To run that one version of MacOS X you need a Apple Mac throwing your current PC into garbage. Don't forget to add it's cost.

Many versions, as abeforth said targets a large audience. Not everyone wants a MCE or Aero based UI, so why pay for it. It's good that MS has relesed so many version, now if only they could create awareness to tell the customar which version is right for them.



Yes, but you tell me, like I said above. Why pay for features that u do not need. In that case isn't home premium for less price a better option. It's nothing wrong in Vista having choices in so many forms. Don't compare it like MacOS X as nepcker said, MacOS run only on Apple hardware while Vista runs on so many hardware choices from so many Vendors.



This is what Upgrade means.



You can install VMWare on Vista basic & run it fine.



Like I said above, you will need to buy a new Apple Mac to run it. so it's a total of Rs 38k



& can u run it properly on it? Andy's Mac mini doesn't have proper OpenGL 2.0 graphics & I doubt if it will support core animation.



Cos you have already paid for the hardware. Why do u forget that



it better to bug a user then to let him screw his computer


you are not adding the cost of other components like Monitor keyboard, mouse, speakers, cam etc. It will easily cross 40k then

For once, I'll follow intelligent advice:

at the very mention of Apple, you go raising alarms. Grow up....
... remember this statement: Don't Feed The Troll.

So, I won't. I can only thank gx_saurav for his enlightening post - totally makes me want to go out and buy Vista today!

I dont think that Vista will run here in India because many people have p3 which is probably not supported by Vista. In other countries it may run. However now the OSS is coming up. It will go ahead than Microsoft.

Pentium 3 . Dude have u been seeing the goverment offices of Indian only? Majority of home users have Pentium 4 & Athlon64 which is fine to run Vista. The era of pentium 4 was the real time when Computer & PC usage incresed a lot in India

I think the point shouldnt be will it fly or fall. Its too narrow a choice. Really windows doenst have much a alternative. I know 2 or 3 linux people will scream and 1 mac person will yell but the fact still remains that rest of the thousands amongts us are posting from windows enviroment.
And what a choice we have.. A Operating system or a new and improved operating sytem from same vendor at almost same price.Geeeeeek where is the choice....
See at the end of the day Vista will take off. Microsoft will see to it that it does by :-
1) Giving more system updates to Vista ...
2) Making Vista more secure .
3) Initially pricing Vista at the same Cost of Xp hence diverting any new buyers from xp.
4) Having Exclusive Vista softwares and support like Direct x 10. Poor gaming freaks who love graphics will have no option but to move to Vista gradually.
See in a monopoly there really is no Choice...Vista will eventually fly..the thing is how long can we avoid it.

Many people have P3? Dude, have u been seeing goverment offices of India only? The majority of home users have P4\Athlon64 here. Vista will run fine here in India, just let it crack by this years end

My sympathy is with you as you cannot use Vista on your "Computer"

Bulls*** aleart. macboys devitating the thread again. stop feeding the trolls

i have p3. my frnd has p2, celeron, etc. OSS is really coming up buddy

Well, good for you. I don't think you do much with your computer anyway. Let me guess, you must be a student of Engg. (CS or IT stream) right?

If it not the requirment, like I said stick to what you have. Windows XP SP2 runs fine on that P3 of yours for sure. OSS is catching up not coming up

 

[kirangp]

wow so much has happened here without me coming...and looks settled also

 

[gxsaurav]

Thats cos We PC users (Windows & Linux) act mature.

 

[aryayush]

You actually believe that, don't you? ROFLMFAO!!!

