 Windows...the 500 lb gorilla January 6, 2007
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I have an Intel Mac and will tell you that system 10 is a heck of alot easier to use. However there are times when you need a windows machine. Get boot camp from Apple for free and then buy a copy of windows xp service pack 2 and you can run just like a champ on the windows format. This copy from amazon worked without a hitch and low an behold the 500 lb gorilla was there and running. Oh yes, get a two button mouse! Macs use a one button mouse which limits you greatly when using windows.
 from a long-time Mac user...best Windows to date December 6, 2006

While I could write that there are better alternatives to Windows, I realize that not all of us have the option of simply trashing Windows and going to Mac OS or Linux. In my case, I have worked for companies that are Windows based for 14 years. In this time I have always used some version of a Mac...mostly Powebooks. In the early years there was no option to use Windows on my Mac, so I often found myself using Windows on a desktop at my office. Thus, I have experienced the evolution of Windows over the years. The earlier versions always seemed to complicated and/or counterintuitive to my Mac senses, especially the installing of software and drivers. I also had way too many viruses and crashes (even with virus proetection and fairly good IT support) when using earlier Windows versions. Thus, I have been pleasantly surprised with Windows XP. I currently run it using Parallels on a MacBook. In four months of fairly regular use, Windows XP has not crashed on me. I should note that I mainly run business applications (i.e. Open Office, QuickBooks, Explorer) and for a time I ran Slingplayer (until released on Mac). These applications ran installed with ease and ran flawlessly. Perhaps the only thing keeping me from giving XP 4 stars is the price. A few lesser issues are the screen (I prefer Windows classic), the constant need for security updates, and the rather time consuming activation process (I worry that I may have trouble if I decide to upgrade my computer and move Windows to another machine).
Works fine but not an "Apple" November 2, 2006

Is fine unless you've been in the "Mac" world and it is cumbersome in comparison.

This computer system, although almost universally accepted, can be beaten in quality and flexibility by an operating system that can be downloaded for free, such as the fedora project (a distribution of linux, a OS which can be changed by anyone for free), or bought from software company supporting these open source project with unlimited customer support for around 50 ($90) or less.
Think twice... there is an alternative June 14, 2006

The Mac OS, $129 list, often cheaper, doesn't get viruses, worms, malware, etc and probably runs all the software you do on a PC, with the exception of some games. Go to a Mac Store and try it for yourself.
