http://www.apple.com/aperture/ "Aperture" is Apple's latest entry into the still image editing software field. To the best of my knowledge, it's not intended to compete with "Photoshop" directly, but rather to be the Apple version of "Adobe Lightroom". Or vice-versa, since I've forgotten which was released first.

Yeah normally I prefer to remain on only one Operating System because one is largely enough but I heard a lot of good thing about Mac OS X and that make me wanted to test it but if you ask me that Mac uses Adobe for there image and color management system then I think remaining on only Vista is ok for me as it works fine for me even that i'm on a 1GB RAM, but will upgrade it after.

Have you already used Mac OS X?

Ok I see... So it will not make a big difference if I remain to Vista.

I think trying to avoid a RAM upgrade via a change of OS, is simply not a good, sound idea. Even in your location you should be able find suitable RAM at a reasonable price. The money you spend will be compensated for by less confusion and aggravation in your daily computing activities. I always recommend "Adobe Photoshop Elements" for even fairly advanced photo editing. It's $100.00 @ full retail, and the best buy in the industry. It's actually a slightly crippled version of Photoshop which can be made even more functional by way of free plug-ins available around the web.

Yeah after reflection now I found that it is better to upgrade my RAM than changing OS.

What OS do you use?

I have XP in all my machines, 2 purchased, and 1 homebuilt.
I've had Ubuntu 7.0 installed, but I sort of lost interest in it, since all my heavy use programs are Windows only. Running the Linux seemed like just a novelty to me, I'm sure that others feel differently

Nice one... Xp is very nice and well appreciated

All that depends on people and what they think and like. Me I like XP very much for the style and mainly for it superb performance but also Vista due to its beautiful style and for some programs too(I know I can also have them on XP with some tweaking "but it will not be the same). After making some tweaking from a blog site I found that Vista is very fluid and rapid and I have only done 85% of the guide, some I prefer to do it after.

Hoping that Windows 7 will be more superb in terms of performance as lot of people can't use Vista.

When I found people asking bad thing about Vista I found that very bad as everyone want to have more modern thing and everyone know that more modern we go more power is needed as for example if the take a 21" Normal TV it will take less power but it will not all the options and beauty of a Full HD Flat TV. So it is the same for Computer and OS so I think that we don't need to blame Microsoft and Windows Vista for that as they are making it better for people. Also look a Win 98 and now with XP & Vista even a blind or semi blind person will be able to use the PC now whereas with Win 98 it wasn't possible so stop blaming for all that.

As for What do you use: Linux / Mac / Win?
My answer is Win on one computer and the other 2 experimental computers One has Win Me the other has fedora 8. (Linux)

I was thinking to put linux on one of my old PC to test how it is, but I don't know which Linux should I choose.

Can someone help about that plz?

Ama, since it is an old PC, I would use Xubuntu, which is a leaner version of Ubuntu and works well on systems that don't have as much power, memory, or are older systems. Xubuntu is a fun Linux OS and I think you'll enjoy it.

Ok thanks will get a try!!!

Windows Vista for desktop, XP and Linux (openSUSE 11.0 currently) for my laptop.

I try Xbuntu but don't like it too much it was unable to configure and found a driver for my USB Wireless 812b/g adapter so making me not having any access on my old computer also I don't have network between the two by cable that was a little annoying so will continue using Windows XP SP2 on it.

I got rid of kubuntu, and am now dual-booting Xp sp3 and vista home basic sp1.

I use Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop for classes, I use Xp on my home PC for games and ease of use for the other people in the house. I use Xp at work to help the people here with their work and to get around the desktop. I would use vista but have no real reason to upgrade.

I boot VIsta, XP, Mandriva 2008.1. In labs we have Windows server 2008 and 2003 as well as Fedora 9.

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (media/internet/everything else rig)
Windows XP Professional SP3 (school rig)
Ubuntu 8.04 for writing code in Python

I use Mac OSX Leopard for day to day use on my Macbook.

I use Debian as my linux distro on my Inspiron 9100 (set it up as a www/ftp server)

I use WindowsXP SP3 for some gaming.. via Bootcamp on my Mac... (Cause Red Alert 3 came out)

I use Linux primarily but have to keep MS OS's due to my clients demands and so I can stay current. To do the the type of work I do I need to be proficient in all major systems and programs.

In a sad and unfortunate twist of fate, I also use Micro$haft Windows...

I have tried Ubuntu and will install it someday whenever I upgrade my computer as a whole. Maybe quad-boot with a 500 GB or higher HDD, but I'm using 250 GB right now, so I tri-boot Win 98 SE / Win 2000 Server / Win XP SP3. I also have a iMac PowerPC G4/700 that I'm dual-booting both Jaguar (10.2.8) and Panther (10.3.9) of which I work on XCode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I'm picking up on Objective-C programming, so that will allow me to learn the language all over again. That usually keeps me busy during the day.
