Yes, but the grace period is usually something like a couple of weeks or perhaps a month (definitely not much longer) for new computer purchases qualifying for a free OS upgrade.

When an anticipated Mac OS upgrade gets delayed (which has happened before), I usually take advantage of the opportunity to see how far a particular Linux distro has come

since my computer's HD is going to be erased and everything built from scratch again anyway.

oh, who cares? It's an operating system; it's boring, it's dull, it's functional

unless you need something very specific it offers, who cares? c'mon folks, some things aren't important in life

I'm willing to bet an awful lot of Mac users have to deal with Windows at work. I think they're well aware of Windows "glitches". Lets just say as someone who used a Windows machine most of his life, usually built his own boxes and until recently made his living with MS ASP web development, it's been much more enjoyable coming home to my computer since I made the 'switch' to OS X.

And all OSs aren't equally boring. I certainly get more excited about them, than the the vast majority of hardware (computer and .... audio).

I've run into far more issues with W2003 than MacOS 10.4 but considering I look after a corporate network full of W2003 boxes that may not be surprising. Generally speaking I think most users just prefer what they're used to. I'm happy enough to use any OS in my day job (Yes, I do mean that literally) but at home I much prefer MacOS.

Try to share partition b/w W2003 and Mac and you'll know what I'm talking about. Or just look on Apple discussion boards.

I have a dual boot MacOS X/XP laptop and have MacOS X mount XP's NTFS partition read/write. Works great. Bit of a pain to set up initially but that's just as true mounting Mac partitions on Windows too (and I don't want to pay for Macdrive). Or are you talking of something else?

What are you talking about? I never have a problem with my mac, but my Vista machine crashes all the time.

Nay, I'm talking Samba/SMB over TCP/IP. Since W2003 MS does not supported SMB exchange on port 139 (known vulnerability), but Mac can not establish SMB on 445. It's a well known problem for more than 3 years alrady - no solution from Apple so far
