That’s right. I lasted a whole 2 days before I thought the disk space was of far more value to OSX than to running Windows.
The install was easy enough, and the drivers being included on the leopard disk means everything runs smoothly. I think the best hardware for running windows on is a mac.
Of course then there were gigabytes of updates to download, and I needed a virus scanner (AVG is acceptable and free). Then IE7 and firefox to download, I think it took me half a day to get setup. It took me another half a day to realise what a bad choice I had made.
My macbook running OSX is fast and stable. I rarely have a crash, startup is quick, and though not lightning, most applications start quickly and the computer always seems responsive. Now in XP, I didn’t have a Vista disk handy, my computer became a steaming pile of poo to use.
My fresh install was slow and unreliable and plain and simple frustrating. So I spent a day getting what I need from the playstation store and then I reclaimed my disk space.
If you really think Windows compares you haven’t given Mac a fair go, or simply have no taste.
