If you can't use the auto save function then by all means go throw another $1500 at a Mac. The sales people at the Apple store will be more than happy to take your money. Auto save has been a staple in Office products for at least the last 3 versions.

The blue screen of death may even be attributed too the aging hardware. Bad memory and hard drives cause BSODs as well. Its not only a flawed OS here. What happens when your Mac tries to right to bad memory? The same thing will happen, whether you call it a BSOD or the ever lasting beach ball, it happens on both sides of the fence.

There was a day when a 250GB hard drive was close to a grand. These will come down as the technology improves.

Tsing Tao...failing again at fanboyism!

@Mark Anderson: Very true! Its guys like him that gives guys us jobs, to come in and unscrew their mess.

@ Tsing Tao: Also patches should be installed during a maintenance window and really should be tested before deploying so your not surprised when it breaks. Glad you don't work for me!

@Tsing Tao: Why the F are you installing IE8 on your servers already? Its full of security holes that haven't been patched yet.

Why do we post every time a Mac update comes out?

Aren't we in a down economy?

Obviously your missing the point of the netbook. Also look at M$ and their hold on the HW specs for netbooks. Thats why they aren't advancing. Once Windows 7 comes out in Oct, the netbooks then will be better than netbooks now.

The reason why you can get better hardware now for the same price as what a Eee $G Surf cost is because people are buying netbooks and making them cheaper for the rest of us.

BTW, I have an Eee 8G with BackTrack [Linux] on it. You don't need windows.

That's about the ugliest thing ever!
