  • Good video, Soldier! Some people just get offended for no reason. I myself used to have Vista and didn't like many aspects of it. Now I have a mac and it works very well for me.

  • take it from me i'm going back to the AMIGA in the next year or so

  • Thumbs up if in 2011

  • WINDOWS WILL ALWAYS BE THE MAJORITY. WIN 7 IS FAR BETTER THAN MAC SOLDIER EVEN SAID IT WAS BETTER!!

  • well after 2 years, and with windows 7 is out, we can answer the question, and the answer is: no

  • Vista sucks. I used it. Now I have a windows 7 custom PC, and windows 7 has NO problems at all. Incredibly user friendly, not loaded with cr@p which you don't use anyway, very fast, directX 11... it's almost perfect.

  • more people are a pc

  • Is Windows dying? No.

  • I hated Vista - BUT i installed it on a pentium 4 eMachines pc and it installed fine in no time. I also installed it on say around 3000 pc's it installed fine as i was a tecky employee back then so it must have been bad hardware on your side. Mac does not have this problem becuase less hardware is developed for it becuase apple are to greedy to share the market - but when they do get more populer than microsoft you will see the same problem. Vista did suck big time though.

  • Bye Windows, Hello Linux.

  • Bye Windows!

  • Umm for the person who said there are more PCs world wide than MACs. In the words of steve jobs " Were not out to make the most computers...Were out to make the best" PC User = Someone to dumb or broke to own a MAC. And Yes a true mac fan leaves windows behind in full. and compared to OSX. All windows OS's are bad (yes i've tried 7 ultimate, Snowy wins!) So to answer your question Dying? No...Dead! From phones to mp3 players to software...Apple is way ahead. then linux (ubuntu or fedora)!

  • pcs are more advanced and apple does not make theyre computers fully available to use windous so suck it we have 16 cores (phisical) u have 8 =)) si we can do more faster better oh and ps y have a mac also but y dont kiss apples ass

  • If you have problems with Vista, just upgrade to Windows 7 or downgrade to Windows XP

    *Don't believe Microsoft, Windows 7 runs on 512 MB minimum, not 1 GB!

  • good one.

    Vista is Catastrofe

  • I know. Maybe Vista has a lot of new features but when it comes to performance, it will move very slow

  • It's ironic that a Mac fanatic would complain about a lack of driver support.

  • Eh, a true Mac "fanatic" wouldn't own any computers running Windows, and practically everyone complained about a lack of driver support.

  • windows is not dying they had one bad os who cares theyre still the number one customer selected there are wayyyy more pcs worldwide then macs

  • I agree with you 100%

  • windows sux. lol @ the retards below me flashing their stats up. who the hell cares about ur fancy ass graphic cards and memory n crap, ur operating system sux nuts so it doesnt matter... rules

  • Yes, Vista was shit, but Windows is ALOT better than Mac OS. You just have to know how to use a computer properly. That is the bad thing about windows. You got to learn it. Every dumbass can use a Mac.

    If mac is trying to be better, why use Windows aswell?

    Its like surrender!

    The reason alot of people hate Windows is because of Vista. But think of it. Nobody likes Bush either, but CHANGE is here!!

    Windows is going to be great!!!

  • No windows isn't dying 90% of people are on a PC. I have a T3400 running at 2GHz with 4GBs of RAM and Vista my computer runs perfectly fine I have 0 problems, and i dont ahve to pay an arm and a leg for for something I don't really need. The only thing I like about mac is the overall look. If you have vista you can make it look like a mac.

  • im on vista right now...i got 4gb of ram and a pentium dual core and it is pure shit! macs are much better

  • @frozunyogurt Stop blaming windows. Get windows 7, and your pc will be awesome.

  • You can't really compare OS X with Windows like that; Windows is designed to run on millions of different hardware combinations, whereas OS X is designed to run on very specific hardware setups. A lot of effort goes in to making sure Windows works on as many systems as possible.

    That said, I definitely prefer Snow Leopard to Vista :P

  • i have 1gb of ram :S but my pc isnt that slow,

  • Wow you must be really jealous of Macs to say that, two words buddy... Boot Camp, OMG it runs great and you can run all the software you can't on a Mac.

