I presently have a 7 yr old IMac & need to purchase a new computer. I'm considering a window vista PC. Anyone have a vista? If so how do you like it? Any imput would be apprecaited.

I admit that apple is doing good and even putting out some decent quality products. But the only reason apple is doing so well is because of their advertising. Their line of 'iProducts', their commercials, bashing microsoft, etc. And when apple started using intel processors... like c'mon...
One-button mouse? Old and dead argument. Check out the Mac Mighty Mouse!
Slow PowerPC processors? Macs now use Intel chips in their whole line and that means virtualization, not emulation...that's a good thing!
Microsoft bashing? Oh c'mon! Even Microsoft users bash Windows.
"iProducts"? Oh sure, EVERYONE hates those iPods and iPhones. lol.
Overpriced? Apple's RAM is waaay high, but 3rd party RAM easily puts Macs on a level price-point playing field when compared to other equally-featured systems.
If you haven't visited an AppleStore and gotten some hands-on time with Apple's products lately, you really should! Don't listen to the anti-Mac people anymore. You will be pleasantly surprised.

You plainly have never tasted a proper champagne.
Go see if you can find yourself a 1996 Perrier Jouët, which shouldn't be too expensive, and then come back and say what you said about wine again!
you cannot, however, deney that it was an excellent marketing campagne!

lol I'm 15. I just can't stand kids that think they're cool because they have an iPod. like cmon people it's a cheap piece of metal with a 20 dollar hard drive that's way overpriced. Go buy an mp3 player.. if you haven't noticed it's the same damn thing!
And those retarded 1 button mouses that mac first used.. don't get me started.
And those new ret ...[text shortened]... soft's market without even inventing anything!
... okay.. rant done for now.
see a great idea, get the programmers in, rewrite the code, sell it as their own work, buy out all other competition and claim it as their own...

It's true that mac is great and all but if anything, it's worse than microsoft (equal at best) and way more expensive. Drop your price 50% and increase compatibility and use (85% of computer users still don't own an apple product (excluding the ipod) and about 50% say they don't plan on it apparently) among the average person and maybe, just maybe I'd go buy an iPod lol... never gettin a mac computer though until they beat microsoft in every category including price 😛.

Here's another thing (yah, I really don't like mac... perhaps it's cuz my school use to force us to use those old laptops from the mid 90's).
How many of you 'mac lovers' actually own one? On the other hand, how many of us are currently sitting on a PC directly affiliated with microsoft or windows??
