[citation][nom]V8VENOM[/nom]Yeah, more of Tom's trying to find a problem in Apple's latest OS where there is none. I have NONE of those applications on my MacPro which has going thru Tiger to Leopard and now Leopard to Snow Leopard. And some of those version numbers are pre-historic.And yes, you don't need Anti-Vrius software for your Mac, I've been running my Macs for 3 years now without them and not a single problem. The people that buy Anti-Virus software for the Mac are most likely people that come from the Windows world - driven by fear. I have no idea why anyone would buy Norton or McAfee for the Mac, sorta like buying condoms for a priest.Leopard Snow is $29, Windows 7 Ultimate is $220. What was in Vista that people "NEEDED" to have? What's in Windows 7 that people NEED to have -- nothing other than major headaches.The Key feature Snow Leopard brings is a 64bit native OS, Finder is much faster now that it is native 64bit. Preview now supports just about any Camera you plug into a Mac without any additional vendor software. A bunch of useful interface changes to improve workflow. And a host of other features that "stay out of your way" unlike say Vista where one is endlessly prompted when doing anything with UAC enabled.Oh yeah, and Mac's also don't automatically assume you're a pirate/thief and don't try to hide the ability to record streams from the Mix Out channel like Vista does.But I expected nothing less or more from Tom's -- more bad writing, misleading information, and a money trial back to Microsoft.Oh BTW, did I mention it's $29 for one version that does all, not 10 different version like Vista/Windows 7 to make you feel like Microsoft is somehow giving you more choices and saving you money .... hahaha[/citation]
Had a mac. Got tired of buying camera's, expansion cards, and trying to sync my phone. Had it for a month and then it went back. And its more like 529 for the upgrade. You already paid the apple tax. Probably a few times over buy the way you talk.
