My Mac Mini runs Vista quite well using bootcamp and was the easiest Vista install Ive ever done
However, Vista is only being used to run MS Office Communitator and a few games for the kids.
OS X still runs much faster.

Mark,

My business partner ad I recently made the switch to MacBook Pros after giving up in frustration on Windows. Since the transition we have never looked back. We love our MacBook Pros and have found that the native Unix environment fits perfectly with our backgrounds in other Unix/Linux OS.

We use gmail for all of our e-mail, so even though I have office loaded on my Mac I haven’t tried Entourage so I can’t speak to that product. However, Mac Office 2008 is a great product overall.

Have you considered installing Window on your Mac using Bootcamp? If you do that you can boot directly into Windows from your Mac (I know it seems wrong on some level). Also, if you install Parallels you can access your Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine in Parallels without rebooting.

I went to high school in the late 80\’s early 90\’s, finishing in 92. Our school had mac\’s, I couldn\’t stand them, lol, but have always wanted to try these more advanced macs around now, but alas, they are just too expensive for me My last windows experience was XP. I was very anal with security on it. Spyware, virus full scans every week, running programs to clean the cache and history etc. It got to the point where I simply had lost all enjoyment from my computer. And hey, I\’ll admit it, the vast majority of software on my computer was pirated. I have trouble being around people, was outed, bullied, harassed in high school and that left some big problems within me not coping around people so at present I don\’t work. Plus there is the whole life long memories and experiences with ufo etc that I am trying to understand, anyway, I have wondered in my thoughts. I dumped windows nearly a year ago, moved to linux, opensuse to be exact, and the experience is just amazing, brought the computer back to what it should be, one of enjoyment and not the hassle that windows has become. It just goes to show, you can hold a large percetnage of the market with a inferior product, because compared to linux microsoft is still years behind what can be done on linux with far less memory than it needs to be done on windows.

I switched exactly one year ago and like you, I\’ve never looked back. I\’ve seen my productivity skyrocket this year and actually look forward to the time I spend on my computer now.

Once the initial period of learning your way around Mac OS X is over, they\’re really a blast to use…

Its better to have mac other than PC because have lots of advantages except that its too expensive.Also its little difficult for the first time users to follow up the windows or to use it, either the apple or the Vista product.

If I ever get rich enough, I\’ll buy one! It\’s been a dream for a long time. I think the salesmen get sick of seeing me enter the store to play with theirs. LOL

yay! welcome to the apple family, mark. great job with dancing with the stars. you tried your best :] it was great watching you.

as a youngster i was all PC. Until the \"have-10million-different-viruses-in-one-computer\" era came and I was devastated to not be able to use paint (hell, i was only like, 10 years old). And now as a teen, my family bought me a mac because of good grades in school and i absolutely love it. yeah, the right click is a problem for me too since i used windows before, so I\'m using a standard mouse. macs are great. my desktop never freezes. or maybe because you have a crapload more emails than i ever do, haha. let\'s make a good mavs season this year.

gettin\' kobe? dont let go of harris or howard. they\'re rising...and its making me oh so very anxious to see them in a couple of years.
