MacBook Pro: OS X is lame but great Windows Vista machine!

[mgo]

I have been spending days and days fooling around with my very nice high end MacBook Pro. It has the 1920 X 1200 hi res non-glare screen, a 7200 rpm drive, 4 gig of RAM and OS X on board.

I even bought Office 2008 and some other apps. My conclusions? Not very impressive. Sure, the screen is terrific, and the speed is nice and OS X works pretty well.

But, you can't scale the screen! The teeny tiny text is always going to be teeny tiny. And yes, I tried the "TinkerTool" app with with limited joy.

Let's face it here, folks....Vista can be scaled. It looks fabulous and readable on the MacBook in Boot Camp. Until Apple makes a REAL GUI for the hi res screen, I'm booting to Vista.

Vista runs like a rocket on this hardware, and my favorite programs run super fast. Office 2007 apps open in one second, compared to 15 seconds for Office 2008 on the Apple side. That's just sub par performance, I my mind.

Terrific hardware, but a mediocore user interface and weak programs. I'm not flame baiting here, these are just my personal findings, OK?
