Jonny Metts just bought himself a new computer, and as such, Microsoft Vista is his new operating system. The following exchange ensued as a result. Enjoy our witty (kinda?) commentary!

Now we can have OS wars!
Karl Castaneda
10:20
Oh, that's right. You have OS X 10.2 now.
I mean.
Vista.
Jonathan Metts
10:20
Yeah, it's just like Mac OS except all my programs are compatible with it.
Karl Castaneda
10:21
If by "compatible" you mean "running at quarter-efficiency with the use of a thousand and one hastily-developed drivers," sure.
Jonathan Metts
10:22
By "compatible", I mean I can install and run a version of AIM more recent than 2005.
Karl Castaneda
10:22
Any self-respecting Mac owner wouldn't be seen using AIM to begin with.
There's no better than AdiumX.
Jonathan Metts
10:23
Except when you want to transfer files, or share photos.
Karl Castaneda

You're right, for that we have to resort to the endless valley of iLife programs with which we can create, edit, and then share our various libraries of complex media via any number of ways like iWeb, .Mac, or, if need be, iChat.
Jonathan Metts

With other people who have those programs.

For the record, I, nor Jonny, really give two craps about the "OS Warz," but I thought the conversation was funny enough to share with you all.
