Exactly what I'm planning on. I'm sure Apple's OS isn't perfect either, but I'm not at all impressed with Vista from my brief experiences with it so far. My next computer is going to be a Mac laptop. I'll keep my XP desktop until it isn't feasible anymore, and what I do then depends on whether or not Micro$oft gets their act straight.... either try another MS OS, or switch over to Mac all the way.
Micro$oft's OS' are becoming increasingly intrusive, mostly due to their efforts to fight piracy, and they also continue to "dumb down"/automate the OS to make things easier for people who don't know anything about computers. I don't like my software doing things I don't tell it to do, or trying to anticipate what I'm going to do next, causing me to push a bunch of "no" buttons to stop it. I don't like cars that do it either.....the first thing I do when I buy a new car is disable the automatic door locks and all that garbage. If I want my doors locked, I'll lock them....if I want the
radio turned up or down, I'll turn it up or down. I don't want machines making my decisions for me.
