Best thing about the mac

It is not the OS, really. It is the hardware.
I installed Vista via bootcamp.
Works like a charm.
Basically, keep a small partition for iTunes & iPhoto, do everything else on Vista.
I will also install Ubuntu on the second laptop.

One home, 2 laptops, 3 OS, modern world?

Apple Time Machine

does not work. I had to re-install my Mac OS X 10.5 because the computer kept rebooting all the time on start-up.
I have tried repairing the disk, permissions, and the what-have-you-s I have found on the web... nothing.
So, knowing that I had a back-up, via Time Machine, I simply re-installed the OS... did a software upgrade.. then comes the Migration Utility Assistant..

I used the MUA (Utilities) and plugged my external hard-drive (Time Machine Backup), and after 1h, the whole computer froze again...it did not work. I re-installed everything again.... let the TM run for 6 hours, nothing...It did not work at all.

Mac products are over-rated. It is fine to add new functionalities to a new OS only if they do work... considering the number of TM issues on the web, Time Machine is not resilient.

I am seriously considering not using the Mac anymore, and simply forget about iTunes.

Et mince!

Mon MacBook Pro ne marche plus et j'ai cassé mon téléphone portable!!

The thing that gets me is that I have tried everything to repair it, reset the ram, repair the disk, permission... nothing. What a pile of c***.
I have to re-install it....this time with Boot Camp.
