yeah, that's true about the speed thing... we have a couple of xp machines here at work, and my wife's desktop is xp. It is "more" stable than previous releases, but still by no means as stable as what i've come to expect from my mac. i also like the ability OSX has to open up the OS9 operating system and run old apps. Something Windows hasn't figured out how to duplicate... at least as far as i know they haven't.

heuu.. that I never understood on macs. You have to switch to os9 to use older software? Xp can run any software you install on it.. even if its 10 year old.

PC sucks!
I only use PC to check the works. But I have to admite that XP its much better than the last versions!!
I could tell you 1000 reasons why I prefer Mac, but I use it because of the reasons I can't remember!

no... os 9 opens up on osx . You don't have to switch, and XP will not run some software, we have a couple of programs here at work we were forced to buy upgrades for simply because things didn't work correctly on XP for the older versions... popular games like the SIMS do not work on XP correctly either (just ask my wife, she was pissed). With the way Macs do it, it is like starting up a second OS while your OSX is running.

what i mean by very stable is that i don't reboot at all. my apps ran fine when i upgraded, all i needed was a new driver for my sound card. but if you have problems running older programs, you could try right clicking on the app and choose an OS compatibility mode...which is probably a lot faster then opening up a new OS.

well... i could sit here and argue all day, about what advantages and disadvantages are between the two. people are obviously in love with their pc, or mac, or both. to be honest, the line is starting to blur between the two... funny thing though, we have to reboot our xp machines at least once a week here at work... but that may be more of a maintenance thing, funny, they never reboot our macs... guess it all goes back to the reputation windows has built for itself over the years

about speed issues...
Isnt it true that the speed difs between OSX G4s and OSX Athlons (provided from apple to selected few) has been up to 300%-500% in some tasks?
Now, thats a big, big, big, difference.,
