Vista Computers Half the Cost of Macs on Average

[chandru.in]

What does my MVP status has to do with anything here??. I just wrote an article about Vista PCs being half the cost of Mac & look where have u taken the discussion. Is this relevant to this thread....

I never argued about the article you posted itself. Please read what I have quoted when I said that. It is not your article post it is your false claims.

I might sound dumb but I am surprised to see that people still argue about such things. It used to be fun before but it's lost it's charm now.

How Sad

VS 2008 takes at least 10-13 seconds to start in my friends XP system at office (sorry our mgmt has not yet been brain-washed to move to Vista) which has Intel C2D and 2 GB RAM. If that is the case on a light OS like XP think of Vista.

I am a bit skeptic about this. VS 2008 takes less than 5 seconds to load. and another 8-10 sec for creating a new project, this includes my delay in clicking the new project icon and selecting a project type. On the other hand VS 2005 took abt 30 sec for the whole process.

My system config. P4 2.8 Ghz & 768 MB RAM. XP SP3

I have also used trail version of VS 2008, and its fast. Didn't measured the time.

Yeah, eclipse on my PC takes longer than VS 2005. I was impressed with Eclipse IDE for the little time i had to work on JAVA, now a happier .net guy.

Macs are expensive..

self built computers with self customised distro half the cost of vista computers and double the performance.

Builing a house yourself is much cheaper and much more flexible than letting the housing developers build the house for you.

but........

Not really. Unlike a house there are people ready to assemble the system for you free of cost.

For example in Bangalore go to SP road and enter any shop selling computer components. Pick the components you need and they assemble it for you free of cost. Take it home and install any distro like Ubuntu (not necessarily self-cutomized), it would be half the cost or may be even less than half of branded Vista PCs.

Definitely not as difficult as building a house.

which is why people do prefer/dream of building their own homes.
