Mac vs Vista 32/64-bit

Just installed SP1 for Vista and got my 4GB of RAM. Seems like they fixed the bug.

When BeOS 5 came out I told everyone who would listen we'd all be using it in five years....and I was serious. That was a great OS but the implementation was doomed from the start.

The best thing about OSX is that there's a full Unix underneath, so you can run Mac apps AND X11 apps.

Wonder if they'll have that fix for XP SP3?

Vista sucks, you can barely run it on less then 2gb of memory and it's annoying as hell to be asked "are you sure you really want to do that", "allow" anytme you want to do something. I can't stand Vista, it's like they dumbed down XP and make every action take twice and many clicks to get where you want to go and even after upgrading memory on my laptop you can't do multiple applications without freezing, it takes 6/7 minutes to reboot and crashed multiple times daily.

I have a 3 year old XP desktop with the similar specs, it's fast as hell and hasn't crashed once.

what exactly is 'the bug'.

yeah i'm still using xp for my daily breadwinner machine. vista runs on my laptop. faster processor, more mem. slower. go figure huh.

but what's in the sp1? all i read so far on the web is how to install it? nothing about details on what it fixes. Clearly it doesn't address 4gb memory issues.
