ok imav, i kno you may not like it but here's the answer..... i had to reinstall vista on my sis' lappy.... ok don't say i'm lying.. but its true! applying an update thru windows update crashed windows! i restored from the image 2 dayz ago. now the update center shows only the knowledge base article number. nobody checks what the update is for and now i'm unable to trace what caused the crash. MS should include a brief info on what the update is.
how many times did i reinstall vista on my lappy? 0, its not been long since i started using it. how many times did i reinstall xp pro? many times coz as time passes by and u try out new software, it becomes bloated. out of these many times, twice due to customising it, once wid vista transf. pack and once due to flyakite os and once coz a codec pack caused it to crash! now don't say i dunno how to use/install software in windows. i've been using windows since ver.3.0 and i know the internals well.
how many times did i install ubuntu 7.04? 0! everyone here in this forum knows that i've ****** ubuntu to the core customising it!
believe me, the *nix core systems are more tolerant when u play wid protected files (again, getting hold of protected files is not easy).
even tho today's macs are nothing but PCs, complaining that osx crashes on PCs is plain stupidity! it was never meant to be run on that. who knows mebbe apple deliberately programmed it once a while if installed on PCs. thats the only way to keep PC users away from macos. but then apple aint to be blamed for that. its their product!

dude tinker with mac a little and it will break down ... whether u use mac hardware or a normal pc .... well im sorry ur sister's hard luck ... my dad's 3-4 yr old compaq is still running on the company loaded xp so no complaints .... the similarity between that laptop and most macs out there .... just used simply for chores and nothing more ...

that won't be arya. that'd be me! i do mean that. when a person sets out wid a mindset to crash any os by all means jus to show to the world then it crashes!!! the os is jus co-operating wid that guy! and again, if my sis hadn't updated it'd haf probably not crashed! if i hadn't installed the codec pack or uninstalled VTP or flyakite osx then my xp wudn't haf crashed. use it the way its come from factory and it works like a charm! mac os was never meant to be tweaked or customised and nobody is saying that u can tinker wid os x and still it won't break. it was meant to be used the way it is shipped! i can say the same wid windows, but the tinkering tolerance is comparitively greater than mac.iMav said:
seriously folks, get a life! there's more to mac vs. windows in this world!
i know i'm going off-topic. so won't post anything more on this in future.

last offtopic post, reply to gx.
exactly! thats what i'm saying. i don't wanna follow a link to read pages about the KB. nobody does! what i meant was when u click on the update, brief info of the update should be shown in the same window. if u've used ubuntu u'll know what i'm talking about.gx_saurav said:Right click on the update -> More Details, then click on the link given

Geez.. so many posts with offtopic discussion...
Lets get to the track again...shall we?
iTunes for me.. (Even though I am a windows fanboy..)
It download podcasts for me...(MuggleCast and LeakyMug Cast...)
For that only reason I love iTunes.
Otherwise WMP is cool for movies and music listening.

Oh yeah, I'd totally forgotten the podcasts, free music and TV shows. iTunes is the best.
(Although the movie library needs a complete overhaul. It manages them as if they were music, with tags such as artist, album, etc. In Front Row, videos even show up in the Music section (though this is, of course, Mac specific). It even stores them in a 'Movies' folder under 'Music'. LOL!
