I agree with that, but the problem some people have is knowing what to search for. When I tell people that I found their problem online they always ask what I was searching for.

That’s gotta be software/driver related then. I used Vista for well over a year, and it froze on me once or twice, blue-screened once, and started acting weird just a handful of times where I’d have to restart it. On my Mac Vista runs really well in Boot Camp, and I’ve had a few instances in the last few months where my Mac has acted up forcing me to restart it as well. All in all I can’t say that the stability of Mac has really prevailed over Windows from my first impressions.

Since I use Vista just for gaming, I’m thinking about switching over to SP3 until Microsoft can sort out these problems. I know they will, it’s just it takes them longer then it should be.

Besides, they’re a bit too secretive ala Apple, which is effectively reflected in what their employees can say out of work, and I don’t like that too much.

In the end, there are better companies to work in out there, anyway

WHEN, really now when, does Vista crash for you? Have you sent in a bug report? Would that not go further?

I would take a Microsoft product over Google any day of the week.

I don’t think Google’s products are unreliable. Take for instance GMail. It’s one of the best e-mail clients around and its search engine towers high above all the rest.

Although Gmail has had plenty of outages and dataloss in the past. I use it on a regular basis, but I also backup my emails using an email client on my computer to be on the safe side. Heck, the service is still in Beta after how many years?

Microsoft has demonstrated over and over again being arrogant and rude and has paid a price for it. Having Bill Gates out of the picture, I feel SB will further enhanced the bully attitude.
