Windows "I have been using Mac OS X as my primary OS for almost a year now, but last night I switched back. What spurred it is that my Mac OS X partition crashed and it wouldn't boot back into the OS - I used rescue tools and drive scanners but it appears that the partition just disappeared. I booted into a much smaller NTFS partition and put the Vista install disk in."

You had an unrecoverable error on OSX so you decided to use Vista? I'm thinking that dropping a few hundred on Vista is kinda pricey to just "try" it. Glad you had a copy floating around.

It's certainly interesting to see the switchers going from one to the other and vice versa. One way or another, they all sound the same telling us how pretty and how fast thier new favorite OS is and then the great built apps are that come with it.

My guess is he already had Vista and was using a BETA disk partitioning utility (BootCamp, as he mentions it in the article), getting ready to install it anyway. This has nothing to do with OS X directly and Apple warns the user about using BootCamp.
