A Mac User’s Note on Windows 7
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my new 27” iMac. Why? For games, of course!
One thing struck me while discussing my initial experiences of the OS with my ‘Microsoftie’ dad: Windows 7, somewhat like its predecessor Vista, behaves like an OS acutely aware of its vulnerability.
With its insane default security settings and constant confirmation prompts for anything involving a system change or the running of an application, Windows 7 seems to be permeated by the mentality of a survivalist: holed up in a shiny blue cave, with lots of tinned food and water, pointing a double-barreled shotgun at the entrance.
By comparison, OSX is like a good bartender: it keeps an eye on you while you have a good time, but only asks for your car keys if you start acting stupid.
