I'm not a PC lover, in fact I prefer Mac, especially at work. My only problem with Macs, and Apple in general, is the people who take it to the level of obsession and refuse to admit that PCs and Macs both have downsides. Neither is perfect, and the Mac fanboy craze is ridiculous. To say that one is categorically better in every aspect is asinine and dishonest, and 9 times out of 10 its the Mac side making the absurd claims.

I'm not saying you have, but don't confuse me with a Mac fan boy. I have fights with them all the time when they promote the Mac as the best gaming environment. It's not. It's just best for everything else that I do.

I run Windows Vista on my MacBookPro and it works well for gaming. That is all I do with it in Windows. I guess in Windows world, with thousands of configurations Vista is a bear. I've not had any problems with it as compared to XP on a dedicated PC which has given me more problems with 2 PCs then I've ever had on the 8 Macs I've owned. The registry (as long as it's included in Windows) and it's exposure to viruses are Windows major Achilles heal. Along with the fact you have to continually run utilities to keep it running. Macs don't have that problem. I don't know if Windows 7 is better, but you just can't drag around programs in Vista (without breaking them) like you can on a Mac.
