Well said msva124. And I know my previous post was a little scattered because I was addressing a multitude of issues, but just because my views are different than someone else's doesn't mean I'm "uninformed". There's no way to argue that Windows is as secure or semi-full proof as OSX, it just isn't close to it, even for "experienced" users. Go try and catch a virus, fatal error, or mass of spyware on OSX, if it happens, it's a VERY SMALL occurrence.

As for why Vista can't be released in one package, it's because of either a)MS's inability to optimize the code for even the "older" machines or b)MS is making an OS that's overly induced with eye candy (and not enough substance in my opinion) to run on older machines. Don't try to pass the blame on computer manufacturer's or consumers, they don't make the damn OS. Secondly, look at OSX, say what you want about how Apple has sole property of what computers the OS goes on, etc. etc., it doesn't change the fact that even with all the graphical effects, OSX can still run on a ten year old Mac. That's because they are capable of creating an OSX that is coded to run well on as many different systems as possible.
