Fridays with Chris - TGIF

Mac / PC News:
So Microsoft released Windows 7 in October... It's faster, more stable and MS rewrote all the stuff people were hating in Vista. I have one PC and one Mac at home. Of course I upgraded my PC ASAP, to be rid of Vista forever! This is MS's best modern operating system to date for sure. But Microsoft still has a lot of room for improvement in ease of use & just overall understanding of the end user. And I really don't like paying MS $100+ for a OS release that just fixes everyone's complaints with with the last version. (Eric would like me to remind everyone that Snow Leopard is $29!) Everyone seems to have their own take on Mac vs. PC. Use whatever OS you like, but for me OS X is still the best choice for everything but computer games. Hopefully more and more casual computer users will continue to migrate to Macs, and those users will be happy they switched! Snow Leopard keeps adding to the speed and refinement of OS X, keeping the Mac one step ahead of Microsoft and their Windows 7 release (Vista Service Pack 1).


Checkout the new iMacs! These new models, announced in October, are Apple's best value if you need a Mac with a lot of CPU power. I'm not a huge fan of the new keyboard (no number pad!? what were you thinking Apple?) or the new magic mouse. But those can be replaced for cheap. :)

Favorite Utah Celeb:
BookMan would like to give props to their favorite local celebrity, Gary Coleman! Keep on, keepin' on Gary....
