For video in fast assembly, nothing beats Edius on XP for getting the jobs done on tight deadlines. Final Cut is not all that is cracked up to be, with the exception of film editing for the long form. I use Xp and OSX for video editing.

You're absolutely right: the PC operating system and Japanese gaming console must be in cahoots. You are enlightenment. So if you like Vista then you probably like the Wii.

Where is all the tang? Dude: We try to do reporting. We do reviews and we report on the news when it happens in a fairly objective way, adding our own dick jokes where appropriate. This is a reply to a fairly outre story by some guy about Vista. CRUNCHGEAR NEVER HARSHED ON VISTA. My own review was positive and I really LIKE THE OS. BUT I THINK FOR MY MONEY - and the money of someone who is fairly new to computers AND power users (note the "and") - the OSes of choice are, in order 1) some flavor of linux 2) OS X 3) Windows. The average get stuff done and be happy user needs Windows. My dad and Neo from the Matrix need Linux. Exactly. Where is all the tang? Dude: We try to do reporting.

Fortunately, he's wrong in the second half of the point: Parallels/VMware Fusion will take care of most problems in that regard. And for gaming, there's Boot Camp. And you can use your Boot Camp partition with Parallels/VMware too. Sure, you have to use Windows, but if you're only using it because you have to and not because you want to, is that really a win? -- Samir Talwar, proud MacBook Pro owner I agree with the first point: it doesn’t matter whether it’s possible to design business software or games for Mac OS - what matters is that there’s hardly any pieces of software in those categories out there.
