Jesus, I didn't even know Windows fanboys exists. What the hell do you have to be proud of? You're not special in any way, you the other 90% of the market are using the same crappy OS. Explain, please.
Well well, Shane. Do I not have the right to stand behind a product that I really enjoy? You're free to enjoy Mac or Linux, just as I'm free to enjoy my "crappy" OS.
do I hear a hater in shane?! I prefer Windows over Mac for many reasons, just like you like your Mac. and lets just end it at that cause we can go on on why you like Mac and how wonderful it is and how OSX is the greatest, and I how much bigger Steve Jobs C0#$ is bigger than Bill Gates. LOL! Your such a Douche shane, grow up lol.
"You're not special in any way, you the other 90% of the market are using the same crappy OS."
He never said he was special, he just said he likes Microsoft. So do I. Is it only cool to like something if less than 10% of the people use it? Moron.
And I still don't see the validity of this lawsuit. Vista Capable. If it is capable of running Vista, AT ALL, doesn't that mean the sticker is valid? Maybe if it said "Full Vista Feature Capability" that would be another story.
I'm an MS fan as well, and am definitely disappointed here. MS had been making great strides to be more open and conscientious of user experience, and they do this. I say they need to hand Intel the bill for this one when the dust settles, and kick the moron that Ok'd this to the curb. Better yet, have the settlement include Intel buying every class member a new AMD MoBo, Processor, and Video Card.
Don't you know that you're a fanboi if you like the market leader and if you like the little guy you're immensely more intelligent? It's similar to the mentality of people who enjoy underground music and then turn on the band if they get a good record deal because they "sold out."
I'm really tired of the Mac/Windows/Linux banter these days.
I'm a long-time Mac owner, having adamently defended the now-"Classic" Mac OS since version 6. I also had a Windows 95 PC, which was absolute garbage compared to its Mac competition.
I got back into Windows when XP was new, because I could afford to have two computers (I built my PC) and wanted to play the latest games. After 9x, I never thought I'd say this about an MS OS, but... XP is a very usable OS, and I don't fault anyone who uses it as their only OS (as long as they're careful enough to avoid malware).
When OS X came, it was hard for me to switch, since the internals of the classic Mac OS are really easy to understand and troubleshoot. Furthermore, OS X is a terrible gaming platform because of how it handles multitasking and graphics resources.
But for the same reasons, it's a wonderful productivity platform. My non-gaming computer use feels much more streamlined in OS X, especially with Expose.
The summary of this long rant is, each OS has its benefits and weaknesses. For me, a Mac/Windows combination brings all the benefits I could ask for. Different needs bring different choices, and I don't see why people feel compelled to insult others' choices.

OK, I'm the biggest Windows fanboy there is, and even I'm shocked at this one.
Shame on you, Microsoft.
I agree, I'm a huge fanboy and this is just WOW! no words.
Guess 'The WOW starts Now'.
