  My IT specialist friend told me so .

  He added , that is why Window 7 launched , to replace fully the failed Vista project .

  I still prefer XP .

  I reload my OS to XP .

  From Vista , fuck up sia Vista .

  Next Window 7 .

  Bill Gates failed Vista Project , after spending millions on it ?

  Yep. They wanted to do a lot more with Vista, but when they realized that they couldn't meet the schedule, they rushed and delivered it anyway. Turns out to be pretty bad, and Apple took the chance to convert people to their side (it's almost a religion).

  Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be. In fact, if you run "winver" on a Windows 7 machine, you're gonna see that the version number is actually 6.1.

  Yeah, very leceh. I installed Leopard for my friend's Acer notebook. Wireless did not work. Need to install an USB wireless network device.

  This site has very good info on running OS X on PC.

  There's a project to make a kext for Intel wireless cards from the 3945ABG to the 5300AGN. Pity it didn't come sooner, that's the only thing stopping me from getting full OSX compatibility on my Acer >.> 3D, sound, webcam all work. Except for wireless.