  • ....that is still windows smartass Windows should only be allowed on normal stuff not friggin Macs..

  • lol well thats why apple is much smarter than Microsoft

  • um not for me i've been using mac all my life i never used windows even the first computer i was taught in was a mac. i plan to use windows if its necessary hopefully never. im a real apple fanatic and i wish i can buy everything but so far i hav a mac mini thats like really really old and i juss bought a mac book pro in may this thing is sweet way better dan windows i still say!

  • The laptop I have right now only has 1 Gig running Vista and it sucks...My mom's Dell laptop has 2 and it runs like a champ,this guy knows what he's talking about.

  • it's fucking vista, what do you expect? windows 7 is like a godsend now.

  • maybe it is, but mac is still FAR beyond it :D

  • But not Snow Leoopard.. Snow Leopard was a waste of time (unless you are disabled). this is the first time i prefer Windows over Mac.

    Vista was Microsoft's sexiest OS, but the shittiest one.

  • Vista was the best looking? Don't tell me that Windows 7 doesn't look as much better from Vista as it is stability, and performance wise.

  • Snow Leopard wasn't a waste of time. It is just Leopard with a few changes, it's little more than a software update. That's why the cost is ridiculously low. It's hardly a new OS, because Apple doesn't have any need to make one yet.

  • @Dragon2sword But in my opinion windows 7 failed a little too

  • windows is a changed pirated copy of mac.

  • actually vista is the bomb you just need a good computer.. that meens 2GB of ram and a 2.5GHz processor and Vista OWNS ALL!!!!!and i pretty good graphics card for aero just make sure you buy a computer thats compatible with Vista =]

  • Define "owns"

    With the same specs in a Mac, you totally blow Vista.

    Why is Vista so heavy? A bit because it is 7 years newer than XP, but mostly because its code is horrible.

    BTW, almost every new feature of Vista is a poor rip-off of Mac OS X.

  • How do you know the code is horrible dumb ass, you cannot see any of it because it is in binary. Microsoft has 25 of the best desktop programmers in the world. Tell them that they no nothing.

  • Pssst.... C'mom, when you get a 8 year old OS full of makeup that weights 4 times more on your hardware something must be damn wrong with the code.

    And no, the code isn't completely in binary, this way making an OS, even a simple one, would take years....

    Micro$hit's "best programmers" know nothing.

  • psst dipshit i dont see macs having touch screens and guess what smarty pantzs there are laptops with vista installed that weigh the same as macs O.O and the code isnt horrible my brother is a professional IT and he could tell you that

  • I will state my solution of this little "OS War" in christmas language.

    Windows 7 RC to all and to all shut the hell up after installation.

  • lol and Windows 7 is amazing. its Much better than Snow Leopard, and i think its the first time Windows may defeat Mac.

    Microsift is slipping though. Mac may still win this battle... but we will see the final product (Windows 7 build 7077 is faster than 7100... im running on build 7100.

  • sorry dude its not gonna be better than snow leopard, or the old leopard or the tiger

  • your right windows 7 is amazing

  • I just got Snow Leopard and I have Windows 7 on Boot Camp and Windows 7 is not as close to being as good as Snow Leopard.

  • Windows has nothing on OS X in my mind. However, I'm not too impressed with Snow Leopard thus far - it seems a little buggy which is unusual for Apple software :S

  • I will not shut the hell up. I have Windows 7, I'm using it right now, It's much better than Vista, but I still prefer Mac.

  • It kills you laptop battery, it doesn't own all sadly.

  • whats with all of the fricking fanboyism!? why can't mac users and windows users just shut the hell up and get along!? i just got my macbook pro yesterday and love it, but i find OS X a bit... confusing... the interface is harder to navigate for me. i found windows so much easier to navigate, but i'm slowly getting used to OS X. both OS's have ups and downs. they're equal for what they do. windows is compatible with literally everything, OS X is for more power users.

    enough said.

