VISTA has come to gether with an idea, to block all websites that offer FREE DOWNLOADING, to block all P2P software. the other day i decided to upgrade my morpheus and to my surprise anything that i wanted to download would be blocked, i typed in a song, tried to download it and it says, THIS IS A COPY RIGHTED VERSION. they are taking over our entertainment. in 5 years vista will be installed on every computer in the world. go to your daily harvey norman or WOW catalogue and what do you see, every single laptop, pc, now comes with vista. vista only came out like a month ago they would have to be mad to offer it already installed. maybe if you listen to the song DOWNLOAD THIS SONG by MC LARS you will understand. pass this on. tell everybody you know, about VISTA. just amagin, teenagers of the future having to pay for their music and movies. everywhere you look there is freakin vista. we have no choice they are forcing us to upgrade, thats why all the new computers and laptops are coming out with vista, and then you have to go and buy xp because your not happy with vista. it sucks not to mention over 60 programs dont work on it including norton anti virus and trend micro. also MSN doesn’t work but i dont use it anyway.

OS X's graphics layer was evolved progressively to increasingly take advantage of graphics hardware. The advantage to this approach was that the graphics system supports the same features on all systems; even those without 600$ graphics cards. The end design is also very sensible IMO. Not as wiz-bang as vistas, but I think it's more elegant. Ars Technica 10.4 review has a great overview of the evolution of Quartz over time. An interesting lesson in software engineering could be gleaned from Vista. I'm not sure what kinda of lesson though. :-P I can’t say much about the rest of the system, but the graphics aspects of Vista vs OS X is a great commentary on the benefits of evolving software systems.

Even as I gamer I dont see myself needing Vista until DirectX 10.0 becomes a BIG THING. That said, I dont see Vista having steep system requirements as a problem, there comes a certain point when its time to buy a new PC imo. I'm also curious as to how well Vista will run on older machines with Aero and all the other nifty affects turned off. I mean, yes, other operating systems will run on much older hardware, but you arent going to get Beryl/XGL running on your old pentium II. If Vista can run on older hardware with some of its graphical tricks turned off, problem solved. Haha you could be setting yourself up for your very own blog Mac vs. PC flame war. ;-)
