Hi,

I'm running my Windows XP since several years and I've never reformatted it (something I did few times with the old Win98). The major problems are with internet but with an antivirus and a spyware I'm reliably working all the day with my pc. I've seen instead a lot of Mac users loose a lot of time while fighting with the 200 versions of OsX available with compatibility problems, plug in validations and the like. Since 2002 I'm with the service pack 1 load and it's still running. Nobody I've heard considering this: how many time Mac user have lost passing from Os9 to OsX ? How many of the beautiful graphical skill are really useful ? How many time will they spend with the migration to Intel platform ?

I've nothing against Mac, but I've never found a person able to demostrate me the superiority of this system all considered: costs, reliability, servicing, spare parts, software available.
Everything must be weighted in the right way.

Cheers.
