Ponzi nailed it

Let her run Windows! Jeez. You know Vista is not that bad, although!! the Macbook Air has so little power Vista may not run smoothly. Put XP on there for her Chris its obvious that the Macbook Air wont run it nicely. I don’t think that was the intent of the Macbook Air :P XP maybe, Vista… hmm probably not, i’m interested to hear about how it went though.

What the heck is with the global Vista hatred! The operating system had a horrible launch but its a solid system now. The hatred is unneeded.

I agree with Ponzi in that you work with what you feel is most comfortable. I use both Mac OS and Windows since grade school and each has their good and bad qualities. But I find it funny how there are people who constantly bash Vista but can’t back it up. Like the guy Raven in the video said “It’s just bad…I mean it can do the same things OS X can do but…it’s just bad”-okay. It all boils down to preference and stop trying to convert Windows users. It makes it feel like people who prefer Windows in particularly Vista feel like their listening to door to door salesman telling us are vacuum sucks (no pun intended) compared to the Kirby they are selling.

The question is why even own a Macbook eRR?

I have to side with TheDub. I held out on upgrading to Vista. However, the more people I run into who are runing Vista (some power usrs), the more I want to upgrade myself.

In fact, I know more people complaining about quirks with Leopard. That said, Vista is probably not the OS for Air’s makeup. Ponzi should probably go for XP instead.

Vista is one of the best operating systems I’ve ever used… I had more than my fair share of issues at first. I’ve since learned that the issues I was experiencing were due mainly to poor driver support and my own ignorance.

I agree with the poster above, it’s a solid system now. Also, I’m a solid user. With a few changes, Vista is much faster and responsive than I ever remember XP being. Plus, Vista has been vault solid. The system analysis tools are among the best I’ve ever used. I went from hating Vista to loving it… I actually prefer Vista over OS X.

Also, I prefer Outlook hands down over Thunderbird. Thunderbird isn’t to Outlook as Firefox is to Explorer.

This video and discussion illustrates a common concern many computer users have, and one that “geeks” tend to forget, change. Coming from an IT department in a large corporation, I see it all the time. People do not like change. They do not like to step outside their comfort zone…and it’s because people, in general, do not like not knowing how to do things.

Why not run Vista on a Mac if that’s what she’s comfortable with and wants to use? It IS her machine after all. AND, as has been stated in many videos before…a Mac is just a PC like any other PC…it’s just a computer.

Why Do You Wana Put vista on a Mac book air vistas slow and Buggy.

I don’t really see a problem with Windows Vista at all. I KNOW I KNOW Im going to be hated for this but if she really wants to use Outlook than why not install windows vista on her Macintosh. ITs her choice and she can do what she wants to do. I am not a big fan of outlook so I am not very famailiar with that program. I use gmail for my email cilent.

I know you have an exchange server, So ponzi could use the exchange server to check her email but i guess it boils down to her being. If she wants to use vista than let her use that.

I think if you put windows in vm on a mac there is no reason to even have a pc anymore. And I put this on here with a pc.

You go Ponzi. Take that Macbook Air and just test-drive the HECK out of it. Put it all on there. Download it, install it, run it. Besides, Chris has said many times that Windows runs better on a Mac than it does on a traditional PC anyway so I say GO FOR IT!

P.S. *pukes on Outlook* lol

Have you even USED Vista?? EVER??? It works beautifully!!

vista has never crashed,and i have used it since beta RC1, Aug 2006. and it workds perfect!.

i HAVE vista and it has good software and all and it runs fine but it has bugs that get really annoying and it could be better, so i guess it doesn’t suck but its not great…

true that – it’s just that there are really specific things that might not work well together – and it gets annoying after a while. But you’ll only find that out if you try to do too many things at once…

But for personal use (like gaming, surfing the web, using certain apps like Word and Paint and Publisher, etc…) I think Vista overwhelmes OSX. It’s so hard to get used to when using if for the first time…

(I had a MacBook for exactly 7 days, then sold it… it pissed me off)

the software pissed me off….. and the lack of compatability

ya thats also what made me mad was the lack of compatibility from older programs, but maybe vista will be better xp wasn’t that great when it came out either so…

Yeah, the first version of an operating system is always full of flaws and little annoying problems… We’ll see about Vista SP2… hopefully that will be better.

XP still has some flaws (even now)

omg chris stop being a fuckin prick to her, stop being so controlling and being so like “mac is better vista sucks hahahaha” that’s so stupid. Respect your Girl.

I don’t get it, Ponzi would still have to get used to something. Vista is different than XP. Why not get used to something better?

LOL i hate when people think vista runs like shit when it runs completely normal on my laptop 2 gigs of ram i cant be happier ;)

wow did pirillo hook up with olivia munn… looks like munns sister or cousin

Well i got used to vista i mean its not bad! i disabled some features but other than that i love its security feature since i got this laptop ive gotten just 1 virus just one and i got my laptop like 2 years ago :d

nothing, and i think it’s un fair how your getting a thumbs down

Use crossover it works great. well 2000 2002 somewhat 2003

lol mac is not perfect it also crashes i have one and it had crashed 2 times now

I have never gotten a virus using Windows. Never.

MAC SUCKS BALLS

Auraphoenix, it may suck balls, but it pulls the hairs out one at a time before it starts sucking the balls.

fuck mac and its operating system!!! pc rulez biotch

there is nothing really wrong with windows or macs, they all have the occassional crash/freeze problem. The only things i hate about macs is the fact that offices looks shit on it, and also no games or business applications, alot of older hardware out is not supported. Finally lets not forget the price premium, example, i purchased a 24inch hd lg pc monitor for £350($700) and apple was selling theirs for (£400), and my lg has better spec too.

You’re criticising people for being “emotional about software”, but your reason for running Windows Vista on a Mac is that you like using Outlook and don’t want to spend time with a learning curve. What learning curve? Kids work it out in seconds.

Get used to it, you chose the wrong operating system. Give Mac OS X five minutes and you’ll love it, and you’ll never go back.

go ponzi w00t

Dude just let her use what she wants to use. What nerds you all are. LMAO!!!

fuck mac vista rules

WTF is this dude crying ?

If pc wasn’t so much better for games, I’m sure many more people would use macs

I’ve been using Vista on 3 different machines for over a year now and none of them have crashed even once yet! I dunno what all the fuss is about!

She’s probably a hardcore gamer, or dumb. Ô_o

LOL! Comparing it to cooking.

What a REAL woman.

if you use vista you cant do keyboard shortcuts.

Outlook for mac, but I go mail but I absolutely can’t believe you put Vista on a macbook air it can be slow and umm crash… no hurt feelings.

shut up shut the FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!! about MAC being better than VISTA!!! I JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!

she makes women look bad, not that im a fanboy but she can’t even come up with a decent excuse as to why shes dual booting…”curves and built in widgets!” what an idiot….and tell the lady to fix her nasty hair

no, i’m just straight.

us mac people can afford quality and dont need a computers for gamin..we got xbox 360’s

I’ve just bought a wonderful MacBook….that I can’t use and have just installed Windows Vista using Bootcamp! Now…..I feel safe….but not safe against viruses!
