My comments on Vista (I have been running it for 6 months)
2. It is annoying. If you thought XP was a step backwards in UI
design, Vista is 20 steps backwards in UI design.
Oh, crap. I had assumed they had borrowed a bunch of the ease-of-use
things that everyone liked about OSX. I guess not.
You cannot find anything you are familiar with. You cannot modify
zillions of files that you used to have access to.
This won't affect me much, as I would be a relative newcomer to the
PC side. The lack of access to the "bones" of the system (I assume
that's what you mean) I would be totally comfortable with, as Mac OSX
is a lot like that, too.
The only thing I like a little less about OSX is the implied
assumption that Mac knows better than you do, kind of like the way
Word corrects my capitalisations and punctuation without asking me (I
turned all that off a long time ago, but get caught by it on other
people's computers.)
I am thinking a MacPro will NOT be able to run Vista.
This is more to the point. Do you know any reasons why not?
I already know that Boot Camp on Mac won't address certain things
like dual monitors and MIDI/audio almost certainly will be an issue,
but I thought Parallels (running Windows inside an OSX window) might
be a viable option. I understand that you can even copy/paste from a
Windows app to an OSX app! That seems amazing to me!
And David Fenton, thank you for the excellent link. I will read it
all quite soon.
