nope I used OSX, I was not impressed. It felt like a guilded cage, ok as long as you want to do things the “Apple” way. Tried Linux and it was ok, though it does not run most of the applications I use. It was just a pain when I needed to install anything.

Funny enough Windows provides me with the open platform that works for me. I can run what I want and from whoever I want without restrictions. I just don’t feel restricted.

Apple is just a company I find so difficult to respect and I think it is the closed nature of what they do in terms of software and hardware.

My old HP TC4400 is about ready to fall apart. My question is, does this device use a computer OS (either Windows 7 or OS X)? Either one will do, so no need to specify. Thanks!!

My TX2000 laptop is in for it’s 4th warranty repair at bestbuy and they are giving me a $1,050 gift card back, or a smaller gift card and the $850 new touchsmart laptop….should I take the $1,050 and wait and see what HP comes out with next?
