Ummm, newsflash guys: Don't buy the newest Windows OS until it's been out for about year or so, or the first service pack is released. That will be about the time that most hardware will have updated drivers available.

At least that's what a lot of people in the IT / computer science field recommend (I'm a CS major BTW)



" and there are no virus for mac "

Ya don't think so?

You can easily fix both those problems.

Right click the desktop, then left click 'Personalize'. In the upper left corner, left click on 'Change Desktop Icons'. Then just add Recycle Bin and the other desktop icons you want back.

lol @ business programs for a mac

You know why there are no viruses for a mac? Because people who have them aren't worth hacking.

^lol mac are not as user friendly as windows, but they have powerfull computers, yes they are virus for macs and hackers too, but nothing compared to windows, maybe because of the number of user, but you have to be kidding me, macs programs are really good, plus you can ask my brother (graphic desingner "spell check") what kind of computer are use to do 3d animations in companies as pixar, they also do have the fastes computer for home,a 16gb og ram computer. and if all of you that like vista, but hate the errors should check Mac Os X, you might know it as "Windows Vista" but is just beter you know without the errors, and it needs less things to run, but if you dont like apple then just continue buying windows as i did, but yeah my next computer is going to be an apple, i will be loosing in lost of stuff (mostly compability), but now with the intel you can run both, windows or ,ac in the same computer.

"lol @ business programs for a mac"

y do u say that? jus cuz Macs are too expensive for most the ppl on here to use, or b/c of the fact that most on here hav no need for a mac doesn't mean they aint good. Mac would smash most any programs like that that windows has...ex. Animation, Music, Business, Editing...only thing Windows has going for it is the compatibility with pretty much everything. Bottom line, for everyday use it wouldn't be practical to use a Mac for most stuff. But in his case, if he had the choice between a Mac & Windows for business use Mac is the way to go. Plus the new ones are even windows compatible, so they use most programs......

Oh.... you said icons I didn't know you had folders on the desktop. In that case since you probably don't have many pics on your computer yet, you could search through them by clicking on start, then search, then put *.jpeg* (just like that with the "wild card" asterisks), or change the .jpeg part to .gif, .bmp or whatever format your pics were in. If you deleted them to the recycle bin BEFORE you deleted the actual recycle bin, they are gone. I could get you a recovery program if the pics are irreplacable.

to get your icons back on your desktop go to control panel, then to personalization, then to change desktop icons on the left top corner. then check the boxes next to the icons you deleted then hit apply and shizamm. but this only works to the icons that come on the desktop when purchased.

^as easy as any pc,
"if you ask me OSX is nothing special, whats so great about it"
both the vista and the OSX are the same thing, the only diference is that the OSX needs less ram, and less space on your computer, and doesnt have as much bugs as the vista.
and here is something you might have seen already, but is fub to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaIUkwPybtM

You know why it is very similar? Because Winblows blatantly copied elements of OSX for Vista. They have been doing this kind of thing for years (see Sun Java), and they also ripped off the best of both Opera and Firefox for IE7.

macs are the way to go if u want a good computer... and actually they are much harder to hack and to create viruses for.

true, i def agree that they are harder to hack and sh*t. but if you have good virus protecting ect. then your prolly better off going with a custom computer...I have an alienware Laptop and a custom IBUYPOWER desktop and they both run games and stuff better than my friends MAC

Jordan Alienware computer will run games better than any computer, because they are gaming computers, they are much closer to be a gaming console than a computer, yes AOL does suck, and i dont hate BG, i think he is an intelligent man, that know how to pull the BS he is doing, and he beated Mac on the user friendly basis, but that is it, he knew how to monopolize the programs so they will all go for Microsoft and by that making the consumers to buy Microsoft.
