I have moved from Imac to Vista and am really delighted with what I have. I did this with a new machine and I saved so much money and I just love Vista - it is great! It did take me a little while to get to know some windows things but I ran xp on my mac as well because of the lack of software for mac. I use Vista at work and home now. I actually had a very serious security problem in my mac and apple were unresponsive. Don't assume that mac is safe! -k > -----Original Message-----> From: gen-comp-tips-bounces@rootsweb.com> [mailto:gen-comp-tips-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mal Parr> Sent: Monday, 10 March 2008 5:47 PM> To: GEN-COMP-TIPS@rootsweb.com> Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] MICROSOFT VERSUS IMAC> > I've been following all the recents posts of XP versus Vista, and am > considering replacing my five-year-old MS system, which is getting very > slow now.> I don't know a lot about computers but have been advised to consider > getting an Imac next time instead.
