Leopard vs. Vista
-
Comparing Vista to Leopard is beyond pointless. 99% of the computer users out in the real world can't run Leopard, only 75% of those can run Vista, and only 3% of those really want to. 99% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I included a line in my post that illustrates the absurdity of statistics.

I don't dispute your dispution. Dynamically denigrating dalliances describing dastardly damnations doling deliberate disrespect directly downstream, dullards don't deny derailed discussions destroy dangerous dins deliriously designed during debated deliberations. (I temporarily fell in love with words that start with the letter "D".)

I use Tiger and will probably upgrade to Leopard in a few weeks time but man, that is the stupidest comparison this side of Air vs. Water, Which Do You Prefer? (No offense meant to you. All offense meant at the comparison.)

Yeah, but Vista won in Networking and Connectivity, Security, Gaming, Performance and Hardware and Business. People don't seem to like Vista because they won't take the time to learn how to use it. :zzz:

Why not? You have to learn to tie your shoes, drive a car, stay out of jail (:laugh:), etc. Nothing is a given. And you don't wake up one day and say, gee I think I'll write a couple hundred lines of code if you've never done it. You have to learn how. I don't know maybe I'm wrong but nothing is ever a given.

Ok I'll go with that. I tend to use things until they don't work anymore and then I use something else. (typically cars) So, you could apply that to an OS. If it works ,use it. I happened to get Vista on sale and I loaded and configured it with the custom install option and it works very well for me. :)

Nothing like an unbiased opinion. "Green indicates a category with more and/or better features, and generally a better user experience. Red indicates that a category not quite up to snuff" So why isn't Safari red? And QuickTime - not a deep, bloody shade of crimson? Pah. I'd also like to see a line item: "Must eject external storage devices before unplugging otherwise the OS has a hissy fit".

The only problem I've ever had with Safari is that when I log on to remote journal access it whines and complains about "too many redirects", so I have to use Firefox. Aside from that, CP renders just fine with it and it's quite fast compared to IE. As for the external storage devices, that's just crying wolf. I hook up my digital camera and it (the OS) complains constantly, but I've never lost data. I think it's just part of the UI... BTW: are you still in "The big smoke"?
