Windows won't work? Time for a Mac
Talkback Don't write an article saying Windows is unstable because you can't be bothered to do 1 & 2. If winlogin is in your process list, then you probably have a virus (W32.Randex.E, a variant of Blaster: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc...

Windows won't work? Time for a Mac
Talkback I have bene running XP on this laptop now for nearly a year without a single crash. Winlogin is indicative of a virus ? Linux is a pain in the arse to install - speaking from experience. I have seen OS 9 and early crashing up to 5 or 6 times a day.

Windows won't work? Time for a Mac

Windows won't work? Time for a Mac

RE: How to Buy Windows 7 on a Discounted Price
Blog Comment I am a big Mac fan too but I have to say that MS had finally taken what people said and wanted to happen with their OS and delivered the product. Win7 to me is a HUGE improvement on Vista, which I never touched after 3 weeks using it.

Windows, Linux And Mac As A Tether
Talkback If the competition is racing away towards the cloud then it may be well to have computers lying around with the "old" style client applications running on them. It would be wise to have some powerful and heavy feet planted firmly on the ground!

Windows won't work? Time for a Mac
Talkback how can you compare a virgin mac with a PC that's been completely shafted by third party utils / programs / extensions. Whilst I'm no MS fan, it's hardly fair to equate a badly configured / crippled install of windows with poor operating system...

RE: Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
