    Ken Mingis, writing for Computer World, says that Vista (Microsoft's next generation OS) runs better on his new 17 inch MacBook Pro than it does on his year old Vaio. The Windows Experience Index, a utility that is included with Vista to measure what features will run on your machine, gave the MacBook Pro a score of 4.7 out of 5 while the Vaio got a 3.6.Two things to keep in mind; Ken was running Vista in BootCamp and he is comparing a brand new top of the line laptop to one that was top of the line last year (which is a long time in the tech world). Still, it is nice to see that Macs won't have trouble running the latest and greatest that Redmond has to offer. If you're into that kind of thing, that is.
