Macs crash more than XP or Vista for me. actually, im quite happy with vista and im not even on that great of a computer (old pent4 2.6, 1 gb ram, 6600 not GT). i didnt have to upgrade at all to run vista just fine(with full aero). and no wonder OSX never requires a hardware upgrade, its running a near identical GUI it was running roughly 6 years ago.
"those kind of people who always think that apple is still exactly same as apple computers from 8 years ago. too bad for those people who dont want to use a much better OS, much better features, functionality of OS X."
ya seriously...dont ya know, OSX is only 6 years old, not 8.
options: buy a mac and run boot camp >OR< or just buy windows and you dont need to run anything else.
a mac cant do anything i need that my windows cant do...that cant be said the other way though.
get a windows. the people that say windows falls apart in 3 months are just wrong. ive been running vista for months and its as fast now as it was when i installed it. and i had XP running great for 3 years till i was doodling around with linux and it broke my XP(partition screw up). and some people have installed vista on macs and they have reported that vista runs faster and smoother than OSX. and they say macs dont freeze...i froze my room mates mac book pro in under 5 minutes.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
