"Vista users can backup to anything they want. In this regard, this is a disaster.
In fact, i can backup to a USB drive on an Airport Extreme!"
In fact, we have been able to do this as a (get this) FREE FEATURE (how much did you pay for your OSX service pack aka tiger again) of windows since windows 95.
That wasn't my point- my point is despite this failure, over all, having used both, I would say Leopard is more intuitive and problem free over all.
Vista users can back up wherever they want sure, but still are more prone to strange failures. I still use XP, but on my Macs I use Leopard. This is far from a "disaster" for the common user. Besides a backup over wireless is NOT the fast way to get 'er done.
That is your opinion, not gospel. I use vista and have yet to have an issue (besides the Overclocking issues i cause). Leopard on my iBook, on the other hand, is an absolute disaster. Random color tearing on screen, slow as hell, Time Machine is unusable on that machine due to slowdown, and im ready to go back to Panther.
See, what you like might not be what others like. Because you had problems doesn't mean everyone did.
yep, and just because you have had no issues with Vista, does not mean millions have not.
I never said I was writing any more than my opinion, but many agree with me, demanding reverts to XP.
The truth is, Vista won a few worst of the year awards and I agree. As for my personal exp., it crashed my machine hard, needing several reinstalls. When it was working, the settings/prefs were implemented terribly, and I had absolutely no reason to bear the pain, so I sold it on ebay.

Cry me a river. Still kicks Vista where it hurts.

Now there is some irony for you...

Ha. I use *nuchs. And as far as I'm concerned, Microsoft's Black Night and it's mere flesh wounds aren't really a place to talk about pain from.
Yes. Horrible joke. Really though, Canonical is awesome.
