Interesting. I like the fact that apple is sticking Vista capable stickers to sell chipsets. The LCD's is a little sneaky though. Sad that when you spend 2-3k on their product you would expect a 8bit panel, now they are using 6bit TN and forgetting to tell their customers...

Shame on Apple for misleading the consumer. Shame on the photographers(original law suit) for using a macbook as their editing maching. It's a consumer machine. Don't believe everything you read from companies. I think there are going to be several LCD manufacturers watching how this goes. They tend to do the same thing Apple is doing.

FWIW, I'm running Vista on an old Gateway 700 (P4 1.8gz, 1gig of RAM, ATi Radeon 9550, SB Audigy) and it runs just fine. I've found Vista to be a lot more stable than WinXP.

I cant believe how many people still hate/have a grudge against vista. Its not Microsofts fault that software and hardware companies failed miserably to produce the proper drivers in a timely manner.

But it's so much FUN to kick Big, Bad Microsoft.....no one ever challenges you, they just nod "knowingly" in pseudo-intellectual agreement....geek group-think, it's very common. No facts needed, just agree with the popular opinion du jur and you, too, can appear really smart.....Be one of the all-knowing inner circle!

(I deal with this daily.)

In all fairness, MS wasn't real good in communicating the info needed for the driver changes.

Everyone has learned a bit from this fiasco. I just hope they remember what they learned....
