I just got the October 2001 edition of Consumer Reports. There's a one page minimalistic breakdown of the good & bad of those two OS's. They mention that MS abandoned "smart tags" which we all knew and the upgrade of hardware no longer disables XP, if it's done in "small bursts". I assume that to mean that if you replace one piece of hardware at a time you don't need to call MS for an OKAY. That, I didn't know about, and am unsure of it's accuracy.
They also say that Macs OS X is a fine piece of software, except NOTHING RUNS ON IT, yet. It's a UNIX playform & the 1000 or so proggies available are DEMO or very specialized applications.
Thier recommendation-
XP: if you have hardware that's less than 2 years old-upgrade, otherwise what you have, if it's older than that, may not work.
OS X- Wait until there is a plethora of software available.
As much as I trust CU, they are way behind the times, usually, regarding computer stuff.
