# I think honestly
ANd I am saying this as a Mac user;

That ANY new OS release is not something anyone should just jump onto immediately. I know alot of us here use the Adobe suite and other layout programs and NOTHING gets my chuff more than shelling out FUCK ALL for cash on programs needed for work only to have them immediately be obsolete once you get the "Latest" OS.

I've LITERALLY had that happen to me. One day they all worked and the next (after upgrade).. "Oh.. sorry, you're fucked.

# Same here!
OS 10.5.8 totally screwed Illustrator and Photoshop CS so I had to upgrade (I tried going backwards to 10.5.7 and managed to disappear half of my e-mail and iTunes - still recovering from that!)

# Agreed!
Alls I was saying is... it's 6 or 1/2 dozen of the other. They EACH blow when they upgrade, for one reason or another.

# i just upgraded to the x64 version of windows 7
And so far i must confess that i am fairly impressed. Feels light and streamlined and functions very well.

# Just upgraded to Win7 on this laptop
you don't get Outlook Express any longer so I'm running Mozzilla Thunderbird instead and it doesn't like some anti-virus programs.

Other than that it's pretty nice - but I can't help thinking it's a rip from Mac's OSX and not as pretty.

# Huh...
How is it a rip? The two have always had similarities...

It REALLY remains to be seen in the coming months, I suppose.

# Well as far as designwise the OSX is far nicer looking
this is probably the best Windows so far without doubt but it still lacks umph! - I can't be more technical that now :D

# Yeah, it is actually
it's nice and smooth and runs quite well and means you can have 45binary-shit-tons of RAM and actually use all of it.

Though I've just bought a mac, so fuck windows :D
