Default in a way

imo it does only because you have the object dock which mac has been doing for the past 2 or 3 os. but yes i have had it for quite some time and i also think that it is a good skin, i hope when they finnaly do release it, it is a little more media centered though. i tried 2005 MCE and dont like the way it set up. but i think with the way they have vista, with a few minor upgrades it will be a good media os.

**** MAC though, it's kind of mixing XP with MAC style. But wether it's the best MAC on earth, it will never beat the crappiest PC. You have no control of MACs, cannot run command such as regedit.exe... For beginners only, no wonder all the girls in my class prefers MACs.

Also, I dont like MACs cause I like my 8 button mouse...i could never use their 1-click P.O.S.

Interface looks nice, but honestly isn't the easiest to navigate through that stuff. It took me quite a long time to find a MAC on that thing, I called someone who had a Mac and they didn't even know. PC's are mainstream and I'd take a virus here and there and a reformat than to get a Mac that doesn't have the capabilitis like a PC does

boy that was OT

Most people in my school who use MACs can't really "use" a computer (as far as tweaking and hacks). I'm sure that is not always the case. I have also noticed that most MAC people are full of themselves (dam MAC using people).
