Also, as far as Leopard is concerned, Quicktime plays like crap (HD content has screen tearing) and Leopard still thinks that my bootcamp partition is an iPod, CD, or DVD. YAY!

Hate to rain on your parade here, but XP SP2 was for certin, free.

Take a look see : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

It clearly says "free update for XP". I already bought this computer with SP2 a few years ago, so I don't really care. I just really hate it when 'some' Apple users like to put these little lies in, to make it sound so better.

OK here's a clue to to enable remote desktop for premium...SP1 may break it, but I'm sure it'll be solved in a matter of days. The performance of RDC through Vista is waayyyy faster than a free third party.

Got to thegreenbutton search for "alternates to remote desktop" and you should find it in a thread.

I don't want to just provide a link because I think its on a personal website. There are hacks to other features missing in Premium which you can search for on TGB or should be able to find on other forums....believe me they're there...]]>Dec 19th 2007 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 20th 2007 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/Dec 19th 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/mac-os-x-10-5-2-is-packing-hefty-fixes-due-january-ish/

And yesterday my Dock crashed. It suddenly crashed and then kept rapidly disappearing and reappearing. Like this: Crash, relaunch. Crash, relaunch. Crash, relaunch. Crash, relaunch. Crash, relaunch..... (Up, down, Up, Down, UP, down, etc, for eternity). Deleting a swath of Apple preferences did not fix the problem. In the end, I had to remove their new Leopard "spring loaded quickview folder snap" folders from the right side of the Dock, apparently Apple has missed a couple exceptions in those somewhere.

Here's an idea:


APPLE -- YOU HAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS -- can't you SPEND A COUPLE MILLION BEFORE EACH LAUNCH TO TEST YOUR SOFTWARE better? Pay some people! Come up with a bug reporting policy for you own employees! MY GOD! Is this your plan? To just farm out your bug reporting to your users? That seems really disingenuous.

Are you sure a true Mac user? Been running the new OS since release date and haven't had a problem yet.

That's rather arrogant of you, what a surprise, to think just because you're not facing a problem with your product, other people aren't.

I too use Vista, and other than compatibility problems, Vista works awesome for me. The other things I run in compatibility mode. I use Media Center as my prime DVR and is the focal point of my entertainment center, I'm happy to use the best office suite in the world on my OS (Office 07'), and there's several other tidbits in Vista over Leopard.

Engadget themselves did a check on Vista vs Leopard, as have PC World and many others. It's quite hard to find one where Leopard lost to Vista.
