....Indeed.

Ok, I'm really missing something here, or I must be, since I simply don't see whats so great about OS X. Its just an operating system, and to me it doesn't seem too much better than XP or Vista - a bit nicer looking, quicker out of sleep mode, far worse file explorer, lots of integrated software. What makes it such a great operating system that blows Windows out of the water?

You bring up a good point here. Both OS's do quite well. One thing that people forget is that many applications that are available in one OS has an similar application in the other. For example, Spotlight is extremely great at launching and finding things quickly. Wish you had something like that in Windows XP? No problem! Download a little application called "Launchy". Works quite well on my work laptop. A little time Googling up if an application exists in a certain OS reaps wonders.

I love having the ability to run both. I get the best of both worlds when running XP/Vista in VMWare Fusion on the MBP.

Ipod Mini
4g Ipod

and within the next week I will have a Blackbook and an Ipod touch.

Yea, i'm just gonna go repurchase a macbook in a couple of days. Because applecare is cheaper than other warranties, it ends up costing only a bit more either way.

It's not better, it's not worse, but just different. I'm a PC person, and I liked XP and love Vista. I think that OS X is nice, but considering I've always used Windows, I just can't get used to OS X because it functions so differently. Both operating systems are nice; it all depends on what one prefers.

Can't everyone just get along?

it all depends on what one prefers

Right on!

I own a 5th Gen Apple IPod, 80GB.

I hate it, crashes everytime I use Itunes with it and the battery life is crap already! :|

Someone send me a Zune 80GB, I hear they are perfection in an MP3 Player!

it sucks that the zune isn't compatible with OSX.
