Visceral: I dont have any major issues with 7. i just dont think either OSX or 7 are all that great. both still have things which could improve. 7 has however added the things i missed from OSX.
on release it was a disaster. that taste stuck in a lot of mouths. You should try 7 the aero UI is actually becoming usefull. the taskbar stacks are great.
My windows 7 experience has been fine.... after I was able to troubleshoot how to get it to install without hanging. I had to run the install in low rez mode and then force explorer to start after it fails to finish the install procedure. Copying stuff from my old Vista drive was a nightmare too, the permissions got all…
Curious as to what problems you guys are having with Windows 7 that makes you say it's good but not great? I've been running it on two PC's for what must be over a year now and the only problem I've had is that I need to disable windows tablet service because it's shitty and annoying.

This issue has existed since the Beta, I was installing an OEM copy of Win7. Having most likely built in excess of 1,000 PC's in my lifetime I'm ready for weird…

On the inside, its hardware is still the same ATI graphic card, or Intel CPU that you can buy at a store so the performance differences are…
i'm working on the new imac 27" - dunno if there is a newer one. you better get a good aircondition, when its hot these things crash like hell, freeze all the time and are very annoying, also they scratched 10cds already - the ati card and drivers built in are a mess, you need to remove them and exchange them with the…
I have a mac because; when I open the box, turn it on and install Maya I can start working immediately. I tried to work with Windows 7 for about a year now but I switched back to Mac OS X. Also, I like the fact that my MacBook Pro looks good, I find that I work much more efficient if I have nice, clean looking products…
I dunno about the 2 year PC lifespan thing, my PCs usually last about 7-8 years before needing to be put down. Of course they become horribly obsolete by that time for 3d work but they still run. Just buy quality parts, they don't have to be top of the line expensive just reliable. In other words the least amount of heat…
