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

That's EXACTLY what I'm saying

Ah, network shares, and yes, I do remember hearing about that now you mention it. Yes, that's true although that's what you get for using proprietary protocols. I'm not claiming Apple is any better in this regard but I can't say I'm surprised that third parties have trouble supporting a largely closed Microsoft protocol.

I'll disagree with you there.

I use 2003/XP at work. At least one reboot per day. Many lockups, corrupted documents, and on and on. Much better than earlier versions of Windows I've been forced to use at work over the years, though. I still lose work, but not quite as much. I still have to save important docs in ASCII .txt files so I can recover from crashes easier. Oh, and the "demanding" applications I run are GroupWise and Word. I ran Windows for a couple of years, but when I suffered a devastating lockup (as opposed to regular lockups) I had a friend install Linux.

I've been in the Linux camp for 6 years now, though I've also been running Macs since 1988.

There is no comparison. The PowerBook (10.4) has been up for over a year. The Linux box has been up for around two. My *mother* runs Linux (and loves it, by the way) and her machine has logged about three years of uptime.

So yeah, I'm biased. But I like stuff that actually works.

Well, I would like to use the ZFS and iSCSI support. I am building a big home server on a Sun Ultra 40 (6 Seagate 750GB SATA drives in RAID-Z2) and would like to consolidate all my storage on it for redundancy purposes.

There's definitely smth messed up on hardware or software level. Check the hardware, if you can replace the PSU (I'd say reboots are 60% PSU & 20% memory issues), and make full reinstall of W2003. The mashine I'm writing from is running FTP, Apache and SMB + some CAD from time to time + everything else for 3 years and I honestly don't remember the last time it gave me BSD. It's a bottom dollar Duron 750 with top-dollar Fortron 450W PSU, fans are oiled every 6 months or so

I'm at least happy they finally announced the delay and gave a new window for how long to wait. I had been holding off to moving over to a new hard drive until it came, but since I now know I was able to go ahead and move over.

I agree. In my experience bad memory accounts for even more than 20% random crashes and that's true for any computer whatever OS. I'm no Windows apologist but when the hardware is working correctly Windows 2000,XP and 2003 should never crash.

An OEM Copy of Windows Vista Home Basic says that Loepard will be demoed at WWDC.

Not a Mac user, so not sure whether it was some hoax, or something well known already. Got an email from Apple today saying OSX Leopard is being released on Oct-26.


Just checked, apparently it's true:

Subtle countdown on the homepage.

 

[JMcMasterJ]

Yep. Pre-ordered mine earlier today.

 

[blessingx]

Amazon has it for $109 preordered. Also Apple has a listing of the new features.

 

[bperboy]

Geeze! Didn't look at the first post date; scared me a little bit!

I preordered with Education discount (whoooo 15 bux!

) and backed up my Macbook Pro on 2 externals; I'm going to do a clean install!

 

[ken36]

Ordering today.

 

[krmathis]

I will pick it up at the local store on release day (October 26th).
That way I would probably get it faster than pre-ordering online.
