OMFG Leopard installed

I stuck in the Leopard disk this afternoon and set it to install itself. When I came back a few hours later, my desktop was ready and waiting for me. It was a completely unattended installation. Now that it’s on my machine, I’ll be putting it through its various paces but let me assure you — even you doubters out there — OS X is getting better with every iteration and there is absolutely no reason not to switch from Vista. [fanboy]As good as Vista is, OS X is better[/fanboy].

lol, love the [fanboy] tags.
Apple site still says 5 hours to go before release. Nice work on getting it early.

“there is absolutely no reason not to switch from Vista.”
You mean it’ll run on my Toshiba Portege? Because, y’know, I can think of one major reason not to switch from Vista.
Because I don’t actually own hardware that will run it.

John@hp: Have you ever used OS X ? Vista cannot be cloned because it is not worth doing so. Go back to Tiger and you will see how MS literally copied some of its features in Vista….
Picture looks neat. I am buying my copy tomorrow at 6 in Dallas :)

To use the time machine, do you have to have a brand new USB drive? or an existing Mac formated (with data on it) drive will be enough?

@John Eddy - I kinda meant buy a mac, but I think your head would explode if you moved from windows to os x so youd best stay put.

@John Biggs - sure, but what you said was “there is absolutely no reason not to switch from Vista.” Not having an extra $2000 burning a hole in my pocket seems like a pretty good reason.

@ Fred: You can get Macs fairly cheaply now. Using jokes from 1998 doesn’t work anymore, sadly.
