Leopard: New Mac = faster, Old Mac = faster
Vista: New PC = slower, Old PC = x_x
I don’t know what ms is thinking these days - I like Windows and Mac OS, but Vista is really a big disappointment, it’s just not well thought out in so many ways.
I have a Vista machine here – omg I hate it.
And… I got a cold call from Microsoft sales today, thanking me for my commitment to Microsoft. (Did they pull out his nails to make him say that???)
If anyone on Earth thinks Vista is a good idea, please reconsider this tragic error.
But it has shiny glowing maximize buttons! But… but… ok.

Apple development = revolutionary
M$oft development = reactionary
It’s always been this way, the release of Vista hasn’t changed a thing.
Hardly surprising since most reviewers thought Tiger already ate Vista.
It’s funny though, on my old PC I never would have upgraded to Vista. I would have kept XP until I died. Since I bought my mac, I spent $200 on Vista for Boot Camp 
You win again Gates!
I’d hardly call apple’s development revolutionary today. Maybe back before windows existed they were a bit revolutionary. They are very good at taking things that already exist and making them better though.
Definitely an over generalization, and yes I’m talking about past as well as recent history. If you add Linux and the community that develops it to the comparison, then Linux IMHO is the most revolutionary OS of the three, and Vista the least.
But hey, that and three dollars-fifty will buy you a cup of joe. :lol:
I like to think of the difference between the two as being user requirements analysis paradigms rather than a technology rift.
I can look at most Apple products and see embodied a careful response to a clearly identified user requirement, aimed specifically at their target markets - although I’ve not read up on Apple’s product development methodologies it seems as though sympathetic user analysis is an integral part of the development cycle.
I suspect for reasons not unrelated to their (critical) mass, I rarely see the same in an MS product. In fact, I can recall many “innovations” from MS in the last 10 years that have left me scratching my head thinking, “And what user problem did that help solve?” I’ll be using my cute mini three button Apple remote control tonight to watch a movie and perhaps play some music. As I do, over on the other side of the room tucked away in a dusty box with my SCSI devices is the MS media centre remote. I still don’t know what half of the 20 or so buttons on the MS remote are supposed to do although I’m pretty sure it has something to do with air traffic control. Im too scared to touch it. I have genuine fears that if I ever do airports will close.
Anyway, in case you missed this one here’s another entertaining online advert from you know who.
