i'll post this here rather than start a new thread. i'm having Mac Problems
my Vista machine is my primary computer, but i still keep the mac around (i decided i'd give apple a try a year ago, didn't fall in love at all)

any of you ever have trouble with a mac refusing to spit out a cd? i'm pretty computer knowledgeable, but this one has me baffled. XP Pro install disc is in there. i guess apple doesn't want me to have it back i've even gone to terminal and executed the eject command, and it's being stubborn.

and everyone knows this is a pointless argument, the Apple Zealots will never back down and not support Lord Jobs, and the windows guys won't budge either.
I use 3 different editions of windows on a regular basis, and OS X. Vista is my favorite. and i've got a personal rule that i won't judge Beta operating systems too harshly, i don't expect full compatability on an operating system that is still a beta. there's one thing i like about my macbook pro over "MY" Dell XPS M1330, and that's the touchpad, that's something apple got right.
and the "apple doesn't get virus'" argument is
Do macs have manual CD drive openers (is there an official term for that?) - A.K.A. the little hole you put a paper clip into to force the drive to open?

Also - 7 has no compatibility issues that I've found. Not only is it fully back compatible to Vista/XP/Etc, but its fully compatible from 64 bit to 32 bit modes.

Like I said, I love it and won't be switching back to XP. Just waiting on pricing so I know how much I need to save for when the beta edition is no longer usable.
