It's whatever they did a year ago. AS far as it is, Apple builds more stable and more sturdy computers that are guaranteed to work with the software that's put onto it. Microsoft has a hard time making a good computer because they only control the Operating system. Meanwhile, someone else controls firmware, others control hardware, and even more others control software. And Microsoft has no way of telling its users what software they approve or recommend, because they don't do that Like Apple does. But since Apple is doing an application store in the new OSX Lion, Microsoft might start approving and recommending software that is built for their system. That's going to be hard to build up. First, you have to set standard, let others know those standards, and see if others want to go through you to get their software out. This is why most Windows software sucks. Because everybody wants to write for it and release it on their own. Apple all around has a better sense of what they're doing, and they don't need to buy the competition's products to know what the competition is up to. They don't even bother with it most of the time. They love to do their own things and innovate altogether. What do others do? They copy Apple. Apple very well knows what you’re up to at microsoft.

But you’re delusional if you think Vista isn’t selling well. There are obviously far more users of Vista than of any version of OS X, so it can’t be that bad =)" There's more users because consumers have no choice. If MSFT hadn't strong armed the other OS makers back in the day, maybe, just maybe, there'd be some viable competition now. “LeN99 – I didn’t really work on Vista to any significant degree.

He's allowed to have a choice. I have several Macs & many more PCs. They both have their place and time. That's what is so great about the world we live in... you have the option to use one or the other or like lots of us both. They are both great in their own respective genres. Leave him alone.

Luckily there’s an IT help page that walks you through it." whaaaaat? I've never seen any easier way to get on WiFi than with OS X, with windows it use to be a lot trouble though. But it's cool you like good hardware :) “If you do run OS X, you can even get it on our network, although some things like getting on the WiFi take a fair bit of extra work.

Dude! It's like the guy who has a few drinks and finds himself at gay clubs, but then claims he's not gay. Embrace your inner Mac fanboy (in a platonic sense, of course). Also, as you must well know, the 'we're selling more copies of Vista therefore it's a better system" argument is pure bunk. You're selling more copies of Vista to corporations who are forced to upgrade, though note all the stories about companies delaying implementation. Meanwhile stories of switchers thrilled with their new Macs proliferate. Does Cupertino have a wall where they're trying to emulate Vista? Sure they do, Brandon. Sure they do.
