Actually I heard my company is purchasing 500 Wii's to replace all of our desktops for standard office use.

If I can't right-click, I'm probably not going to use it.

Two button mice have worked fine with Mac OS X since it was released. Same deal with Mac OS 9, for that matter. You don't need to use Apple's crappy mice, just get your own.

I never quite understood this. If Mac OS X has right-click support (in other words context-sensitive menus DO pop up when you right click), why the hell would Apple not ship a two-button mouse with it in the first place? Why hide that feature from their main audience?

Vista stopped being impressive when they basically dropped every useful added feature and made it WinXP Serivce pack 3, when WinXP was just Win2k service pack 5.

And in spite of that, Vista is still unbelievably bloated and slow.

Really? You have a final copy of Vista? How were you able to get your hands on that?

No, I ran the beta for about a month and got rid of it because it was a bloated, disorganized piece of sh!t. Since this thread seems to be about nerds blindly badmouthing OS's they've never used, I feel my comment fit right in.

Sigh...Microsoft still has a long way to go....


and by the way I'm using Windows XP so I'm not some Mac fanboi.

What specific features in Leopard are you referring to?

Time Machine
iChat
Core Animations

The fluid feel that it has over PC's and generally better naming scheme then Microsoft. I watched the whole presentation so their is a lot more cool effects that Leopard has that I was expecting Windows Vista to finally implement. I'm shocked at how bland Vista is turning out to be.

Oh Well maybe Vienna will be the great OS that Vista was suppose to be.
