Buena vista, baby

The article about the Microsoft Vista program read a little better than the other articles covering MAC OS X and Linux.  I am still a little bit fuzzy about the interactions between the OS and hard ware or do these systems only interact with the soft ware that runs on them/by them.  I will expand on it in my muddiest point piece because I need clarification.  

I guess many people were unhappy with the performance of Vista.  It seems to me, as a MAC person, that Microsoft just wanted to recreate the features that place MAC ahead of PCs, like security and better graphic/design capabilities...this last sentence will no doubt open a kettle of worms?!

Hi Robyn. I have always been curious about Macs but have never operated one. You say that they have enhanced security and excellent graphics, but I have heard a lot about how they are incompatible with other systems. Do you think this incompatibility limits the Mac, or do you think it is fine just the way it is?

I think that the claims of incompatibility were fears that, if ever true, are ancient history. There is no problem with interaction between Macs and other platforms.

Just ran across this blog, saw the comment, so I threw in my 2 cents. Hope that's okay.
