Need Gadgets For Windows Vista

[smartsingh24]

haha I can back it up. Mac's work better, break down less, and their os's don't cost half a pc to buy. Considering the fact that microsoft has gone on record saying that they're going to be updating their windows more frequently (say once every 5 or 6 years), it's going to get more costly. Don't forget that only a small percentage of people can handle the ultimate version sandy recommended before. Upgrade your ram, graphics card, cpu if ur too far back, and you're looking at a pretty steep price in addition to the 500 odd dollars you're paying for vista. And believe me when I say that you aren't going to throw out your mac that quickly. Unless you're gonna swap out your graphics card every other month to get bleeding edge graphics that are utterly useless, the best choice for the mainstream is a mac :umm: . And don't forget that it's the pc of choice for many a gursikh (you can ask sandy about that one :cool: )

While half the stuff you said above MIGHT be right, it doesn't make a mac cheaper than a PC, which is what you said

I agree w/ you, Ultimate is a wee bit pricey compared to OSX. But considering that you can get a wicked top of the line PC for under $1500 CDN, and a cheap one for as low as $400, all brand new, all using Vista Premium or ultimate. Also, check with your local university, the education discounts are phenominal. I just saw @ my uni Vista Ultimate for $113. That's cheaper than OSX btw!

I recently got Vista, and its a good upgrade from XP. Only probs ive encountered so far is the video playback for DIVX, comes up with a purple screen with only sound.

That's fine and all, but don't come crying back here when vista crashes (it will) or when you start spending more money to upgrade to get a direct x 10 card (you'll want one) or when you have to buy a new pc (you'll need it, and you'll want a mac :umm: )
