Lol… this is such an old beta it was quite ugly back then but what can you say this was a year ago. And yea Thats right BETA kids it means there still working on it its not a finished product so dont discourage. Currently its coming along really nicely i think. And as for it looking like mac well how can you prove that they stole ideas from mac… you cant actually prove that in anyway. How do we not know that microsoft has had ideas for alot of the features that theyve implemented in it prior to mac including them. Another note is that this happens everyday in businesses. They take from ideas and they build upon them and they try to make them better. Its not who implemented them first rather who can do a better job. And the finished product on Vista will do exactly that. Another thing i have to add is that Apple isn’t so orginal themselves. Alot of features they’ve added to there os’ are apparent that they have been taken from other places as well. Does anyone remember when Apple tried to sue microsoft back in the 80′s saying it stole its ideas for a GUI based Os? The first GUI based OS was made by Xerox Palo Alto Research Team. Steve Jobs had visited there before he released his OS. He hired away workers who worked on the Xerox Research. Alot of the ideas he got from them were thus included in his OS. And this is true because Xerox tried to sue Apple for the same reason they tried to sue Microsoft for. Here’s a link from New York Times Story 1989 -

The reason Apple tries to point the blame towards Microsoft because its number one competitor of course there gonna try to do that. Apple is just another hypocritical company that wants your money and they’ll do what it takes to make its competitor look bad if it will bring in the profit. When it all boils down to it Apple is no Angel. The only reason Pc’s get a bad rap is because all the stupid fuckin people who use pc’s sorry to say. Ima Pc User. My computer does not crash ever, My computer isnt ridded with viruses because i know wtf im doing. And now if you got a modern pc with Xp service pack 2 you should have no reason for your comp to be crashing or anything of that matter anyways. My Alienware system tops just about any Mac system. Blame the users rather the actual OS dumbfucks! Half the times its your own godamn error that resulted in your pc fucking up. I really hate to say it but its the people who use PC’s who give them bad names. Windows in no way sucks. Least not Service Pack 2 and up. Vista will deffinantly do justice in the final release…

wow look at Tigers features and compare them to vistas like the calendar, search, and the UI and then come back when you know what your talking about then start your geek war. And whoever said that macs crash and are slow cant be any farther from the truth, they run just as fast if not faster than all PCs becuz of all the anti-virus, spyware and adware programs they don’t need. The only reason for the 95% and decreasing market share is because PCs r just for non tech people who have an obsession with porn

….and, id also like to add about all those guys saying it looks like windows xp with…bla bla bla…dont you think that the whole windows/folders/files system used on both windows xp and mac osx is a good way to go..very user friendly and easy to get on with…why would they stray to far from something that works well.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but do you guys not think that the look and feel of vista will be totally customisable. Im sure it will. So everyone can be happy with the way it looks. In my opinion, they are coders and making vista powerful in terms of the way it works (as a priority). As long as the games and os perform and the interface for the os is customisable thats fine for me.

“my client arrives, I didn’t have the requested changes made… I lost my $250 contract… so when Apple, MS, Linux, or any other OS creator decides to pay me back… I’ll tell you which one is better… until then they all suck ass!!!”

First off, what the hell were you thinking using a beta OS to work on your critical business files? Secondly, after your poor decision results in eminently forseeable disaster, how big of a douchebag do you have to be to whine about in public?

To the guy who said that Windoze is better than OS X… you’re a complete twat. The reason why 95% of your world is using Windoze is because 95% of your world is using IBM Peecees. Try counting the thousands of Windows users now buying the new Macs and figuring out that although they can dual boot – they prefer to use the Mac OS for productivity and Windoze for games-only.

Funny. Mac OS 10.0 to 10.3 had translucent window bars when the window was “inactive”. Now Microsoft is licking up the scraps of that era. Funny.

I am running Windows Vista Beta 2 on my MacBook Pro. It runs flawlessly. Super fast, super eye candy. Not a Mac OS, but impressive to say the least. I love dual booting. The best of both worlds. I turn on my computer and I choose if I want to run Vista or Tiger. MMMM…

i can see what some of you guys are saying, it does look like OSX a bit with all the glass effects and that, but cmon windows is windows nobody can change that. Windows has always been better than OSX thats why 95% of the worlds computers run windows.

Wow! It looks exactly like Windows XP with too much transparency. It seems microsoft is trying way too hard to copy apple in design. For example expose, the dock, the genie effect, spotlight, dashboard etc. Is there a R&D department at microsoft? It seems that they have no idea to present of their own. OSX looks like it was designed to be used in a advanced environment such as a business meeting or an engineering lab while vista appears at home in a kindergarden classroom. And when it is released microsoft fanboys will tell apple fanboys that microsoft created all of the innovations. And microsoft will receive all attention. I use PC for gaming only in windows. Othewise, on my PC I use debian linux. For all computing except gaming the mac will always be my perfered platform.

People plz. Everyone knows that the ULTIMATE gui is one where theres’s a commandline window with a blinking cursor. No mouse. Monochrome colors. Everything must be typed in, and there will be no security holes as everything about the OS will be so obscure that even hackers wouldn’t want to hack it.

Macs are better than windows in terms of UI? Maybe. But each OS is excels in areas where the other fails miserably. Why is this comparison always being done?

It’s just like the argument that Linux’s security is a gazillion times better than Windows’s security.

This is true, but also for people who know wtf they are doing, the securtiy issue is NOT as big a deal as people claim. If you’re behind a hardware firewall/soft firewall, don’t click on iwillhaXorj00.com, have pop-up blockers and anti-virus and don’t click on weird emails you’re probably going to be safe without needing Linux grade security.

So while Linux is safer than windows no n00b who really needs the safety can ever hope to use the OS, not just because it has a steep learning curve, but also because not all the software they need is availble on the machine.

“well if you can imagine all the benefits of such an architecture, then maybe you’ll grasp the real power of what MS is trying to achieve with Vista, when they’re exposing the entire OS via .NET.”

That has to be the scariest thing I have read all year!! If that is true, I am NEVER putting Vista on my PC because it will be a hackers wet dream. With all the security holes that already exist in .NET and Windows, combining the 2 would be a huge mistake.

if you were truly hardcore you would make you own gui in linux. anyways vista looks pretty good. it should be more stable now and have alot of extra features.

im sick of mac users bitching about vista.
they need to get over it. Os x sucks i know this from experience i have used macs quite alot. so dont use ur usual “you never used a mac before”.

im really sick of people saying that everyone is riping mac osx off. A standard was set with the first gui and every other one was loosely based off of it to some degree. just becouse vista or longhorn, whatever u want to call it has a unattractive gui dosent mean thats what they are going to use in the end and they spent more time on fixing up the actual os than just the gui.

I totally agree with you, 98 is much better than others specially with games.

By: Dave

Dave — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 21:24:51 +0000

I still use Windows 98 and think it is one of the best operating systems Microsoft has put out. I will not upgrade to XP or Vista simply because of the resource issue. I have never had an unexpected system crash with 98 and to be totally honest, my music sounds the same on XP as it does on 98…I’m sure Vista will not have any new advancements here. Newer is not always better!
