Mac vs. PC

[Randzz]

I have Vista, and honestly, its not that bad.

I'm afraid to get Vista.  Firstly stabalization is a big thing for me & I've heard that it's even less stable the XP pro; second I've got some old programs on my PC which I still use & adore (Quark Xpress 4 as the prime example & the old D&D 2e Core Rules program as the other).  One thing I've heard pretty consistently about Vista is that it's not all that friendly to older programs like the ones I mentioned.   I don't wanna get a new OS & suddenly see that a program that I'm use to & like I can no longer use due to compatability issues like this.  

On the Mac side I'm seriously considering getting a notebook.  I've tried a friends & you can open up an unlimited number of windows with no slowdowns.  If you've got Virtual PC games tend to run pretty smoothly (I've seen MAME32 run pretty well).

I am more use to the PC since that's what I've grown up with,  but I'm starting to get sick of the lack of quality & stability of M$ & M$-related products.

May I suggest Linux? It's opensource, which means M$ has nothing to do with it. It's certainly not flawless, but it's a good option if you want the hardware flexibility of a PC without having to resort to Windoze. There's a thread around here somewhere on Linux, if you want to take a look at that.
