I have always used a windows, right from 3.1 to vista – very user friendly, even a novice can use it, one needs to study each and everything (even how to use the mouse) on a mac !!!

The ability to go-back-in-time any file is one of the main reasons that I don’t even think to …downgrade to vista from xp. GoBack has saved me a loooot of trouble a few times but it is not compatible with vista.

I believe Time machine will be one of the greatest features of the new macos. It’s one of the things you don’t know you need until it’s too late.

I recently bought a MAC after using windows since 3.0. I really like the OS but can’t find much business software. Music & video software abounds and my friends swear by OS X. I got so tired of security problems w/ XP I just quit & will stay “quit” from MS. Looking for blogs etc. to get the most from my Apple.

Okay calling Leopard a service pack is really wrong. 10.5 is really a new version of the operating system (64 bit). MAC os’s is not like Microsoft os’s, that would be like saying VIsta is a service pack for WinXP, not the same is it. I do agree with Chris P on most of his points, except call Leopard a service pack. By the way most Mac OS upgrade are about 129 bucks can we say that about MS products (NO WAY NO HOW). Okay I will jump down from my soap box now… thanks for bringing up the issue… (LOL)

I find it strange that you do not mention that both Apple and Microsoft actually handle security updates the same way, initially – ie as and when required. Only Microsoft produces so many that they have to periodically wrap them up into a ‘Service Pack’, Apple has so few flaws that this practice is not necessary.
Apple’s OS updates (such as Tiger -> Leopard) are much more comparable to a Windows version update. Remind me please how long it took to go from Windows 5 ( Win2k ) to Windows 5.1 ( XP ) ??

On a similar note, I have never been impressed by a new Windows version since ’95 – 2000 was not much better than NT4, and neither XP nor Vista has anything worthwhile to make me upgrade from Win2k.
On the other hand, every Apple OS so far has been worth the small amount of money required for an upgrade.

Apple release plenty of “Service Packs” as well, Tiger started with 10.4.0 & is currently at 10.4.10 (with 10.4.11 in beta testing) these “service packs” address security issues, performance issues & functionality enhancements & generally roll up all the patches since the last dot release into one file to download.
I love tiger, but am still looking forward to Leopard. Leopard will be (to my knowledge) the first full 64bit intel release of the Mac OS.
I’m sorry (& please dont start a flame war) but I’ve lost all interest in windows. I have used windows since it’s inception & still deal with it on a daily basis in my job as a computer technician, but three years ago I was introduced to OS X – I can’t see my self ever going back.
