Actually I've always wondered whether the Windows kernel is Unix based, like Mac is.

They have to all be somewhat similar or based on the same kernel because all the OS's ( linux, MAC and Windows) all use the same hardware

Yeah, looks like MS was very quick to clamp down on Lindows. It's named Linspire now as far as I can make out.

It was interesting to look at the history of AD's. Funny thing is, I might be the only one who likes Vista. I am running 64 bit with quadcore and 8gig. It runs bulletproof. I was suspicious of the Apple ad where they made note of improvement over previous versions of Windows. I never remember seeing any ads like like from MS over the years. I am glad this vid pointed that out.

It is sad I'm just now getting to watch this.
I say it is all in preference and of course what you can afford.
I have both PC and Macs. They both have there places in life.

Top of the thread updated with a personal punt for Apple by Bill Gates. These two have a wonderfully enduring friendship and respect for each other, despite the differences they've had over the years.
