This post is being written to you from a fresh copy of Windows Vista Enterprise. A REAL copy. Not a Beta or an RC1 or a bootleg, but a real, activated, updatable copy and it's fucking awesome.

Simplicity is in. Want to change something about your computer? Click the "Computer" button. Easy.

Most important, a level of Unix-ian security is finally present, including a gorgeous system that allows you to simultaneous be and not be the administrator of a system, thus necesitating your knowledge before something happens to your system. Furthermore, when anything accesses something that is beyond superficial the system STOPS. Fucking halts, darkens everything on the screen and bring up a window that essentially says: Something is trying to fuck with me, is it you? Therefore you have the option to reassure your computer, Yes, it's me, you'll be fine; or probably being surprised as it is at this point, click, No, what the fuck? Please don't.

Whether or not the benefits of these sytems will be seen by the end user, who is generally so blind as to hit other cars in the road and cite "not seeing them" as a valid excuse, remains to be seen. Will the average person understand running a program as an Administrator? While the function is only two clicks away (a vast improvement from CMD > Run As: user -a path; I doubt a person will see that an installation proceedure has generated a folder access error upon attempting to apply a patch and instinctively think, "Oh? Run as Administrator might fix that."

It comes down to a willingness to learn. The software is an impressive improvement. In my eyes OSX can shut the hell up now, because we're working on equal grounds now. I no longer feel as if the distinction of better or worse needs to be made, it's a matter of personal preference. If you like being spoon-fed by your system and are completely unwilling or unable or unwanting to use more advanced computing sorts of things, stick with OSX and be perfectly happy in knowing that you're in great hands. If the Mac aesthetic doesn't do it for you, or you still need more control over your system, or god forbid play games, it's time to upgrade...

Well as soon as you normal folk can get your hands on a copy. smile
