Why not? It's an extremely good OS which has a lot more available software than OS X and which also has an excellent media center application. It is also compatible with DRM'd WMVs.
I don't have anything against it, but if one were to use Windows as their primary, wouldn't a PC be better suited and extremely cheaper? Furthermore, I hardly consider Vista as "extremely good", good yes, but extremely, not yet. Theres a few kinks that still need to be worked out, and knowing microsoft, those won't happen until SP2+
just kidding around, i like vista, but i hate all computers that are built to run it, so i use my iMac primarily for vista
You kinda smoked her on the performance end but I think she's gotcha on classic-style and form-factor.
She definitely has me on form-factor, so to speak...
The mini and PowerBook were mine before I upgraded. Her desk is in the house proper. My office is a converted backporch/sunroom so she gets the style and I get functionality.
I miss the PB, by the way.
I figured that was your older equipment. She could probably get the sunroom too if she wanted it

Absolutely!!
Hopes she's not bitter about hand-me-downs
You: "Honey, I just bought a new laptop..."
Her: "What?!?"
You: "...and Mac Pro..."
Her: "What what?!?!"
You: "...but you can have my old ones...?"
Her: "Alrighty sweetie, whatchya want for supper?"

She's not bitter. Her previous computer was a Sony desktop.
That's exactly how the conversation went, by the way.
haha to the last 4 post!
mines got a thinkpad and she really never uses it. but i bet when i pass her down my macbook or macbook pro, she will be on it all the time!
Alright, here we go. First off is my main machine, my quad 2.8 Mac Pro. Not much to show in ways of a screen until my 23" ACD gets here.
Secondly, my main laptop, the last model of 12" PowerBook.
Third, my Power Mac G4 MDD, last generation, 1.25 Ghz single. (currently used by my mother)
Then we come to the retired collection, the PowerBook and iMac G3, both at 233 MHz.
The iMac is one of the original Bondi ones. It hasn't seen a single hardware upgrade in almost 10 years, but is running fine on OS 9.2.
The PowerBook G3 is also running well on OS 9.2, it as well is around a good 10 years old this year.

Hi Guys, This is my 1st Mac Setup post!!
The setup includes:
iMac 2.88Ghz/ 2Gb RAM/ 24"
iPod Touch 16Gb
Rotel 02 Series Pre Amp
Rotel 02 Series Power Amp
DynAudio Audience 42's
Chord Rumor 2 Speaker Cable
Chord Crysalis Phono Interconnects
curious, how did you get your imac up to 2.88Ghz?
Well, 2.8 is really 2.80. So 2.88 is not the exact speed technically.
But you wouldn't "feel" the difference between the two.
