I'm beginning to think that Vista is turning out to be a great boon for Apple.
I'm also worried about a strange report that microsoft made record sales in the billions with Vista. Perhaps that's OEM deals...Most everyone I've spoken to do not like Vista, I don't understand how MS' figures add up.
Another bad sign for Vista, I read the other day in a trade magazine that 30% of companies polled will NEVER upgrade to vista. In an unrelated story, Dell backtracked from offering Vista only on its home computers, and now also has XP as an option once again. Ahem.
I gave up MS in anger over vista, went over to Mac. I didn't know how I would actually do, but as it turns out I love that machine. I will love it even more when Parallels completes 3D acceleration so i don't have to dual boot anymore to play some games...
You should give the demo of Crossover a try... see if that works for you. I haven't tried it out yet on my MacBook, but then, I don't have much need for Win apps.
A coworker brought in her new laptop with Windows Vista
I installed the software she needed, no problem. I had to authorize something about 6 times and it said it couldn't find a DLL but what do you want, it's a program written for XP.
But when I went to copy a file folder full of forms from the network drive it again asked for permission a couple times then said Copying... estimated time 55 minutes 53 seconds.
The folder I was copying was 6 Megs.
Would have been quicker if I posted the folder to the web and downloaded it on a 14,400 modem.

That being said, it's good to have you in my camp now! *laughs*

Now, you don't even need Windows to run Windows apps... how brilliant is that?!
