Funny that you mentioned the issues with Snow Leopard. A lot of Apple fans that I know act like the new OS is perfect and there are issues with it. But Apple just released a major patch today that fixes a lot of serious issues:

Windows 7 has been relatively trouble free since launch so far.

My wife has a Mac and I have a Del. I have used both OS. Apple mouse wins big but Windows 7 is much easier. I don't want to pay Apple Tax. If Mac OS X is so great then let everyone install it. With so many problems with the Snow Leopard I am surprised why MS just does't make a cheap ad like Apple. Apple too has security issues.

I will give Apple three things: Great design, Mouse Pad, and Battery Life.

I will still stick to Windows!

That's all really wonderful, but try a mac and you'll never look back.

Ya, windows 7 is a huge improvement over windows vista. They bootup time alone is pretty awesome. I love how the OS is ready as soon as the desktop is up.

I just got a Windows 7 PC. I am very pleased with it. I first got vista when it first came out and I was not really impressed with it but with Windows 7, i am loving it. Its better in a lot of ways and probably will give Apple a run for their money.

W7 repesensets a major new developement for MS. But it is clear that MS have taken its ideas from Apple, just like all their previous efforts. Word in the Mac camp is W7 – “7″ because it is 7 years behind OS-X. The “new” start bar is a copy of the Dock in OS-X, like Widgets, Apple introduced over 7 years ago.

So, it will sell by the truck load but not actually do anything genuinly new, such is the level of plagerism.

Good luck to W7, MS know it will do well, so well, they have already anounced W8 !

Once again Microsoft has succeeded in riping off as many hard working companies as they can. Instead of developing their own software and ideas, they put their money into projects like Microsoft Virtual Earth which is a ambiguous rip off of Google Earth and has no different or better features but they are already trying to force users to use it instead of GE by integrating it with IE and W.L.Messenger. Microsoft Silverlight is another annoying example, its as if they have had a boards meeting where they have concluded that Adobe is doing to well with flash and they have to make their own identical version and preinstall it on IE to stop people using Flash. Now they are doing it again to apple with iLife! Its stupid, if they put more money into their own technology they would make much better computers. Windows 2003 was the last good OS they made, then they screwed it up with windows live.

I'm beta testing Win7 and I love it. Don't like Vista too much I don't know why really it's not so bad. Win7 just seems right though, the new quick launch stacking is reason alone to try it.

@Ian Bell
The 3GB memory limit is the most ridiculous in my opinion and it shows how archaic the code really is.

Windows 7 32-bit works fine with 4 gigs of RAM. It sees it fine in my rig.