  • Once I switched from 32 bit to Vista 64 bit version and found all the correct drivers I have absolutely no problems. It loads in 17 seconds and Im' Glad I stayed with it. My wife has a MAC but feel like Windows Is still better for what I use it for. GAMING. I dont get the Blue screen and everything is so much smother. As far as security. There are far fewer 64 bit viruses. Ill Stay windows because I cant Build my own Super Mac like I can a Windows Rig

  • MAC pro? + bootcamp or VMfusion?

  • Yeah. If you can't leave your games behind (like me), buy VMfusion and run them in Windows but with the Mac interface!

    And since Macs are OFFCIALLY the fastest Windows-capable machines, you will still get a performance boost!

  • It's quite obvious!

  • Until we see major computer manufactures experimenting with distributing, pre-installing and supporting other operating systems on their systems then windows is safe.

    Oh wait they are!!!!

  • no windows is not dying.

    windows is trying to make the best out of your pc.

    we got a few problems when bringing it out,

    wich we admit

    but the problems get fixed fast.

    and the drivers problem and speed problems get fixed too.

    and the speed increase ment is going really fast with vista now

  • masterpj55: are you one of the designers for windows vista lol??? I just like the layout of windows, Im afraid of Macs leopard thingy... =)

  • lol u wish vista was like that! vista is still the slow overly protected junk operating system as it was when it fist came out

    GO MAC!

  • I have suspected that Window's has a strategy at making OS's

    first phase: The OS is Buggy (It's kinda like a beta)

    second phase: bugs get fixed

    third phase: yay!

    \m/

  • First of all let me say I love your videos, ur probably my favorite person to watch on you-tube. Second I heard that Windows 7 was originally going to be released April, of 2009, but they said it won't be ready so they are going to push it back a "little" bit. Try to do some research and make a video, cause I wana learn a little more about it. Solider knows best. God bless.

  • My mom hates visa shes trying to remove it from her laptop. On the other hand I love vista. I like the way it look the way it runs its just great.

  • wow you must know nothing about computers them

  • People have been foreseeing the death of Windows and the prosperity of Linux and Mac since the 90's, but Windows still has over 90% of the market share. Stop talking about it and live in peace with your fancy little Mac.

  • Vista just crashed the 3rd time this month on me. I am done with Microsoft...im buying a mac. I have an xps m1330, which is a solid machine. But I am not going to spend hours reformatting my hd several times just because of an unstable os. Im going mac rout. See ya later bill gates...hello steve jobs.

  • i tested the beta version of vista from way back then when it used to be longhorn and yes it totally sucked! I have mac and pc so i know the difference. For me, mac has that cool UI but in terms of usability and features, it sucked. Vista on the other hand has gone sucky to awesome. Lots of features, easy to use, good UI, lots of available applications. Productivity: Mac 6/10 - Vista 8/10. Mac is if you wanna be one of the cool ones. Vista is if when you want things done. Try using them both.

  • im still using the original RTM release of vista(build 6000), even after SP1 has come out, and the only problem that ive had was a spyware program, and that was before i had Windows Defender turned on, and i havent had a single virus, trojan, or infection since then

    and i strongly disagree that Leopard is the best os out there, im running vista on 6 year old computer technology, and it runs just as fast as the brand new macs that i use, Windows Vista RTM is the worlds greatest operating system

  • This is why I still use XP lol

  • SoldierKnowsBest I really like yours videos. I have already subscribe it. I agree with you when you say "Windows is dying". I have only Windows computer at home and I am very anxious to buy the new mac that are coming in September/October. I am becoming a little angry with the sucessive errors that I have constantly. I don´t use Windows Vista because it has more problems than XP. Still I am freaking out with this. I hope you continue with your work and "PEACE!"

  • Soldierknowsbest, your videos are informative and very good. Understand you cant please everyone and alot of these ppl have some BITCHASSNESS in them, if you dont know what i mean check out P DIDDY explaining the 200% increase of BITCHASSNESS on the net. They are haters just ignore them

  • Windows has been dying since Vista, I had it from beta 1, right through to the release date. I installed on my PC that I had it time and you would install one driver then it would knock out another thing. I now use a macintosh for simple clarity because everything just works!

  • hold on genius.

    you say that microsoft has to trick people into liking vista? lmao, they are presenting their product without allowing people to bring any preconceived motions to the table. whiny brats like yourself tell people vista is bad, and they believe you before even using it.

