Windows Vista
WOW, wow wooooow! Am loving it yall. Windows just got more attractive. Am running Windows Vista on one of my PC now, and I gotta tell yall, it’s the best OS, ever! Attractive, fast, easier to use, and makes you fill like a million buck. Maybe the last part is an exaggeration. But believe me when I say this, Windows is about to blow up again, come January 2007 Windows Vista will be made available to the public. Come January, many people will be spending hours on the computer just admiring and getting jiggy with Windows Vista. Any of you guys running VISTA too?

Anyone one can be a Beta tester, you just have to be aware that the OS won't be compatible with many programs. You use/test at your own risk. I personally think there's a lot of Mac immitation going on, from the interface to the names, icons to transparency. But then Windows have always had that flashy follow follow mentality.

You just don't like Microsoft do you? More than 78% of my programs are working fine with Vista (although their earlier warning that they might not work). Am not a Mac fan just as much as you're not a Microsoft's.

You can click here, you'll have two options. You can either download the software and then burn it to a DVD or order it for $6.00.

I use both systems. I started with Windows, still bumping into it everywhere... but I prefer Mac 'cuz they give you your money's worth.

I already told you I use both of them, I know what I get with the same amount. Microsoft is known because of the "excellent marketing strategy" they use, they basically market softwares. You pay almost the same amount with both systems and get more package with Mac.
