Look at the 'Why Mac' on Apple website - the only main point seems to be - 'Mac already had what Vista has now'. So what? Where are the softwares for Mac?

They are members of the Mac Cult. Mac "users" are emotionally attached to their machine, their software, and the other Mac cult members. Steve Jobs knows this, which is why he treats his cult members so badly by making all his new computers incompatible with his old ones. Mac cult members accept this obvious marketing ploy as the price for having "the latest and the best." There is no question that Mac software is really cool, but that comes with a high price. Mac users claim to be less "geeky," less interested in technical stuff. That may be true, but it proves just how expensive ignorance can be. The truth, I suspect, is that Mac users are just as involved with their software as most Windows users. It is true that Windows is less stable than the Mac OS, but usually the instability comes from using something from the vast array of options available to PC users, options unavailable to Mac users. For me, a former Mac Addict, backwards compatibility, much lower prices, and the flexibility of the PC far outweight the price I have had to pay with "instability."

The machine will turn itself back on with the lid closed -- heating up my backpack and wering down the batteries. Yes, I know this an old (2005) machine and the problem is likely to be some Windows update. But this problem has caused me to give up the Tablet PC and switch to a MacBool Pro. But, I will still long for Tablet Mac. SaS I have started to have problems with my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet “Not enought resources to…” to go into sleep mode.