  • lol...If you have to still convince people that your product is good 2 years after it's release, something is wrong. I have said that Vista is stable pay attention to the video please. In the end I said Windows wil be here to stay. The title of the video was a question. Good luck.

  • wow so microsoft releases one OS that wasn't fantastic and the macboys are already rumoring that Windows is dying...

  • The title was a question. I'll make it more clearer next time besides the question mark. Good luck in the future.

  • First you had to Ask the question... even though Windows dominates 92% of the market.

    You just sound so cocky in your videos nowadays. I've lost my interest in this channel.

  • @sil3nfsnip3r it wasnt just not fantastic. it was freaking terrible

  • @sil3nfsnip3r Windows 1.0 sucked, windows 2.0 sucked, etc, etc, vista sucked, windows 7 sucked. windows has always sucked. vista was just more suckage than it was already. i was fed up when xp came out.

  • I am a current windows owner, when I get the money I am buying a MacBook Pro.

  • I think windows dies at the moment that business life is switching from windows to mac. At that moment there is no need for windows anymore, gaming will be 95% console and business uses mac. Great video snb!

  • ps. I dont know where you got the tuesday update thing, I can assure you that I dont get critical updates every tuesday. And its a well known fact that nothing works on macs.

  • im not saying windows is better, but it is very pretty. Vista may not be the best OS but its still a really good one. Sure it has issues, but so do macs and the only people who dont think vista is good are the ones who dont know how to use the OS to its full potential AKA, those that only use the computer for email and web surfing.

  • if mac has much driver as windows , i would switch to mac in a matter of second :-D

  • as soon as the mac os is not proprietary and can run on a pc with your own hardware then i will get one. I don't want mac hardware.

  • same here

  • dieeeeeee windows. long live to MAC!!!

  • Windows isn't going no where it own's 93% of the market so apple doesn't have much because there is also linux which a lot of people like to if windows were to dye everything would die windows exclusive programs almost of the games for windows, programs like word & excel that are on macs it just wouldn't happen that be the biggest change. I know for fact you will never see a switch from owning 93% to apple owning that much it just how it is. I like vista but it does need work mainly PERFORMANCE

  • um try like 90 percent which is still a ton compared to mac and linux

  • a lot of businesses/people are starting to use/switch Mac's I'm one of those people. HEY soldier how about giving me your mac since your getting the new one =D.

  • i should go buy OSX Leopard for mac mini G4 it has tiger = (

  • Why are there so many critical updates for OSX, if its so good, shouldnt they have less updates. Every bank in the world uses windows or linux, not mac, all major businesses use windows, not macs and vista takes less than an hour to install on an good computer.

  • I would rather have a company that releases security updates as soon as they have a fix and have no viruses then wait till every second Tuesday like Windows. And I know most people wouldn't complain about making your computer safer. True, most banks or major businesses use Windows because of its market share and everybody knows how to work it. Now because Windows is on 90% of computers doesn't make it a better OS. Thats why businesses aren't upgrading to Vista.

  • Widows 7!!

  • another great video:)

    can't wait to get my macbook pro;)

    saving up still lol

  • how come your shows are so popular? I want to be like you

  • Ha ha. The Linux/Ubuntu nerds are a joke. What you don't get is that not everyone is a geek nerd like you. They want EASE OF USE on an attractive UI. OS X offers that. Linux doesn't. As long as some degree of complexity and above average user knowledge is required in Linux, NO ONE will adopt it en masse.

  • Everything you say is correct. No way can you run vista on 1GB it has to be 2GB at least. I use home premium 64 bit and it works lovely. But I am getting sick of windows so I use knoppix distribution on my dell laptop. Anyway I am getting a mac hopefully soon.

  • I know a lot of ppl at my school have decided to use the mac style dock on their windows PC, usually vista. I think it shows the main problem is people aren't 100% happy with vista, but are to scared of the the unknown to make the jump to Mac OSX. The same maybe true with Mac and linux, i haven't used to linux as i have no idea how it works or what will work with it. As a recent switcher though(last week MBP) i can say i think Mac OSX is the shizzle!

