i havent gone through all these replies but i saw on there were someone asked how it improves production. Since I moved to a mac my production has easily doubled. I just dont have all the crap to do that i did on windows. I don't have to shut down the computer at night or reboot when i wanna work to get it to run better, i dont have to clean it or virus scan or clean out registry, etc... I just sit down and work and there isnt any waiting around for something to happen or for windows to figure out what its supposed to be doing, it just works. On windows even with a lot of ram I couldnt have very many programs opened at once or it would get bogged down, on my mac I can have as many open as I want and it doesnt hardly affect the performance. The one time I went to an Apple genius bar the guy did something fairly impressive, he opened every program I have (which is a lot, ps alone almost chokes a pc to death but we are talking over 100 programs including the adobe suite, the MM suite and things like Aperture which is a monster program), and then he had me go on it and do what I'd normally do. Of course I figured that it would barely run since after all all those programs were open and there is no way in hell a pc would survive that, not even a 1/4 of that but it ran fine. Switching between programs is faster, finding things is faster, everything is just better and faster. Obviously, there is something to this or else m$wouldnt have tried so hard to copy os x with vista. And all the people who dispute it havent actually worked on a mac and if you havent noticed especially in the developer world a majority of the well known bloggers are switching to macs in droves. Then there are the security issues. Ok well, like Dave Watts said in other forum (which i didnt keep up on), it depends on the user and dont run in admin mode. Well wtf is that? Things have gotten so bad on a pc that you cant just turn it on and go, now you cant even run in admin mode and all the popups and all the questions and blah blah blah, too me thats not a very productive OS, its bullshit. And for the people who say "but if macs were as popular as pc's then they'd have more problems too....", well maybe so but the fact is that right now and for a lot of years to come mac users just dont have that to worry about and personally I'd rather be productive during that time than a coward hiding behind a faux security mode in windows. The windows users can say what they want, for those who try the switch, you see what it does and how it helps you. If you are to chicken to try then enjoy vista and know its just a piss poor version of OS X and while we are playing with new toys for the next few years you will still be having sloppy seconds...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:228859 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
