Everything Else,

MAC attack

I see that Bill Gates has is panties in a bunch over Apple’s new ads. Poor, poor rich man – can’t take it can he (I’m hearing Bugs Bunny now).

The Apple ads are funny, sarcastic, and true.

I installed Vista as I previously blogged. The Vista tester told me – no problem, go for it. My computer ran like an old Russian tractor. After the purchase of two additional gigs of RAM I’m pretty much ok.

The UAC prompts that pop up are the biggest pain. Imagine working along, several windows open, several different task going on, blogging your random thoughts, and boom, your screen goes black (at least they didn’t choose blue as in the BSoD). It then re-appears grayed-out with a prompt as to whether you want to allow the action to occur. Ummm, yeah, I just clicked on a program because I wanted to install, uninstall, or change it. Well there goes that thought out the window(s).

Vista is Windows on steroids trying to be a MAC. If I didn’t need my PC, I’d toss it.

In regard to Mr. Gates complaints against Apple and Mr. Jobs – at least Mr. Jobs is throwing some innovative stuff out there. See: Jobs Calls for End to Music Copy Protection. All Mr. Gates can do is gripe.
