Bob, There's no way Mac can be #1 unless they allow others to sell hardware. Too many companies can't rely on a single-source hardware solution.
I spent a good bit of time messing around with Vista today on my Dad's computer. Setting up printers, network connections, firewalls, etc.. It appears while Vista is still not yet ready for primetime, it is a worthwhile effort, and I imagine will be the standard in the near future. Especially, considering you can only buy machines with Vista (not XP) on them at retail these days. One of the interesting things was the annoying 'allow or deny' dialog. At first it was very disconcerting, but then I started remembering the same sort of dialog on Mac, where you had to enter your admin password everytime you wanted to install drivers or tweak a system setting which only admins could. The Macs version, IMO was even more of a hassle as it required entering in a password rather than just clicking an "Allow" button. Though granted, the password technique appears more secure. I think there are probably more "Allow or Deny" situations in Vista than on the Mac. Overall, I found Vista a very usable OS-- Allow or Deny not withstanding. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
