Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the does-it-really-matter dept.

torrensmith writes "Paul Thurrott attacks the Apple Mac OS X Leopard Preview. He does have a few kind words for Apple and its leader Steve Jobs ("They do good work. It's too bad they feel the need to exaggerate so much.", but overall, he rips apart Apple for mimicking Vista, even going so far as to call the Apple fascination with Vista "childish." Paul does include a healthy review of the latest Leopard features, but quickly returned to his bashing of Apple. "

    Apple hasn't stolen Clippy yet. Well, I'm sure they've taken him, but they can't perfect him... it's just so goddamn hard to make something THAT annoying.

    Guys,

    Why blast Vista? It is going to full of technological
    breakthroughs and really is not that far behind schedule.
    I hear it's going to be shipped any day now.

    "And I suppose David was an asshole for standing up to Goliath?"

    Well, speaking as a Philistine I do think peoples' view of that confrontation have been rather one-sided.

    What? Now they're pulling bread slicing too? That was the only reason I wanted Vista!
