There's been a lot of talk that Windows is a load of poo, and that Leopard on Macs runs circles around the poo. I would agree, in fact I was looking to buy a Mac earlier this semester. However, given the price of computers and the fact that my old Dell 700m still works well, I decided to hold off on switching for a little while longer. At least until my laptop gets thrown off a building, run over by a car, or just plain overheats and dies. In the meantime, I've been using Windows Vista (it's $34 at the University store). It's not too bad. Granted, many elements seem to be ripped-off from the Mac OS, but it does what it needs to do.

My most recently run-in with some nice Windows feature occurred this morning. Last night I updated some incorrect drivers to my sound card, which resulted in no sound card at all. In fact, my computer is usually my alarm clock in the mornings, and this morning I did not wake up until 2 hours after when I should have been up. Anyways, after realizing what had happened, I was able to use the System Restore feature to roll back my driver installation to yesterday evening prior to the driver upgrade. Windows rebooted itself, and now iTunes functions like it is supposed to. Quick and painless. So I'm okay with staying with Windows for a little while longer.

That probably sounds totally heretical to those in the Apple camp.