  • Then don't fucking watch. If you're so pissed with the quality of his videos, just don't watch. You aren't paying for his videos, so stop bitching like a 12 year old boy, and go take your ritalin. Retard.

  • Sorry but not many will go into Mac. Soon as Adobe starts to publish in the linux platform and OGL 3.0 becomes mainstream many companies will go to with Ubuntu instead of windows.

    You can do anything and more with linux than you can with either Windows or Mac.

  • know people who are hardcore mac fans who have to get the program that allows you to run combo mac os/windows on thier mac for compatability issues with work/school etc. so that goes back to the companies all running windows and thier employees or students files and computers (if they have macs) are not compatable...just my 2 cents

  • i figured i would add this, there is no question that macs are better than pc, they allways have been and they probably allways will be. However apple will never be bigger than microsoft and pc's. People and businesses today (probably 80%) use windows and not mac OS because of back when the personal computer was first created apple made the mistake of charging estra for nessescary programs such as safari so people and businesses jumped of pc's and now it would be too costly to switch. also i...

  • i am happy with my pc (hp laptop) and windows vista

  • Haha HP and Vista -- the worst of both worlds. People who are "happy" with Vista as a primary platform don't know what they're missing. Vista is bleeding so many people to the Mac platform because at bottom, it's a Windows bloatware accumulating pile of junk. The system slows down after a few months of use and to get it back to tip top shape you need a reinstall. Or else hours of pruning. Lame imo. Thank fark I made the switch.

  • Thats why i'm thankful i bought my comp before vista was released. Windows 7 should be interesting, wonder if I'll be able to run it on a mac.

  • windows 7 is vista with touch...wow.cmon what kind of shit is that..i mean touch will be nice but then you got to buy new monitors that support touch and all that..but this is just like microsoft to make you spend 100's of dollars of periphrials

  • nooooo, they are a multi billion dollar company, How do u think they could die?

  • I didn't say they were going away.

  • o sry , if windows seven was truly innovative and alot better than os x Would you truly switch back to windows?

  • I think Microsoft had a slump with Vista, whether this is matched by sales is a different matter, but I get a feel that many are disappointed with it compared to XP. I think that Apple will soon have a big increase in the market share. I don't think that Microsoft will go, but I do think that the two OSs will have to work together better. The only thing is that Apple need to make sure that build quality of Macs is kept at a high standard. I think Mac should aim at the gaming market as well.

  • I have used Windows for about 13 years now, and I have always like it, even though I haven't used anything else. I am seriously considering changing to an iMac in the next month, and would like to know how easy it is for you to be able to know how to work everything in the OS - inside and out!

    Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut on a Mac to print screen (screen capture) the whole screen, so it can be saved as an image or pasted into a Keynote presentation for example?

  • I think that the only good windows is VISTA ULTIMATE 64-BIT

    but only for gamers. OSX is better in almost every chategory

    but gaming.

  • The thing with the Mojave Experiment is that the people in the video said that Vista slows your computer down. Well, Microsoft would have put 'Mojave' (aka Vista) on a high spec machine to make it run as fast as possible. Also, they would have made the Mojave drivers work before being released to them. That means that the problems that the people had heard may still be problems for their machines, coz the Mojave machine would be checked!

    Hope this makes sense!

  • man i always check that u gat any new vdo or sumtin .. man i like all of ur vdos .. keep ur good wrk homie .

  • hah sorry just rtelized my last post made no sence... wasn't paying atention sorry. Anyway great video yet again!!

  • why are you not wearing anything army or your uniform? hahah but i love your videos and keep them coming

  • lol...yea I just got comfortable.

  • hey SoliderKnowsBest I love your videos and I subscribe. You were talking about how you use boot camp for your games and I was wondering if you have tried CrossOver Games it works great and I dont have to actually run windows to use it allows me to run the games straight on my leopard screen.

    And I use the basic CrossOver for windows apps it works awesome aswell

    Have you used these apps before

  • I haven't used CrossOver yet. I've heard good things about it.

