If I had a spare system I'de probably check it out. I hear it's much, much better than Vista. I guess Vista will go down in history like WinME.

DOWNLOAD SCORE:
Windows Vista/Internet Explorer: -3
Apple OS-X/Safari:1

That was THREE FAILED downloads of the 32 bit version on Vista, and 1 successful download on OS-X

Same internet connection, same wireless router, but my trusty old iMac kicked butt and took names, left the Vista laptop in the dust, not only did it finish the download in 1 try, but it downloaded at 3 times the speed as well.

WELL DONE, APPLE (take a lesson, Microsoft!)
