Mac desktop. Supposedly there are new models coming out sometime soon,
but nothing rumored about the still vaporware models seemed that
significant to me, although they will be to others, I suspect, who are
more into computer games and heavy duty graphics and math processing.

Also snagged a beta of Windows 7, which just about anyone can do via
Microsoft's open beta for at least the short term, and burned it onto a
DVD. It'll be the "alternatve" OS on the new Mac. I run Vista as the
alternative on my Macbook Pro, works fine.

And my old desktop machine is now updated and "ready" to be
"server-ized."

Is Windows 7 designed to be an upgrade from Vista, or is it strictly a
completely new OS install?

Windows 7 is Vista regurgitated. Not much difference. Marketing ploy
really, they messed up with Vista so fix a few things and a new name.

Why someone would buy a Mac and run Vista eludes me.



The simple answer is that there are a few apps I use without Mac
equivalents. Windows runs just as well on a Mac through bootcamp as it
does on a plain old PC that does not run the Mac OS.
