eh? touchy? cmon-- don't project. i just think that was you said was bullshit-- misinformation-- hype-- and i called it like i saw it. maybe i should be more polite. "excusez-moi, monsier toko, mais ce que vous dites son des grosses conneries..." oh i hope i haven't maimed the french language. but yes, anyway, my point is that xp (pro, anyway, i hate home) is quite a rock solid little thing and people shouldn't rush off to spend hard-earned money on whatever is the hot marketing campaign of the day.

btw i just finished editing a video project in a dual g5. it was sweet and all, and i've been thinking of getting an additional mac for our office, but do not claim that macs don't crash. oh yes they do. they are just more stylish about the way they do it.

but again, back to my main point-- i see no need for the rush. i don't see vista doing great revolutionary things as compared to xp, except really looking prettier. and for that, i don't see the urge to spend the cash.

EDIT:

ooooh hm i am thinking about this again. and maybe we're seeing it from different points of view. sure, it would be great to have a good upgrade from xp. but see the things is that from what i've read about it, it's not such a leap. not such a leap at all. so i don't see the urge to go & buy vista. it's not like "oooh i must have this". i really don't. i got xp pro in my 3 machines and i have zero trouble. sure osx is prettier but it can be a pain in the ass. one thing i like about xp is that unlike the mac it lets you get "under the hood" where the mac doesn't. not in any way i can detect anyway. but i do want a mac. i do, i think. i was going to buy a new laptop but i'll get a mac instead. anyway. not rushing out to get vista here. not.
