Digital BW, The Print

Ditto.  I bought a new laptop a year ago and XP was not an option. 
Even with Aero disabled, it takes forever to book and shut down. While
the widgets are neat, the cost in terms of time to book makes them
unusable.  It denies me access to directories on what seems to be an
ad hoc basis and constantly asks for permission to do anything.  I
find it clunky and less dependable than XP which I run on desktops at
home and at school.  While I am not an expert, I bought my first Apple
in 1982 and have had computers since.  I seem to spend much more time
dealing the the OS than I ever do with XP. It seems as if I use every
Ango-Saxo word I know every time I turn it on, and a few I don't.

I know the grass always looks greener, but I am ready to try a MAC for
PS when it comes time to upgrade the computer I use for photography. 
(That is a comment on Vista and not a request for MAC - PC comparisons.)
