It took me years to get my mother to stop using Microsoft Bob. I finally got her using Windows 98 when she upgraded her old 486 to a Pentium. Unfortunately, she drank the Kool-Aide and is now using a Mac. EDIT: I have not used an Apple computer since the Apple II days and do not know my way around OSX like I do Linux and Windows. My frustration lies in not that she is using a Mac, but whenever she needs tech support, she calls me instead of using her Applecare warranty.

Nothing wrong with a Mac! I feel they are the "in between" PCs, good for a streamlined use, and good for developers. Very expensive and little RAM though, unless you upgrade (except new Macs, cannot upgrade RAM).
I enjoyed using Microsoft Frontpage during their early years as it allowed nice web designers to easily build a website. It also included advanced tools for the professional designer as well. I think one of the biggest technology flops (in gaming especially) was the Sega Dreamcast.

SrA Edward Vong You can upgrade the RAM in the new Macs. It is just a PITA and it will void any warranty you have. Something that takes me 5 minutes on my PC, took almost 90 minutes in an iMac.

The creation of Vista strengthened the Win XP cult. But I still say they should consider Linux Zorin or Linux Mint. :)
Excluding E.T., I've never heard of the others.

I never had any problems with Vista. I mean, I upgraded it as soon as XP came out, but I never had any problems. But, I have always built my own computers with top of the line (at the time) components, so hardware power has never been an issue for me.
