How I Came to Get a PC and Not a Mac

Iria · Apr 6, 2009, 04:38 PM

I don't buy new computers very often, and for a long time I slightly favored Macs over Windows PCs. So no one perhaps is more surprised than me that my now four-month old laptop is a Sony and not an Apple. I found my decision process to be similar to Lauren and Giampaolo, the protagonists of the first two Microsoft "Laptop Hunters" commercials. Microsoft got something right about the buying process, something many people on the Mac side of the debate are overlooking.

So it looks like in the end he bought the Sony because of Windows 7! That is sweet!

I can easily say so far it is the best OS from Microsoft yet! Everything I have wanted to run on 7 even on the 7000 build I have had almost no issues and the few I did were very minor.

It even found drivers for my wireless card, webcam, and everything but my trackpad. The trackpad still worked, but the scrolling did not. That was easy enough to install however.

After 7 is released everyone should switch from crappy XP.
