1337-n00b

 Well, well, well.

Thank goodness!

I am upgrading from Vista for only $20 (s&h, or some obscure Microsoft reason).

ADD ME TO THE STATS!!

Vista sucks, but Mac aint that much better.

it's pronounced ELEET NEWBEE.

and it means talks like a n00b, knows like a 1337.

As opposed to a 1amma, who thinks like n00b, talks like 1337; better a 1337-n00b than a 1amma.

 Well, does this mean much in the Mac vs. PC world, anyway?  No office with, say, 400 desktops to support, is going to find Macs are a cost-effective solution for people running custom software.  It's a non-starter.  Anything new or new-ish is going to be Win7 OEM, isn't it?

 Sure, Win7 has a one-up on Macs, but shouldn't it also be seen as shaming Microsoft's Vista years as well?

Well, at the cost to install the required full Win7 on my (perfectly functional, thank you for asking) XP netbook, the likelihood that I will use it runs about par with the chance I'll be installing OSX anytime soon.

Mac's share is less than %10 so it's really not a surprise.

To begin with Macs don't even have half the market share as PC does. And even if it did Im sure W7 would still pull ahead. I was also part of the W7 House Party team, and Windows 7 is the best out there as of now.

Until Windows 8 comes along?

 So far the bad press for Windows 7 has been almost nil. It'll be interesting to see what kind of ads Apple puts out now. The latest ones have been "buy a mac instead of upgrading your OS" which are slightly hypricital to begin with...

I have been running windows 7 since I have gotten it (a few weeks before the official launch thanks House Party!) and have had nothing but sucess with it.  I loads much quicker than Xp and def. Vista.  I have only had one BSD but that was from hardware problems.  I love the different opions there are for arranging the windows.  There have been very few updates which is always a plus.  I have a dual boot with linux and use W7 more.

Makes me wonder... if all those MAC Commercials didn't actually work against the MAC by helping put the focus right on WIN 7, that if 7 really does live up to it's customer satisfaction goals and sale projections there will be nothing left for Mac to brag about... other than being the most expensive OS you can buy. Is there such a thing as a MAC OEM? To get OS X or Leopard you have to buy... a MAC system! Or run a VM for it on Windows, but who needs that? If OS X is so great why does there need to be an upgrade to Snow Leopard?  I agree WIN 7 is for sure a WIN!  So far so good....
