That's were the excitement stopped. Most of my XP compatible hardware no longer worked, "old" software programs went insane, even though they worked perfectly well before on XP. Even the so called preinstalled programs like office suite, were just a shell for which windows charged huge bucks to upgrade to Vista and after following all instructions, still don't work. There on line help is a joke - I need to learn "indian" (nothing against India), but common we need to be able to communicate (I've given up).

Summary: Please, all thinking going Vista and PC - don't. I'll throw my whole system out (more than $3000) and buy an Apple, just cant handle the unexpected, unannounced reboots and crashes anymore (first 2 months at least 1 to 2 per day, and not at my chosing). My "older" software still doesn't work. Anyone else interested in a class action suit against windows Vista - the nightmare program of the century! What a nerve, if our software had ever performed that way, we would have been fired immediately. Bill gates keeps on raking in the bucks, yet his product sucks. And for our government, you broke up AT&T, a perfectly honest company. Windows is much much bigger, and should be in antitrust court with a breakup into reasonably small junks by product line.]]>Aug 12th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/Aug 12th 2008 12:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/
To say that "most other MacBooks and MacBook Pro models get about two to three hours tops" is absolute garbage. 4-6 hours is much more realistic.

And how's this for logic - the ultraportable MacBook Air gets 5 hours of battery life, while "SOME" ultraportable PC laptops get "around" 6 hours...yet PCs are a "clear winner". Shoddy, shoddy reporting.

Let's compare non-ultraportables then. MacBooks and MacBook Pros will get 4-6 hours of battery life. "Similar" (I use that term very loosely) PC laptops (i.e. non-ultraportables) will typically last from 1.5 to 3 hours.

I think this page in particular is incredibly misleading and needs to be amended immediately. What nonsensical reporting.]]>Aug 6th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/
You're just bitter because you've become too emotionally invested in a product/brand. Stop being stupid.]]>Oct 5th 2008 6:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/Aug 7th 2008 11:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/Sep 1st 2008 6:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc-11/