  • yeh vistas crap. mind vista is more like a milestone for the next one comming out in 2010 its like a difrent version of window s that was out a while ago. it was like a milestone for the next one (forgotten what its called) the future is a touch screen like table in 2010. sorry duno if u spoken bout this lol busy watching family guy

  • Yea I definitely agree with you. More and more people are switching over to XY and Z OS. I'm looking forward to Windows 7 as well, but for now I just run Vista via Boot Camp and it works great.. one problem is that from one day to another my freaken Aero dissapeared.. like literally I can't even select it in the themes. I'm looking for a solution on Google for this issue. Anyways if you read this hit me back :).

  • windows is crashing and failing

  • I totally agree with you, I have vista on my laptop that I bought in march, at first it was great, but now I can admit it does suck. Any OS that takes 10 minutes to shut down has some serious issues!

    It really makes me want to switch over to mac when I get my next laptop, but I will probably get parallels for gaming and stuff.

    Anyways another great video

    B.Escorcio.

  • Let me correct the first sentence. It should read i think one of the main problems is if not the problem. :)

  • Another great video...... I think one the main problem is not the problem is that Microsoft released it knowing that 1g of memory was not enough to run it plus all the major computer company's went along with it, they all knew they where releasing a os that the majority of people could not run without having to update there computers or if they where buying one they had to spend more money to upgrade it.... Microsoft make one version of your OS not 4 or 5 stop being stupid.....

  • Agree...

  • you cant commet about something you dont use on a daily bassis and your a mac an ofcourse youre gonna say that so i think this video is pointless

  • I use Windows my friend. Mac OS X is my primary, XP for games, and Vista rarely for certain programs. I use a little bit of everything. How bout you? Got Mac?

  • like you i use macs but not on a daily basis but i am not going to make the assumptions about apple because although i think windows is much better i still love apple and can respect their product and decisions and yes i plan on getting a macbook pro hopefully soon

  • I disagree i have vista and its perfect it actually improved my laptop also the mohave experience is smart and goes to show u that vista is awesome its just nobody wants to give it a try because of all the negatives people have said so what a few people dont like it they dont got to ruin it to everyone and trust me the new windows 7 will beat macs OS system because their working on it to this minute and are correnting any mistakes they could have made but thats just my view

  • I never said Vista is currently a bad OS. I think it's stable but it's not what it should or could have been. Just like the launch of MobileMe, it had problems at the start that could have been prevented but caused a lot of people problems. Vista has been out for 2 years and they are just getting people interested with the Mojave experiment. A little too late. Windows 7 has a very long way to go to get close to Mac OS X.

  • i think it's hilarious that you see no flaws with your statement. "correcting any mistakes" are you kidding? Windows is a mistake. Windows seven to beat OSX? Please tell me where you are getting any of your information from, because you're statements are mere speculation. Just because Microsoft announced Windows 7, doesn't mean shit. It means that they have a name for it, and a plan. Like most software developers about 98% of the Dev Team is focused on improving/bug fixing current version. Idiot

  • You are So right about Apple becoming popular and People are switching. Today, I saw the first street ads for Apples MacBook's here in Latvia. I was kinda shocked and I also saw 2 new Apple official retailer stores (Look the same as Apples original stores) and I was pretty shocked about that too. I have never seen Apples Products suddenly appear everywhere (Every electronics store) here in Latvia, but suddenly today. Boom! And a LOT of them.

  • i think windows is dying but very slowly a lot of people are disappointed with vista and how bad it runs on their "windows vista capable" computers. But we are stuck with windows until more games and applications are supported on Mac's.

  • i agree windows is dying, i have vista and its so slow on boot up and shut down. also i have a question: i cant download service pack 1 on vista it keeps saying it has a problem, how can i fix this?

  • O, and don't forget Linux!!!!

  • I don't want to wait that too long.

  • Dude you got sick videos, But windows wont die until osx takes over. Which it wont unless prices are competitive. Thats how Apple will win.

    Cool video!

    R U really a soldier?

  • vista is only as bad as you want it to b

  • You make some good points here. I agree, windows will be here to stay. But it wont bother us mac users right? lol

  • Nice Video.

  • first comment! i hope windows is dying.... lol

  • I have windows XP. But im getting a macbook or pro pretty soon because i love Leoperd and apple macs Cuz No VIRUSES. Xp Fine VISTA SUCKS!
