Windows vs. Mac

When thinking of Mac vs. Windows, you might think of how bad Vista was, how funny those PC Mac commercials are, or how Macs never get viruses. Whatever you might think, its likely about how Mac is better. And when Windows 7 comes out in a few days, is there any way it will be able to recover from the hole it dug itself into with Vista?
In case you've been in the stone age for the past few years, the last windows operating system, Vista, was met with terrible reviews. While Apple has been steadily improving its computers, Windows has had a bumpy ride. So that begs the question: even if Windows 7 is the best one yet, will it be able to compete with Mac? Or is the public perception of Windows already so low compared to Apple that it would take years to recover? But the fact is, the general opinion surrounding the new Windows release are very optimistic. It has gotten great reviews, although it still seems to be in the shadow of Vista's failure, always being compared to its predecessor. So, even if it is a very good operating system, will Windows 7 be able to compete with the likes of Leopard, the current Mac operating system, or will it forever be doomed to be in Vista's shadow?

As a owner of both a Mac and a PC. The Mac is for sure the better of the two as of now. And I am planning on getting the new version of windows. But as of now the general public has their own views. And majority of them believe that the PCs are the ones with the problems and that are much slower and have virus's left and right. And that Macs fun faster better smarter and have all the same things and run them better.

My Favorite Blog Post

My favorite blog post this quarter (surprisingly), was my personal analysis of my bad blogging habits. Partially because it was the only choice I had. But mostly because it epitomizes what we should be doing as american studies students, bloggers, and citizens of the community: thinking critically about WHY something happened. I think this represents my growth as a student and an individual: at the beginning of the year, I would have made excuses or ignored the problems I had. I can tell you this is true, because that is exactly what I did at the end of first quarter, when I had exactly two blogs. Now that I have had time to develop as a student, I have learned to look critically at my problems and learn a lesson from them. There's no escaping the crummy job I did at blogging this quarter. I deserve whatever bad grade you are going to give me for my lackluster effort. But the lesson I have learned as a result of my failure shows just how much I have learned as a student in American Studies. This isn't about memorizing all the presidents of the United States, or being able to recite all the key points of EAA. This is being able to go forth in the world and look critically at the actions of myself and others, and learn from these actions. And this lesson is more important that any APs on my transcript, or GPAs or ACTs or AP Tests scores. This is a lesson I can carry forward with me through the rest of my life in high school, college, and the world. And that represents the true depth of learning that has taken place in me from the moment I stepped into room 467 on a hot august afternoon to the brutal days of summer that I come to class in now, as a true American Studies student.
