I’ve never been a huge Mac fan. Not because I think it’s a bad platform, but just because Windows has never seriously disappointed me. That being said, this is probably the most accurate Mac vs. PC commercial that I have come across.

Just as a warning to anyone thinking of “upgrading” to Vista. Don’t do it. While there is something to be said about Office Vista, many of you will find Microsoft’s newest OS to be almost completely unusable. Especially if you have less than 1GB of RAM. If you think that upgrading to SP1 will fix things, unfortunately, it does little to solve the serious performance issues.

Interestingly enough, if you’re looking to give your computer a kick start you would be better off installing Service Pack 3 for XP. According to an independent study, this service pack that was mostly just an amalgam of bug fixes gives XP up to a 10% performance boost.
