Ground Rules for the Windows vs. Mac War

FreshlyShornBalls writes "The New York Times is running a story that I think needs to be seen by everyone on both sides of the on-going Macintosh vs. Windows debate (i.e. just about everyone who posts on Slashdot): Some ground rules for the Windows vs. Mac War." From the article: "Last week, I wrote about some of the changes Microsoft has in store for the next version of Windows, which is slated for the end of 2006. Interestingly, very few of you responded to that column, probably because so much may change in the next 19 months. But a few of you fired off diatribes about how I'm either a Microsoft 'shill' or an Apple 'apologist' (or maybe it was the other way around). It's not just me, either; it's a running sardonic joke among tech columnists that you can't even USE the word 'Apple' or 'Microsoft' without getting hate mail from somebody or other."

MAybe the first thing to establish is not to comapare something available now with something promised (and subject to change WinFS anyone) in the far future.

19 Month is a lifetime is IT, so STFU

Ground Rules for the Windows-Macintosh War By DAVID POGUE

Ok - stopped reading already. It'd David f-ing Pogue. This guy's as much of a moron as John Dvorak. Try reading one of his gadget articles sometime -- you'll die from the smack to the forehead you give yourself.

You forgot that OOO doesn't run on osx but does

Run on Linux!

Such a simple fact make Linux a better runner than OSX.

Beside, OSX is slow!
