- First off, With any new software "Vista," There will be problems. Everything is now compatible with it and I have had it for 9 months, with 64 bit and no problems. Thats why there are service packs and updates. Unlike Leopard, MAC didnt change any thing, they just added crap. Vista is a whole new operating system. Yes it is slower than XP, and annoying popups, but hey, guess what. that all can be turned off by the user. So before people start complaining, they need figure out what they are using. Secondly, The Iphone is garbage, however you look at it. Not worth the money and people should have not tried to hack it. It is their Hardware, why would they want people to hack it. They can do what they want. They own the product.
