In my experience with computers, you could have 2 computers w/exactly same hardware & software; one has problems, one doesn't. I know this isn't technical, but sometimes you're lucky... and sometimes you're not!!

The day before yesterday I had to format my dad's Mac PowerBook G4 because he installed Leopard when it first came out, and after that the computer sucked so badly he might as well have been running Vista. I've never had to do so many "force quits" on a Mac in my entire use of OS X.

I formatted it and installed Tiger again.

Leopard is a joke. My friend is under the impression that leopard simply "isn't meant for single core processors" - which would be great, if there wasn't a shitload of MBP users experiencing problems with Leopard, too.

Well, leopard sucks imo. It has annoying "cancel or allow" prompst for things like adding an RSS feed from what I've heard, and has more security problems.

They also stole ideas from Vista, like Time Machine. And, Leopard is slower than Tiger. I tried to install Leopard on my PC, and right after the boot screen, it rebooted my PC. I then installed tiger, and it's working fine, except that my PC can't go to sleep.

So, Vista is my choice for OS. It's stable, has few issues with security, and doesn't ask you to "cancel or allow" for an RSS feed.

No, but Vista will ask you to confirm your identity [and take a while to grey the screen] whenever you want to change a setting or run a program.

Actually, in Vista RTM, it's only if you want to run a program as admin, or if you want to change some settings (like changing the network that you are connected to home or private, rather than public).
