Apple is much better about that stuff - it feels much more like them taking care of their users than trying to keep them at bay. I just wanted to point out that it happens on both sides of the fence - some just handle it better... I hear ya LordMike.

I just wanted to point out that it happens on both sides of the fence - some just handle it better…

But since I started getting the first update in Mac os x, it hasn't "felt" like a major upgrade like with service packs for windows. Probably because MS added an improved firewall etc etc in just a service pack which was suppose to be for bugs. Before I thread into way to deep water here, I will agree that Apple probably does the same. Just not as much. I switched for a good reason and have never been more happy. So I guess I'm a bit biased towards MS atm. :) Nick - I’m new to the Mac world, so that was actually news to me.

But In keeping things fair, Apple is known for releasing a .1 update to OS X usually within a handful of months following the latest OS release. Granted, their issues aren't usually as large as those found on past Windows systems, but it still happens. LordMike - I agree with you for the most part.

That's like saying "Our product isn't finished for shipping, but computer manufacturers and marketing people wanted it now full with bugs". Vista is worth trying out if you still use Windows, but the only reason to why you should switch from Windows XP is the higher level of security. Games run slower in the few tests that I have seen, when compared to Windows XP. But the again, I wonder how fast World of Warcraft will run on Mac OS X 10.5 compared to 10.4... :) I think it’s sad that Microsoft will release SP1 in june/july this year.

In the Windows world, only a few testers, consultants and have-to-have-the-latest buy the upgraded OS, unlike with OSx. Microsoft will make it's money the only way it has set it up in its market: when computer die, people buy new ones with the new operating system. You can't compare a robust sports car like OSx to a bloated SUV like Windows. It's two different worlds with two different philosophies. As usual, people will wait until the first service oacks. Unfortunately, Microsoft has caught on and will release one quickly to "show" it is being patched. Serious buyers will wait for SP2. Can't wait for real innovations like Leopard...
