To be honest I hate all the graphic nonsense so I switch to the classic (Windows 2000) look of the interface.

This one always gives me a chuckle. Certainly this is a factor in why Macs are so popular - the interface doesn't 'look clunky, but 'artful' ' .

That's no benchmarks! Its just some opinion.
And why is Vista running so good, because the MacPro is the best PC.
Some buying guide:
--- Code: ---OS of choice OSX Vista
<1000 euro buy Hackintosh buy PC (The PC is actually the same as the Hackintosh)
1000-2000 euro buy Hackintosh buy PC (if you want some Eizo instead of crappy bundle/built in mirror screens)
1000-2000 euro buy iMac consider iMac (in case graphics card and monitor quality is total ass to you)
>2000 euro buy MacPro buy MacPro
All in one buy iMac buy iMac
--- End code ---

Where is the MacMini in the buying guide? It's ignored because the machine is total awesome yet total ass.
It is the best crafted Mac ever, and the best selling one at the moment!
Yet it should have been 20x20x5cm, have a Wolfdale E8400 3Ghz, use a 500Gb 3,5 inch SATA, be CD/DVD-drive-less (OSX on USB stick), have built in PSU, been based on a desktop chipset with decent 1333mhz FSB and sport some decent graphics like a 9600GT. Why o why did they go with notebook components on a desktop? Therefore, the MacMini is banned to hell on my list, yet I cuddle every day with my G4 mini. It's so demmit cute!

...you may change your opinion slightly when you move to Vista. I'm a PC guy and Vista made me consider moving to Macs.

I will "NEVER" willingly move to Vista... the day I am forced to is the day it happens. I think I'll end up skipping that OS all together.

hehe. i was like that with XP. if my pc hadnt died in 2002, id still be using win98!
Blanka:
I have the same with OSX. Because of the springy dock, the black apple, the welcome video, the default desktop, too much brushed metal and the Time Machine fancy graphics, I refuse to go from Tiger to Leopard. But the programmers run away with Leopard. If all started writing Cocoa back in the 10.1 era, they actually would be programming good software now, and supporting Jaguar through Leopard would be peanuts. But many still use Carbon, and make programs Leo only because of support for some fancy Leopard function that no-one uses. So for the future apps, I have to buy that ugly purple-galaxy X-box some day I fear. Snow Leopard may be the light at the horizon, but somehow I fear even more crap with 10.6. Snow Leopard, who came up with that stupid name? Maybe its time to call it OSX 7. Just dull and efficient like Windows 7. Or OS 16! If we start counting from OS 1 again.... Snow Leo would be OS 16. Thats a bit more updates than on the Windows side. Steve earned a lot of OS dollars because of that!
Wait! Those retards in Redmond miscalculated! 1,2,3,95,98,2000,XP,Vista.... Windows 9!
