Mac vs PC (split from Netbook thread)

[Sijray21]

For example, I open the lid of this 3yr old MacBook here, it comes out of sleep in a couple seconds, wireless connection is up and it's ready to GO. I open the lid of my 3yr old work Dell laptop... and... hell, I never know what's going to happen. It's fun! Maybe it'll only take 20 seconds or so to reorient itself. Maybe it won't come back at all. Maybe it will, but it forgot that I would like the display to work. Or the keyboard. Or that stuff's ok, but I have to reset the wireless card. And I have plenty of other experience with other PC laptops to know that's kinda normal.

microsoft appears to have fixed this with windows 7. i remember how long it used to take with my old pcs and even with my current pc with vista. i installed 7 about 2 weeks ago and i'm very impressed with the initial start-up and it does appear to be an OS issue since i can notice a different with the exact same pc with a different OS. i thought the commercial was BS, but it appears to be true. starts up and internet is working within 10 seconds? i've never had a pc start up as quick as this one.

i'm not disagreeing with the whole mac vs windows argument, just wanted to point that out.
