Is Apple Doing All It Can to Beat Vista?
aalobode writes "The New York Times is running an article on the narrowing window that Apple has for beating Microsoft's Vista. According the Times, not enough has been done to capitalize on the Mac user experience versus the 'world of hurt that is Vista'. It also points out that that restructuring of Apple leaves ambiguities about Apple's exact commitment to the computer end of its business. The article calls MS Vista's certified vendors, developers and driver writers a flywheel that takes a while coming up to speed - and then becomes unstoppable."
You know, this isn't a text message. You can say "software". You don't have to say "s/w"
My current employer has been switching us all to Macs. Got me a MacBookPro - I love it, I was productive in a day. We are a *nix/Java shop so it was a no-brainer really.
With this in mind, when it came time to get a new home PC - I bit the bullet and got an iMac. I've only had it for a week, but I love it. Sure - I probably could have got clone Wintel box cheaper, but when I found myself using my MacBookPro at home rather than my Windows machine - it wasn't a hard decision.
Yes - I've got Bootcamp and Windoze for games and a few MS only apps, but overall I won't be looking back.

Honestly I was just playing Oblivion on wine 0.9.45 with all the settings all the way up and it ran fine. I when people complain that Windows games don't run well or at all in WINE when they never even try it.
