My last Windows machine finally refused to log onto the network at all

in the tooth and slow anyway, compared to the newer Macs.

So yesterday I installed Vista Business on the Mac, using Parallels. It
seems to work fine, except there is no Vista driver for my QMS
Magicolor 3100 laser printer and something seems to have convinced the
Epson driver that the photo printer is out of ink. It will print over
the network, though, to the HP 7100 series all-in-one, although it does
not understand the scanner or the fax. OS X has none of these problems.

It would be nice to have an XPS file reader in OS X, then I wouldn't
have to worry about Windows' constant problems with conflicting device
drivers. I could just print everything in Vista to XPS and then if I
needed a hard copy I could print it in OS X.

The nice thing about Parallels is that you can run Vista in Console
mode. Vista almost completely disappears. Every Vista window becomes an
OS X window. You can drag stuff from a Vista window to an OS X window
and back. And yet Vista is compartmentalized, so you don't have to
worry about any of its viruses getting into the OS X system. Vista
doesn't have to have access to the Internet at all except for its own
updates. You lose Aero, of course (otherwise it wouldn't look like OS
X) but it is very slick.

The interesting thing is that Parallels manages to get Vista to run in
only 528 megabytes of RAM. Every application in Vista seems to run just
fine without disk swapping. I have not noticed any speed penalty in
either OS X or Vista.

Why do I hate google? Hate is a strong word, I don't hate google, I
had many trys at trying to make google profitable and I failed every
attempt. Lack of real advertisers, honest people working for them and
a honest click calculating system.

Finally the truth is out there........

baby, comcast did it, you can too.
As for the keyboard and mouse, so far Vista has managed to put up with
the MacBook Pro's keyboard and the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. It is a
little insensitive on the right click, but I think that is a problem
with the Mighty Mouse anyway.

I have no intention of using any of Vista's media accessories, so I
have no idea how they work. I also do not have any 3D games for Vista,
but Parallels says they will not work. So much for MS Flight Simulator
X (but then, who needs a simulator when you fly real airplanes whenever
you want). :-)
