here are some of the features found in windows vista ultimate edition. most of the features that are business orientated are not found in Mac OS X. that is from "Support for two physical CPUs" to the end. note i said some not all. of course Mac OS X has some features that vista doesn't have. but so you know that windows vista is not as featureless as James seems to keep on ranting.
