[DUG] to Vista 64bit or not?

[John Bird]

OK its open season now that OSX has entered the comversation.  And its Friday...

Here's another benchmark

http://www.tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-ubuntu-vs-vista-vs-windows-7

Windows 7 does score tops in copying large files.  not in slow files or anything else.

btw 

the first Windows 7 critical bug seems to have appeared.....

running a CHKDSK /R on secondary HD's will eventually cripple or blue screen any Windows 7 or Windows server 2008 due to a massive memory leak.

  Hehe.. This is the Mac problem..


  "One thing that I still find infuriating though is that you can only
  size windows by the bottom right corner... why, why, why make sizing

  windows so hard???!! "


  They have not made it HARD.. they have made it EASY. because there is only ONE OPTION :D


  I like my MAC for web-browsing..

    I am sure your comment on Mac vs Win could start some flame wars...

    I'll start next :-)... I have a Mac Book Pro too, and much prefer it
    over Windows... though have not tried Windows 7 much at all.

    The One menu thing... you grow to like it... well, at least I actually
    like it better now.

    One thing that I still find infuriating though is that you can only
    size windows by the bottom right corner... why, why, why make sizing
    windows so hard???!!

    And there are a few other things... but generally I still like my
    Mac... though support may have me thinking hard next time round and I
    will have a good look at Windows 7
