Any suggestions from all you smart people out there, that I might try before starting over?


Try Ubuntu. It works and doesn't bog your computer down.

Hmmm why do you all make excuses for Windows? The only way to get these guys to improve the product is to force them. How do you force them? You stop using it until it has improved.

All this stuff about using this browser or changing that font is nonsense. I don't have to do that in Linux or OS X. They work well almost all the time. There's no reason for Windows to be the mess it is.

Stop complaining about it or stop using it.

You write me the few applications I need to use that are currently (and probably forever) Windows ONLY programs and I will gladly stop using Windows of any kind or flavor FOREVER.


Nope. I have found non-Windows equivalents for everything I need. Well, I think I did the smart thing by not getting sucked in to the Windows black hole in the first place. Your mistake was allowing yourself to become dependent on MS.

Having used the Amiga first I know what should have been our computing past, present and future.  Having used my PowerBook and now MacBook and MacOS, I know that present day computing does not have to be as bad as WindowsXP or Vista currently are.


This is true. I more or less went from Commodore to MacOS way back in 92 or so. I reviled Windows because MS has been upto the same shady nonsense since the beginning. Everyone laughed at me now but now those same people are kicking themselves and cursing Windows 15 years later. If only people had listened to me in 1992.

I say again, if I could figure out how some people are able to run MacOS on their non-Mac PCs, I would install Tiger, or Leopard on my Dell XPS 700 and run the couple of programs that I can't do without (and are Windows only) through Parallels, or VMware and never regret or miss using anything else on WindowsOS.


Again, your first mistake is to have gotten caught up in the black hole. By the way, OS X on a Dell is flaky as crap. Your best bet is so wipe Windows for good and use Ubuntu or Fedora Core 8.

I am actually hoping that MacOS continues to increase is pitifully small market share so that more developers will write programs for it, or at least the ones I need.


What programs are you referring to? There is no application worth suffering through Windows for!
