Horrendously slow compared to my windows 7 notebook. You should stick with OSX on that thing.

Windows 7 seems to be sluggish on your Macbook compared to my Windows 7 pc.

You can’t keep the beta forever. It expires sometime around August.

shagythommy February 18, 2009 at 11:57 am

i find myself switching the taskbar to the old option (where each windows has its own tab) its just faster that way (if find)

You’re right. MS doesn’t have the obligation..they choose to allow this. Why? Because when u use MS Windows (dell, hp, or mac), MS gets 100% profit as well. By making their own hardware, Apple ensures their OS will work on the mac they sell. Again, u cant compare MS to Apple since they don’t build computers. Their business comes from software..they need it to work on any computer out there. Apple’s business comes from hardware/software. Apple sells 1 product. U choose to buy it or not.

Microsoft doesn’t have the obligation to allow mac users to run windows neither, they can block mac computers from using windows whenever they want, a few changes on the code and boom no win on mac’s. You see the monopolic thing again?, Apple doesn’t even let other companies build their hardware, just them, so they get the 100% profit. U r right about the vista logo, that was a big fault from microsoft, but those are normal company errors, apple has been doing this for years!!

marquez2008 February 26, 2009 at 1:44 pm

… When u buy a pc you get two products (MS Windows and Dell laptop for example) Not so with a Mac. (Mac OS + a Mac computer = 1 singular product known as the macintosh) Microsoft is not a hardware company. Remember all the mad Vista users who had a “Vista logo” on their machine but couldn’t run it? Windows has to run on EVERYTHING because MS doesn’t make computers so it relies on other companies to make them. Apple has no obligation to separate the OS from the machine as it is one product.

gilitos92 March 1, 2009 at 5:45 pm

That’s precisely the monopolic thing, look it this way, Pc’s can’t run everything because apple doesn’t let them to, excuse me sr, but that is monopolic, in the other hand, mac’s can run everything because microsoft isn’t monopolic (right now, not talking about its past) and they let mac install windows, actually mac made boot camp so they didn’t looked monopolic, and of course, taking advantage of the free use of microsoft, so that u mac users could say mac’s can run everything. Marketing!!

marquez2008 March 3, 2009 at 2:18 pm

… Or you could look at it as OS X has a feature called Boot Camp that ALLOWS you to run any other OS (not just Windows) You could also say a mac is so good it can run any program out there while a pc can run everything EXCEPT Mac apps. (of course not counting virtual machines) And yes u are correct, installing os x on a pc goes against Apple’s terms but it is in no way “monopolic”… A monopoly over what??? Mac OS X has a monopoly in the Macintosh computers. That makes sense!
