I love my nav system, not only does it work perfectly it keeps me from bitching at my wife for saying she knows where she is going, but really does not! We used to always fight when we went someplace new together...
not since we got the new cars with nav systems.. worth every penny
Also, you cannot enter a new destination in it while driving.. that feature only works when parked
This is exactly right..
I own OSX on my powerbook, and if I decide to run it on my PC I sure will do so..
Although I am happy with my Ferrari running windows XP pro 64 at the moment...
No way,
But I would do a boring crappy job for a huge raise!
Ok all that for 10 min of battery life?

All this for 20% does not sound worth it to me..
My time is worth more then the time it takes to save 10 min of battery life..
and my work is too important to risk my pc crashing because it is underpowered.
What hardware do you have?
I have never seen a crash in the 8 PC's I currently run.. with graphic and coding software. I suspect its your hardware configuration more than anything else.
I was thinking the same thing!!
Whats with the mods here at Slashdot!
They are completely biased, and sometimes it seems like they dont read the posts at all!
WTF slashdot?? is there no responsible reporting, or modding here at all?
Yes they are the dominate company for sure.
Mac, Linux and the rest have a small market share compaired to Microsoft.
Like em , or dont.. the numbers dont lie.
" and did you forget that i have to buy an entire worthless operating system just to run this damn visual studio ?"
Like you dont already own 5 copies of windows already! LOL..
Can't someone just swap/steal/disable the tracking device?
No, of course not, they are not using tracking devices, just using images of your license plate.
What they really should do is eliminate the sales tax system and the fedral tax system and come up with a Flat Tax on what you buy.. no loop holes or BS IRS
This way the poor pays less and the rich pay more.. its a fair system

No, you are wrong... XP if set to best perfomance mode is MUCH faster...

Im a corvette / Bently guy.. so sorry... You really think apple is Rolls?? Its more VW to me
Wrong.. Microsoft softare is not bound to any machine as you claim... only to 1 machine at a time.
Thats why they put little poams in OSx telling you not to hack it
We tend to seporate Operating Systems (software) and hardware for a good reason! They are DIFFERENT!

8 megs of ram? you must be running windows 3.11! Time to upgrade buddy!
You gotta be kidding me? Mac hardware is substantually more expensive.. Software as well.
A search of PC mag does not even come up with this article...
Censorship at its best! that sure did not last long

It sure saves them money.. too bad they dont pass it along to the consumers.. they already charge a high premium for mac hardware
