GL... Oddly enough, Vista runs better on my Mac than it does on my machine at work. Now I just have to figure out how to get back into OS X

hmmm, a x1900 gives you the highest possible score?
i thought this score was supposed to scale for the future when better stuff comes out, ie. it wouldn't be possible to get a max score right now
and yes i know it's all marketing shit

I heard the exact same thing about XP back when it was released.
And look what OS everyone is using now.

loved XP since the beginning \o/ it was a giant leap over 98.
Vista looks and feels like a "lets get into the cool OS trend" whim

seriously...vista is like a minor upgrade that slows everything down about 20%...
