Why wait. Just replace it with Vista. It is the same thing after all.

Strip away the UI tweaks and it's still the same decade old registry mess and poorly designed dialog box after dialog box and creaky old underpinnings that break if you move an application folder somewhere else.]]>Oct 3rd 2009 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/

Dunno about you, but I turn off those dialog boxes. I am competent enough to not infect my computer with viruses. I've configured my Windows 7 to be a fairly close approximation of my XP interface, albeit a shinier one. All in all, it might LOOK like Vista on the surface, but I have yet to have any problems that I had with Vista.

Nah I don't think there will be replies their already tucked into bed or have moved on to another thread or just don't care. lol

I agree with you though I'm tired of the flooded pride that gets wasted on the comment board over Mcfan boys and Winduhs boys.

As krishnamurti put it:

"We all want to be on top, and this desire creates constant conflict within ourselves and with our neighbours; it leads to competition, envy, animosity and finally to war."]]>Oct 3rd 2009 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 5:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/ ]]>Oct 3rd 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/

I got my first macbook and installed vista but never used it because leopard was better.

Then i got Snow Leopard and little things like my monitor adapter not working bothered me. I also got Windows 7 RTM from my schools MSDN. It is faster than Snow Leopard, and it has a better GUI. It also is Windows so it has more programs.

Apple won me over with Leopard, but Microsoft got me back with 7.]]>Oct 3rd 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 4th 2009 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/ go to HK_CCURRENT_USER, Software, Windows, ActiveSetup, {2179C5D3-EBFF-11CF-B6FD-00AA00B4E220}, Desktop, then create a DWORD value...

Safari 4 is very nice, Although the bookmark bar could improve a little bit;

* Option to sort it in Alphabetical order in drop down.
* Top sites should be more customizable;
*Instead of small, medium, large, have option to change what sizes small medium and large are.
*Don't have it spring the last viewed site when editing, this has confused many users of what was happening.

However, most everything else is faster: seeing speedier Finder navigation and faster than W7 start-up times, so it's not all bad.]]>Oct 3rd 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/]]>Oct 4th 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 2nd 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Oct 3rd 2009 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/
Save your money.

Don't fall on your sk8board before your all done saving or you'll have to put it towards doctors bills.

Oh I know the first step, sell your board(s) and spend your time learning on how to get a better paying job if you don't have one already.

You don't get it. The reason Mac OS X works so well is because Apple make the software AND the hardware. It is because the software integrates so perfectly into the hardware that Mac less are likely to crash and have problems. If you tried to put Mac OS X on normal mix-n-match PC hardware, it would have a laundry list of problems, unfortunately. Plus, their hardware is much higher quality than most other PC vendors. Most companies don't use precision cut aluminum and glass, they just give you crappy plastic that cracks, warps, and feels just plain cheap. And they are much more power efficient at the wall as well as on batteries than PCs, case in point, their laptops last for 5, 7, and 8 hours, where most PC are lucky if they get 2-3. When you get a Mac, you do get the full premium package, and the cost is totally justified (maybe not for the MacBook Air, but for all the others).]]>Oct 3rd 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/mindless mac drone ]]>Oct 3rd 2009 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/Macbook Airs have been known to exhibit cracks at the hinges and so does the Iphone 3G showing hairline cracks on the back casing.
Older MBP are known to have warped casing that shows with time (I personally own a MBP that has a slightly warped screen. I can literally see the curve)
This one is my personal opinion, but the macbook chassis does actually feel pretty cheap in terms of the feel of the material.

So if you really really think that apple's hardware are higher quality then you really do not know much about apple products. Also, their hardware is not exactly higher quality in any way. the manufacturer are still the same, they don't make their hardwares better just because it's for apple.


P.S. I've also forgotten to mention the case of the exploding iPhone in france as well as complaints about the new phones overheating thewhite casing to a light brown. (btw, if you want to, search past engadget posts. They're all there.)]]>Oct 3rd 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/how-would-you-change-snow-leopard/
But imagine all of the crappy HP laptops that end up back at Geek Squad for various problems... And how many of your non-techie friends have Windows machines full of spyware and other annoying crap and don't even realize it.
