• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

If I had a spare system I'de probably check it out. I hear it's much, much better than Vista. I guess Vista will go down in history like WinME.
 
DOWNLOAD SCORE:
Windows Vista/Internet Explorer: -3
Apple OS-X/Safari:1

That was THREE FAILED downloads of the 32 bit version on Vista, and 1 successful download on OS-X

Same internet connection, same wireless router, but my trusty old iMac kicked butt and took names, left the Vista laptop in the dust, not only did it finish the download in 1 try, but it downloaded at 3 times the speed as well.

WELL DONE, APPLE (take a lesson, Microsoft!)
