I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Shift-Lock is the way to go, IMO.

I also prefer PC (XP & Vista), though I've used both Mac and Linux before.

The thread title was fine because it said based, so I didn't include it in my post to be inline with the thread title, then realized the context doesn't transfer to my post.

Dual booting Ubuntu and Win7 at the moment.

Chicken go cluck cluck cow go moo

I have always used Windows. The other day the pc lab was full at my school so i went into the mac lab, logged in, and couldn't figure out how to print, log out, or even right click, so I will remain a windows man for the remainder of my years.

If you continue to use Vista, the apple freaks will make sure thats soon.

I used to be a Mac fanboy, switched to Windows on my 13th birthday. Never turning back.

I also hate Apple's current legal mindset, suing the pants off their competition rather than out-competing them. And they've been copyrighting the most ridiculous things such as rectangles with rounded corners, the page turning animation used on some of their apps, and wedge shaped laptops.

Mac and Windows.

For a laptop I will always go with a Mac. Mostly because other brands that run Windows come with FAR too much clutter and useless programs. They are also highly reliable (current Mac laptop is nearly 4 years old) and run smoothly with very few problems.

For a desktop, Windows all the way. The only reason I would buy a desktop is for the processing power to play games and render films. And those two things combined is something that Windows allows me to do that a Mac can't quite match.

Bloatware shouldn't be your reason (or one of the deciding factors) for not purchasing a computer. That's what fresh installs are for.
