That's what I found out. Is Microsoft good for ANYTHING anymore?

Hey,

I gave up with Norton (and PC's) in November last year. I'd already had viruses and spyware get through both Norton and Spybot, and I was fed up with having to delete loads of crap from my computer, and reinstall programs after spyware had messed up my registry. Yuck!

However, I was raised on PC's (I still remember the old MS DOS commands) so I wasn't going to just throw all that away and invest a lot of dosh in a new untested computer and operating system.

Until, that is,the new intel based Macs came out.. Which allow you to install Windows on a partition and run the Mac as a high spec PC by selecting which operating system you want to access on system start up. What's even better, is from the Mac side (OS X) you can read files on the PC partition.

So I figured, well if I hate this new Mac OS X thing I can stick to the Windows. Well you can guess the rest... I had Windows on my Mac for about 2 weeks, realised I'd not gone back to it once, and deleted the partition.

Seriously - if you have programs that run only on Windows or loads of old software, get a new intel Mac - you can still run them on the Windows partition. 2 in 1 for the price of a single computer - doesn't get much better than that
