Following on........

We had the pleasure of having a great friend around for the recent super bowl festivities last Sunday and in chatting as you do, we got around to discussing my great passion of "panoramic pictures" and a piece of software that has been around for some time by the name of PTGui a graphical interface for stitching panorama pictures together. Although the conversation was great, the following demonstration I got from Jay was outstanding.


I am a confirmed Mac nut, but after Jay down loaded the PTGui application and ran it in a demo version of Windows 7 beta build (albeit on a Lenovo W700 laptop....nice piece of kit!!) and .........WOW, the speed of application was phenomenal and I'm told that this version of Windows is not yet optimised ......so how good will it be when it is a full production build, I ask?....or was it the phenomenal computing power of the Lenovo W700!!


As I said I am a confirmed Mac nut, but since Apple decided to adopt the Intel processing chip in place of its previous RISK processor, I can only think that maybe Microsoft has closed the gap in its operating system against the Mac OS.


Please see Jay's blog at http://blog.mir.net/ for his take on PTGui and let's hear your thoughts on the Mac vs Windows OS debate
