The Mojave Experiment

The fact remains though, that's a bad and biased way of 'proving' Vista is good and doesn't have certain issues.

Are you saying all experiments done in an enclosed envioment are invalid ?

I suppose you'll discard any findings by the LHC just because its in a very controlled enviroment ?

That would be a viable point to bring up. They tested the speed of light during different phases of the moon, at different distances from the equator, in different directions, at different temperatures, at different places, etc. just to get rid of all independent variables.

Not only did they not push the OS to it's limits during the experiment, but the people they tested are the type who check their email, send an e-card, and print a few documents a day. For systems administrators and powerusers, Vista can be a real hassle.

No, he isn't. You're manipulating his statement to suit your argument. The situations are not similar at all, and when you post another reply saying they are, I'm still going to tell you they aren't. There, now I don't have to bother responding to your next post.

My thing is maximizing my performance: I want the OS to blend into the background and keep as much of my computing horsepower for the applications *I* want to run - not for some stupid transparency-laden theme or other flashy gadgets I don't need.

This is the reason I like what Apple did with OS 10.5: it is actually faster than 10.4 and uses less resources, yet still looks every bit as pretty (if not more so) than Vista. Hmmm.

(Obviously you can disable some of these things to get better performance in all of these OSes, but I think this is just a good rule to go by)

But if you must have Windows (like for gaming): I run TinyXP on my Mac in another partition for gaming and keep Leopard for everything else

Or you could use linux.
