Amazing who you meet on these forums....

I never said I know more than the industry, but I know more than 99% of the people working at Cisco.

Macs are better. One reason, they make both the software and hardware. Wow, what a concept! It would be like buying a Porsche body and taking it somewhere else to get an engine. It might work faster, but how reliable would it be.

What a lame illogical analogy.
You make it seem like you actually believe the validity of this disparate comparison.
I thought you were a lot smarter than that. ... Wow, guess I was wrong.

I upgrades windows Vista 32 bit. It's useless!!! My cd and dvdrw combo drives do not work at all .(pc doesn't recognize them) I had to upgrade the video card. The only good feature that works is the media center extends to xbox360. I can download movies on my pc and watch them on my hometheater with xbox 360. ( tryin to think of a good reaon to buy a new pc with Windows 64 bit) If anyone has Home Premium Vista 64 bit let me know how you like it.

although as ben points out it not a very good analogy and also what caused apples troubles for years.
ms would let any computer mfg. buy their OS and apple wouldnt license their OS to anyone.
and also wouldnt build hardware to run the ms OS until now.
ms blossomed while the apple rotted!

What a terrible analogy, because you don't agree with it? Oh yea, that's smarter than me.
To me, its like performance cars, some people like raw performance statistics. Others like the more sublime charactaristics of a performance car. Like you can't convince a Corvette owner why we like the 911 better, even though the Corvette is faster.

So how long did it take you to meet the 38,000 Cisco employees? If you met 20 a day, 7 days a week, it would take you more than 5 years to meet that many people. Not to mention the thousands of people that come and go each year. You would not be exaggerating a bit, would you?

I can see the city being disappointed with that, and the growth of the market value to $72 Billion.
Do you really think you can just chuck those idiotic comments out there and expect to get away with it?
I guess you did - speaks volumes.

I dont know jack squat about PCs, that is why I own a Mac. USER-FRIENDLINESS! I dont have to know how every aspect of the computer works. I have Microsoft Office on my Mac and I can do anything anyone else does on a PC. How can anyone sit there and defend PCs when they give everyone in the world frustration? I dont get it, Oh yeah, yes I do, it is like the battered woman syndrome, you just keep coming back. At work, PCs driving me to
