By that logic, I guess I was a fool for upgrading to Leopard.

 

Let's see how far that comment flies here...

 

There is a difference between a school use compy and a non-school use one. Average students don't care; they still get to the same internet.

And Leopard is actually faster that Tiger...

Why would a school pay that much money for slower performance and (in that case) unnecessary upgrades?

What they need is better admins that would use linux. Although xp is definitely the most standardized.

Both of the higher education facilities I've been to have Pentium D's or Athlon X2's with 2GB of RAM standard in computing laboratories. Of course, the clubs and libraries have the hand-me-down Pentium 4's and such, but for the most part, almost all the systems were very recent.

 

That being said, on the newer hardware, Vista is faster than XP. Before you attack me: I said NEWER hardware. Newer software takes advantage of newer hardware better. World of Warcraft loads instantly on my Vista system thanks to that caching thing they came up with, and my 64-bit Vista gaming machine tears through Crysis when others are struggling with the same hardware I have on 32-bit XP. This holds the same with Tiger->Leopard; Leopard screams on a new MBP but try it on a G4...

 

I don't think it's a Microsoft issue. I think it's the EU lagging behind in technology (as usual).

I was a fool for upgrading to Leopard, also.

 

At this point, I'd take tiger over leopard.

 

In fact, the contact center for Apple Care that I was working in downgraded back to Tiger because of performance issues with all the Mac Minis, iMacs, etc. (none were PPC, by the way)
