oh boy... care to explain why? let's do it this way instead of list wars (ex: virus, you like the white color of the computer, etc): tell me, TaMuK711, what you do with your mac. everything from web surfing to using garage band to make music. I doubt there is anything you can list that can't be done better on W7 64-bit.Nope, because I'm better than you. I have a Mac.

Kudos to pianist. XP SP3 will be supported until 2014, per Microsoft.Nah. I'll stick with XP until forced to switch, just like I did with 98.

I was forced to upgrade when a chunk of ceiling took out my XP machine, but I do like Vista-64 (except for UAC).
I think I'll hold off on Windows 7 for a while, as there will still be some quirks to be debugged. Always is with a new OS.

I find everything about the OS and software to be superior to anything I've encountered on a PC. Its a great little laptop for college. I don't PC game, which would be the only reason I'd ever go back to a PC.
I want to a hear a reviews about it first. Maybe a month later. Hopefully I could still Mod some of my stuff with the same programs.
Not in 3 days. From what I heard, my school may offer a cheap version later. But thats what I heard, not anything thats in stone. If not, then I'll wait even longer until I upgrade.

I always find it funny when people go off on the Mac vs PC thing. Because after all a Mac IS a PC that just has a Apple operating system on it.Yeah im upgrading very soon. Im running 7 already buts its the RC, and it doesnt support all my GPUs memory (256 out of 320). Also, the UK has a postal strike in a couple of days so microsoft has authorised its release early here :p (and no im not paying that price for it)

superior how? you seem to be a computer user that primarily uses an internet browser and itunes, and not much else. windows offers a better firefox with a wider range of add-ons. there are far superior media players for free like foobar and mediamonkey. so we established that software on mac is equal to or less than windows. finally, the hardware. a netbook with 11.6 inches can be found for $320-400 depending on how good you are at finding online deals. you save $600 (I assume you use the white macbook, if not the savings grow) and don't lose any functionality. how can you say the macbook is a better deal?user preference for the interface, debunked: you like the dock instead of the windows taskbar? download objectdock for windows and autohide the taskbar. like the interface to be a dull gray? set color to gray under control panel-personalization-colors. want firefox to be the same gray color? download a mac theme for firefox, there are hundreds to choose from. I can go on if you can give me your other user preferences, but by now you'd realize I can argue against anything you list.
the point is, macs do less than windows and linux, and cost twice as much. unless you use imovie hd, garage band, or final cut pro, there is NO reason to get a mac.
