice for the consumer who can afford modern hardware. (dual core/ 2gb ram)
Wow, a completely uneducated post! Linux is not unresponsive with horrible cpu-scheduling. When the distribution is compiled, the person(s) in charge of it decide what timings and scheduler to use. Only certain builds that are server focused for better throughput have lower responsiveness because they are tuned for transfer rates, not media playback. Learn before spreading lies.
so let me get this straight, you want people to stop bashing on vista, because M$ releases it before it works... ok sorry works sometimes would be a better fit, and at the same time let you bash on non m$ OSs? wtf??!?! btw while your at it, explain what makes vista such a great choice, please? I mean is it the fact they added a circular shape for the start button? maybe its the way you can see a thumbnail of your windows, just like thumbnails some of the search engines have had for years... maybe its the ability to to see all of your windows lined up in a row? meh prefer the cube style myself... or just maybe you love it for its price? well no couldnt be any of those reasons flavours of linux beat it in all those minor points, must really be the fact that manufactureres write drivers for m$ due to there business model being able to shove itself onto i dont know what percentage of computers before they leave a manufacturing site.....
well for whatever reason i really dont get how you can find it to be so great...
^^that was my oppinion i think maybe? eh maybe not no one will ever know, including myself...

If you can afford modern HW then a Mac is your best choice. It's even cheaper than the comparable Vista Ultimate version because you aren't paying out your ass for the OS. Now if you are a gamer, a Mac probably isn't for you unless you play WoW but then you would still be using XP for gaming anyway.
