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. "

    If you're using MS Windows in 2006 then you are an idiot and you deserve to be talked down to by Apple.

    If you're looking at next-generation Core-architecture computers and you're willing to go with Microsoft for yet another generation of systems then you are an idiot and you deserve to be talked down to by Apple.

    There are more viruses for MS Windows than ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS EVERY WRITTEN FOR ALL PLATFORMS.

    It would be patronizing for Apple to pretend that there isn't a HUGE MASSIVE SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE PC INDUSTRY.

    It would be bad business for Apple to spend the last 10 years making an OS for the 21st century and then just let Microsoft pretend that XP SP3 is the same damn thing.