Bulls*** alert. Thread deviated cos macboys have nothing proper to say.

i think comparing OSS, MAC , Windows is totally waste , coz they all have there own positives and negatives,

About Windows Vista : who says anyone to buy it, not M$ said you people who say vista has ten versions, i think the versions specified are all same, the offcial releases are only, Starter, home basic, home premium,business & ultimate, rest upgrades are given just to save your money, i completely agree to what gx_saurav said that why only to buy ultimate edition, not all need aero, flip3d, or Media centre,

I said before also that critisizing is not a solution, i disagree to aryayush for a point, in which he said that MAC is surely better than VISTA, i dont think so,

Tell me one thing : can a noob means a guy who just bouhgt a system and first times start using it , can he /she use LINUX(oss), MAC i dont think so, but he can use windows coz it very simple to use, so we should think from the bottom line, not all computer users are PRO we should not forget that Windows is used by over 80% computers in the world

no personal comments to anyone, but TOPIC IS being changed to that thats is OSS or MAC or windows which is better

What Linux users could have done was to give reason, why Vista will fall...not to give why Linux is superior.

Macboys, well...don't wanna talk about it. Just saw how mature arya acts^^^^

 

[aryayush]

Just because you keep chanting that you are mature does not mean that you actually are!

People often advise me not to comment against these posts, but it is posts like yours that I just cannot resist answering.
Have you ever used a Mac? No, I know you haven't.
So how can you say that Macs are not easier to use? Windows is easy to use and even Linux is just as easy nowadays. But Macs are easier than both of them. I mean, for a literate person who knows how to use computers, using any of the three operating systems is child's play (though Linux can be daunting sometimes). But, in general, Macintosh is definitely the one with the easiest and most intuitive user interface. I am a fan of the platform just because of the operating system, i.e. the user interface. It is the crown jewel of Apple computers, which is why they refuse to sell it separately.
You are the first person, even on this forum, who has said that Macs are not easy to use, or that Windows is comparatively easier. That is a misconception, mate. Try to look around and learn things from yourself, do not get influenced by opinionated posts of people like me or gx_saurav.

Macs did not get mass market acceptance because:
a) You have to buy a whole new machine when you switch to a Mac; and
b) People have this misconception that Macs are expensive because they used to be in the past.

 

[kirangp]

aryayush...u cant upgrade or add anything to the MAC...it is just use & throw...That is also one problem for Macs not doing well

 

[Aberforth]

b) People have this misconception that Macs are expensive because they used to be in the past.

Hate to be the party pooper but could you please back this up? I personally believe they are still our of the reach of a majority of computer users. Mac Mac mini at Rs. 30000/- is still not complete. It is basically just the CPU part, it still needs the monitor, keyboard etc. Moreover there isn't much scope of upgrading a Mac Mini. Macbooks, if they are compared with the price of a PC laptop, you get better in PC laptops from hardware point of view. Macbook pros are still in the luxury products segment in laptops, in line with Sony Vaio, Fujitsu Lifebook and Dell Precision. Point me if I am wrong.

Yeah i am a student but not of Engg./IT I am in 9th STD! But i use the net for many hours say atleast 5-6 hrs a day. I have U/L DSL from reliance 150kbps Rs.750/mth

Hmm....good that u told me u r in class 9th, won't expect maturity from u now, u still need time to grow up. Good that u r learning linux from such age, will help you in becoming linux master by the time u complete 12

But 5-6 hrs, boy U need to play football or cricket more often. Follow the IIT mumbai net ban

 

[amitava82]

Looks like someone on this forum got a job to segregate who is mature n who is not. and i must remind that when u measure knowledge, age is not the factor that decide one's maturity.

also someone should accept the fact that MAC is a platform of luxury. why would i waste my hard earned Rs. 65000/- for a macbook when i get the same config for Rs.40000/- or less? Every single person with a little business sense knows that its the price you pay for the brand name, i.e., you are westing Rs. 25000/- for brand name. isn't it luxury? If apple sells their products at reasonable price like other IBM PCs definetly i'll buy one MacBook. Till then I'll stick to my Compaq with Ubuntu.

Dude, i live in an construction area where i have no frnds. So i have frnds @ thinkdigit. Also there's one more @ thinkdigit who is in 9th STD. Its Siddharth Maheshwari.
