You forgot the chapter about cupping Bill's balls while you blow him. If you are going to buy 7, then you obviously forgot what a joke Vista was or you just like paying to get drilled up the ass. How many times do you want to buy a new version of a sun dried turd? I moved to Linux from Windows and will never go back. Windows is a freaking bad dream that never ends. BTW, Microsuck won't suffer from Vista's epic letdown; people like you will run out and buy it.
Linux-because restarting your system is only for new hardware installations, not daily usage.
So basically, both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are under-the-hood overhauls to their corresponding predecessors? In other words, making them what they should've been in the beginning?
Dedicated to OMG! Ponies! on the Snow Leopard discussion:
Geez, Gizmodo! Suck much Redmond cock lately?
You guys are nothung but a bunch of fanboys! Every time I come here its Windoze this and 7 that. You guys NEVER!!! give ANY coverage to APple! EVER! All I see on this stupid website is ALL M$! liek Bill Geats invented the goddam wheel or something.
WAKE UP! M$ is a company that just wants your money$$$$ Do you think the Almighty Gates gives a rat$ a$$ about making people happy! No! He'$ in his gigantic man$ion counting his money$ and laughing at the mentally disabled and eople who cunt spelz like you who give him free press!
Just ONCE I'd like to see some articiles about Apple that arent making fun of Apple or something like that. STOP JERKING OFF BILL GATES AND WRITE STUFF LIKE A REAL REPORTERS!!!!
probably a pain in the @$$ to upgrade to Windows 7. Upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard the friday it was released. changed about 3 or 4 computers to Snow Leopard. No problem at all and it didnt even take that long.
I've installed both on my Mac Pro. Did a clean install of Windows though. For some reason, the beta version of Live messenger crashed the OS every time I opened it. Seems to run quick although it takes about twice as long to boot as Snow Leopard. Overall I still like OS X better, but there are a few annoying bugs I hope Apple fixes soon.
The main reason I boot to Windows, besides checking my sites in Explorer is for the games: [ski.ihoc.net]
"Windows 7? You guys are totally biased and can't get enough of MS. It totally blows. You reek of Bill Gates' man juice. Gosh!
"Wait? What? A Snow Leopard guide too?

Wah fucking wah, boo fucking hoo. Thanks for posting these guides, Giz. I'd like to say it quelled some of the babies who frequent the site, but from looking at the comments people still get their panties in a bunch over the absolutely most trivial shit ever. However, I suppose these rivalries will always exist.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Jalopnik to explain why Chevy is better than Ford.
So I'm thinking about installing a Windows OS on my Macbook via bootcamp, and am wondering weather to take the Win7 plunge. Anyone have any recommendations as to weather I should pick up a copy of XP or go to Win7?
@Daniel Rosenthal: I clean installed both Snow Leopard and Win7 and aside from a long boot up time from Win7, they're both running quite nicely. As long as you have 2 GB of RAM you should be fine and Win7 is definitely what Vista should have been. It feels great, especially with all the macbook drivers allowing two finger right clicking and scrolling.
@Tiger-Fever:
I've got Win7 running on my eee 900a with 1GB of ram. No problems. It's crazy smooth and very perky.
So, (granted 2 wouldn't hurt) IMO even with only 1GB ram, Win7 runs fine.
(My only issue is that the small screen size means some (non-re-sizable) windows end up off the screen (including their OK/Cancel buttons).
Our Uni has Win7 pro up and as soon as I get a new HDD I'm upgrading ( Woot!)
I used the beta and thought it was fantastic, however I had one major gripe and that was that any folders, shortcuts, my computer etc all got bundled in the Explorer jump list thing. Is there a way to separate them yet?
I currently use Object Dock on my second screen so I guess it won't be too much trouble, but it could start to get annoying having to use object dock as my main taskbar.
@Wicked1: Chances are you won't need two licenses to install 7 on two computers. I've installed the same copy of Vista on three different machines now, twice on two of them, and haven't had any problems.
Phenomenal review.... but ive been wondering, what do us users with build 7600 as our only OS do?? Can I upgrade, or does it have to be a Custom install?
One feature I like is the ability to reorder the apps you have in your taskbar. I like mine to be in an order that makes sense, so it's annoying to me when I would have to close an app and reopen it just to have it appear at the end of the list (out of place). Nitpicky but I'm glad they added this feature!
Hey was wondering if anyone can clarify this. I just got done talking to a Comcast Tech support. I asked them if the internet will work with Windows 7 (they had problems with xp64, but eventually got it to work). The Tech said that if i installed windows 7 RC, i would have no internet.
@Yasir Yafai: Do you prefer Mac OS X or WIndows. If you have liked Max OS X so far why change? Snow Leopard is only $29, is much faster than Leopard, and introduces some great new technology especially in conjunction with newer hardware. If you preferred Windows then 7 is a great upgrade to the OS and is a what Vista should have been and more. 7 from Vista is like what Mac OS 10.0 was to 10.2. Just remember Windows is still Windows, if you had a problem with it before you most likely will have a problem with it again.
