Windows is over prices, yes. But most people consider only the Ultimate edition for Vista, when Home premium is all they need for $300.
& For $ 300 they get full MCE Suite, Best file browser in the world, one of the best media player in the world, plethora of technologies & suparb hardware & 3rd party support. An OS that you will use for next many years

Hardware maybe but support? I dont think so.
I recently got a Core 2 Duo for the office. Busted during the lightstorm. Gave it for repairs. Took fifteen days. Came back its still not working. That's what support you get for crappy hardware. With apple, if they have to take that long, they provide you with a standby piece. And it always comes back working...
And we are sure that Vista is going to be used for many years to come....MS isn't that capable of releasing a new OS for at least another 7 years...

Yup, it runs fine on your "existing" computer. What about a new buyer?gx_saurav said:
nah, if he already has a Mac then it will run Leopard just fine.gx_saurav said:
You just cannot factor in the cost of the hardware to help your stupid argument when we are discussing the price of the operating system.
Why even assume that? It costs thirty five thousand bucks and not a paisa more.amanbandla said:
Here's a lesson for fellow forum members, too much association with gx_saurav turns you into a liar too. Wasn't it you who was getting BSoDs on using instant messaging programs? We, human beings, call that incompatibility.iMav said:what driver issues, what incompatible softwaresi havent faced any issue may be these mac boys try to run their mac applications on vista and then say software compatibility nahi hai
Oh, rest assured no one does that because it is not possible. The reverse, however, is possible.iMav said:

How good is a MCE suite if I have to struggle configuring a TV card to MCE. What about starters?
Only things that I see good in Vista are Media player and IE7, which I can install on XP too. Rest is bull****
Superb hardware and 3rd party support???
In one of the old posts regarding tv tuners, you said that pinnacle Mediacentre does not work with Vista. There are countless such applications and you say superb?

Well, correct statement should be "An OS that you SHOULD use for next many years.
eg: Halo 2 PC edition runs only on Vista. huh. what is this? Microsoft forcing end users to move to Vista. huh.
aryayush said:Why even assume that? It costs thirty five thousand bucks and not a paisa more.
hehe. Assuming apple will cut down the dual core version to 40k
That means a core solo mini for 35k and coreduo mini for 40k

Yes, that should be considered but only if you don't have any Mac already. $129 is very justified for only OS. Obviously H/W cost is going to be more than that of a OS. Do you consider Windows Vista Ultimate Full for $359.00 is justified? Add to that the cost of H/W atleast Rs. 20,000-22,000 ie. roughly $500 to run Vista with minimum functionality. So the total cost of system is nearly $860. This is ridiculous.

I think that ebay seller is trying to get rid of it.
seriously, I would not trust such sellers on ebay. Just check how much reputation that seller has.

My God...you are such an ignorant macboy. Ever tried running those apps in compatibility mode?
Lolz...you have never configured MCE, Have you? Just install the Pinnacle PCTV Update which makes it compatible with Vista MCE & start using it man. i don't know why it seems so hard to you. If you buy a hardware based TV Tuner then MCE automatically configures it cos most of the hardware tuners are already profiled in MCE. Besied you get MCE with OEM computers which are already configured.
Is it Vista's fault that developer decide not to release Vista compatible products for there old offerings, so that people buy the new once. Is it Vista'a fault that nVidia is no longer supporting GeForce FX after 4 years of it's release in Vista.

You've got it backwards, buddy. There is no core solo Mac in the market, none at all. The lowest configured Mac Mini also has a Core Duo processor and it retails for Rs. 34,999 including taxes.ambandla said:hehe. Assuming apple will cut down the dual core version to 40k

Strange. We linux losers whine about the same when it comes to ATI drivers/popular software not being available there.
