Quite pleased with the Mac so far. It’s just an overall better experience than Windows – even the learning phase is fun.
Just installed Windows 7 with VMware Fusion. Having run Windows 7 now for the last 30 minutes, I’m reminded immediately of all the things I disliked about Windows!
The main thing is that it’s slow! OK, I might be running it virtually but still it has more resources assigned to it than my old laptop ever had yet it still seems to want to chug away with zillions of hard drive read/writes even though I haven’t told it to do anything! When running the OS X alone everything just seems to work; loading at a touch of a button and doesn’t freeze everything you’re doing and the hard drive doesn’t seem so stressed.
I’ve only installed Windows so I can do Windows things without having to wait 5 minutes for my laptop to start up and another 5 minutes for the web browser to open.
