Upgrading the operating system: Apple vs Microsoft
Today is one of those days where I was raised in fanboy plan, and because of that I publish this post criticized the Redmond company and praise the good of the apple. It seems that Microsoft presented a table to update Windows Vista to Windows 7 (Read more about : Upgrading to Windows 7 will not be easy) and how this will be done depending on the version you have on your system.
Well, we’re going to see a comparison of what would be the equivalent to our Mac and its operating system, that is, moving from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Here we see the policy that Microsoft continues to say that I find quite incomprehensible in an error of such an impact on company computers, and with analysts and market research available to us, and continues to fall into the error of dividing its Operating Systems in many versions that do nothing but marear staff.
And here the difference if we have a Mac (Intel), how we would have to upgrade to future version of Snow Leopard.
And here, If you have a Mac with Power PC , you can not upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Easy no??
Please explain “Custom install”

Install from scratch
Also, Apple way is best – keep things trim.
“Custom Install” means basically wipe your hard drive and make a new installation.
You can also just do the install and windows will move your old installations data to a folder called windows.old. But when I do a new install I like a clean HD, cause I’m picky.
I have no love in my heart for the PowerPC Macs and I think they are right to drop them. If I ever buy a Mac it will be when I have money and want a nice sleek bit of hardware. I’m not a big fan on OSX. Don’t get my wrong, it is a well built, quality OS, better then windows in that respect. But I REALLY don’t like it’s interface, particularly the colour scheme, navigation and window management.
If I ever get a Mac I will keep OSX for the fantastic programs that are available for it but I will reduce it’s partition size, and slap on a copy of Ubuntu and Win7. Ubuntu for it’s customizability (I like customizing machines) and coding work. Win7 for games. And keep maybe OSX for a bit of design work.
