Dashboard and spotlight are both extremely cool. The new 64b architecture is noticeble when I'm rendering audio on mixdown ... moves at a quicker pace. I like the new mail, and the safari RSS reader works like a dream. It's made my morning news trolling go much quicker.

One of my computers has a pre-release version, but I don't have the release installed yet. I don't know how to record that...

I really like Spotlight.

Otherwise, it runs many things very well! It also happens to even run FileMaker 5.5 from Classic mode well.

That, and the enhanced browser security is worth it.

Windows is my friend.
I love Windows.
No other operating system can compare to it.
DOS rocked too, but this is waaay better.
Operating systems are complex critical pieces of software.
When I think of all the crap people blame Windows for, it makes me sick.
Seriously.

I especially love the part about Windows being "so hard to use".
Somebody's always crying "Help me, I don't know what to do!"

Actually, such complaints do have some basis in fact, I suppose.

Particularly from those folks who can't manage more than one mouse button.
I'm not trying to start a fight here.
The part about the mouse button--I didn't mean y'all.
Ahem.

at home: <a href="http://www.slackware.com">Slackware</a> linux for hobbies
and WinXP for games
at work: WinXP
at school: SunOS 5.9
on the road: Mac OS 10.3

OS wars are pointless...use what works for you and the job.

Now a battle of the Steves is worthwhile...

Hello,

I am using 5 mice buttons (Wireless Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer) with Expose on my Mac at home. Having the middle mouse button show me all open windows at once, even with a movie playing, is worth the price of the OS.

That, and I don't spend my time dealing with IE

.

Thank you,

Mitch

Yeah, I voted for Windows in the poll, but felt torn.

Home, chronologically, all still see some use if only very ocassionaly:
Mac OS 7.1 (Good, stable)
Mac OS 8.6 (Good, sometimes crashed)
Windows XP Home (Good, stable) - CURRENT SYSTEM

work, chronologically:
Mainframe system running officepower. (Limited usefulness, stable)
DOS (Limited usefulness, difficult, stable)
Windows 3.0 (limited usefulness, crashed constantly)
Windows 95 (Decent, crashed constantly)
Windows 2000 Pro (good, pretty stable) - CURRENT SYSTEM

BigV · 05-06-2005, 01:58 PM

What is IE?

mbpark · 05-06-2005, 02:01 PM

BigV,

You run Windows, no?

It is that process called explorer.exe in your background. Get your hands on the sysinternals tools and see what's really loaded on your Windows box when you start up

.

Thanks,

Mitch

mbpark, sorry, here's your chain back. Please see earlier post, now reformatted.

That's sort of a expansive definition of "spend my time dealing with"...

BigV · 05-06-2005, 02:16 PM

Let's not quibble aboot th' difference b'tween explorer.exe and iexplore.exe, shall we? Hmm?

hot_pastrami · 05-06-2005, 03:29 PM

At work... one dual G5 Mac running OSX 10.3.9, and one 3GHz Xeon with Windows XP Pro, sharing a keyboard and trackball via Synergy. Synergy makes for some lovely cross-platform zen, I must say.

At home... a G4 Mac (which belongs to my employer) running 10.3.9, and an XP Pro box. I have to run XP unless I want to give up games and learn a new graphics application.

I am torn whether to spend my own dough to buy Tiger for a computer that isn't mine, and which may be removed from my possession at any time. I do like the looks of Tiger, though. Maybe I should just buy my own G5 for home and let my employer have theirs back.
