Is there anything there a Mac can't do?
XP keeps locking up my applications, does mysterious things on my behalf without my permission, downloads things without asking and generally behaves as if it owns the place. Like a small clone of Microshaft actually. Its my computer and I'll do as I like with it, d'ya hear Bill?
I too am fed up with the Microsoft experience and I'd really like an impartial comparison. Unfortunately the partisanship makes it really difficult to decide. At the moment my clapped out IBM notebook with XP Pro does most of what I need but the peripherals are wearing out and it will eventually expire. In the meantime it'll make a good replacement for my old Win 98 desktop. So, I'm tempted to try a Mac as my next notebook just to get that impartial comparison. I'll probably post a report once I've had a chance to try the Mac.
