I've switched back to Windows Vista from Mac OS X and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. "I didn't expect it to be like this, I didn't want Vista to be this good - I was expecting to boot back into OS
X and living happily ever after, but damn, this is one fast, slick and nice operating system. If you are a Mac user try it yourself, install boot camp and Vista and it will feel like you just added another CPU and doubled your RAM - I can't see any evidence for any of the reports of Vista being slow or power-hungry," these are the words of Nik Cubrilovic, founder and CEO of Omnidrive, and a recovering Mac OS X user.

Cubrilovic converted to Windows Vista because of a Mac OS X major crash. And major is in fact an understatement, as the latest Apple operating system completely killed his boot partition. Cubrilovic delivers the ultimate argument contradicting the myth that Mac computers are an epiphany of stability. When his Mac OS X failed, it did it to an extent that convinced Cubrilovic to install Windows Vista.

Microsoft's latest operating system has a great advantage over the Apple Mac OS X. The fact that the Cupertino-based company has traded off Leopard for the iPhone, has only opened a window of opportunity for Vista. And unlike the Mac OS C which is limited to Apple hardware, Vista runs smoothly on Intel-based Mac computers. Cubrilovic's case is bound not to be singular, and more Mac users looking to upgrade their Mac OS X Tiger will jump over to Windows Vista.

"Overall, Vista is very fast and offers many new features. In the past 15 years I have gone from DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Linux, OpenBSD, Windows 98, Windows 2000 (a nice OS for the time), XP, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and now Vista and working with Vista this weekend reminds me of the first time I ran an early preview of Mac OS X and spent an hour running my mouse across the dock (back in 2000). The job of building an operating system isn't an easy one, and Microsoft have managed to take a good leap forward with Vista which they should get some credit for (although it probably is at least 2 years late)," Cubrilovic concluded.
