"Do you want to download this?" "Are you sure?" "You positive, you do know there are risks to downloading things?" (you continune clicking Yes), "Fine dont say i didnt warn you".

You haven't seen graphical quality until you have seen the nVidia GeForce 8 Series! I was like "WOW" and I am not referring to framerates!
You can always go into User Accounts, and turn off "User Account Control" to get rid of the incessant nagging.

Take Instant Search, that is basically a copy of Finder or Spotlight. Basic File Back Up and Restore is just a copy of Time Machine on OS X Leopard. Say you have something deleted and you did it on accident and you wanted it back. You don't have to set up some horrible back up disk, just enter the date on the Time Machine and it will go BACK! Sure, you're thinking, I LOVE AERO! Did you know that Apple already had an Aero like program called Aqua? Aqua is on every Mac OS X Version! So, why have the hassle with Vista, which uses up a lot of RAM and it delays Toontown. GET A MAC!!

If you are spending $40 / year on Norton AntiVirus, you need to stop buying off-the-shelf PCs. Grisoft AVG Free and Avast! AV Personal are FREE and fully functional for Home use, and they don't have nag screens or other junk.
I'm sure there will be a way around even the UNIX-like security in MacOSX for ****ware to get in. Simply don't browse web sites that are pop-up galleries.
That "Time Machine" rollback feature must really eat up the hard drive after a lot of time. I can understand the usefulness of it, but I turn off System Restore in Windows to save gigabytes of disk space, so I would probably do the same on OSX, if I could.
I'm well aware of Apple's leading the world in GUI design, they always have. However, I like the Windows-like buttons interface, as opposed to OSX, which if you combine Windows and Linux/UNIX/whateverIX, OSX is the odd number with it's different button configuration. I'm just glad OSX has right-click. That was a sorely missing feature on the Classic MacOS. When I installed it on my Pentium 4 "GIGABYTE", first thing I did was put my mouse on an empty part of the desktop, and right-click, at which a menu popped up, a beam of light shone down from the ceiling and a nun chorus went "LA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!"

Dual Boot OSX!
Just make sure you have an ATi Graphics Card, not an nVidia.
Personally, I will stick with XP, because I got Vista Business X86 from School, and ditto on everyday use. Within a week, it becomes a slow, grounding resource monster that takes ten years to load up anything. And that's after a defrag. For gaming, I decided to pop Windows 2000 on another hard disk and transfer all my games onto it. Windows 2000 uses 120 MB of RAM, so I have very little overhead and compatibility with almost every game out there!
Windows Vista Or Mac OS X Tiger?
