And if it looks good, the rest of it MAY be the same. Windows 98 looked ugly and didn't perform so well.

ANYway - I actually quite like the new taskbar. It's one step towards removing useless junk.

715639 2008-10-29 07:41:00 You know you are almost the PC equivalent of WMG.
Looks is a completely brainless way to choose something.

With your specs, what have you got to skite about?
Macs can equal if not better that too you know.

MAC

* One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon
* Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
* Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Mac Pro systems support up to 32GB of 800MHz DDR2

* 2GB (2x1GB)
* 4GB (4x1GB)
* 8GB (4x2GB)
* 16GB (4x4GB)
* 16GB (8x2GB)
* 32GB (8x4GB)


* 320GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
* 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
* 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
* 300GB 15,000-rpm SAS
* 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s

* ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
* 2 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
* 3 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
* 4 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB

Can't say I've seen too many PC boards supporting 32Gb RAM yet.

32gb of RAM is overkill unless you're going to use it as a server.
I must admit though, macs are fast:p

Agreed.
Confession time:p
That would have to be me too.
I use vista only for its good looks.
If you disable anything M$ featured in vista that wasn't in XP, its all good:banana

my fav game would have to be chess titans though...

715643 2008-10-29 08:51:00 I'm waiting for M$ to go "Bugger this - theres no money in OS'es" and focus on Office. dolby digital (5073)
715644 2008-10-29 18:23:00 There is money in OS's - without an OS, there's no computer. Even with the web, we still need something to connect to it. :) pcuser42 (130)
715645 2008-10-29 18:48:00 MS have announced that Win 7 will not be as annoying as Vista.
Hell, you could say the same for a ferret in the trousers.
