#1 How's Vista's speed in comparison to Leopard.
#2 How fast can you make the switch to bootcamp then back to Leopard?
#3 Can you keep an applications open in both OS's when you switch back and forth?

#1) Speed is equal with both OS
#2) Switching via bootcamp require a reboot of the computer to run the other OS.
#3) Answer to number 2 should answer number 3, you can't as you have to reboot to switch OS.

I am considering getting a I Mac for my office and am concern about integrating a email program with my other computers that are PC based. In particular I want to transfer the existing/old email from outlook.
I like to keep all my sent emails as well as most incoming email, this results in a lot of data, which program can best accommodate these large data files?

With regard to my sisters computer, I want to let her select the email program and was looking for direction on what to suggest.

I use Entourage and it is pretty much the same as Outlook. I prefer it over iCalendar and Apple Mail. Sending emails are automatically linked to the contact file, not to mention linking other Word/Excel files related to the contact. Its Project Management features also allow you to link all appointments, contacts, to do lists, and notes.

I don't remember having problems migrating my Outlook files when I switched to Macs in 2004.

Don't do it, Macs suck.


Hey look what GOOGLE can do on the first shot:

OK Here's something i don't like right off the bat.

The blue-gray folders are nearly identical looking; it’s no longer easy to distinguish Movies from Documents or Pictures with a quick glance.
Bad decision.

It appears you can change the folders one at a time, as you could in previous OS X releases. But changing the default folders takes much more work and help from a third party.
