Windows Vista and XP Head To Head

Posted by kdawson on from the who's-the-fairest-of-them-all dept.

thefickler sends in an article comparing Windows Vista and Windows XP in the areas of security, home entertainment, GUI, parental controls, and networking. The author clearly believes that Vista wins across these categories.

    The author clearly believes that Vista wins across these categories.

    So this article was planted by Microsoft then? Or is that what the submittor want us to believe?

      That is how it is worded and what it sounds like. It sounds like the author is saying that Apple saw, or was inspired by, Vista before Vista came out. I suppose it would be Longhorn that inspired Apple's interface, or so it is implied by the author.

      Not to mention that it is a poor imitation of Gnome/Aqua/KDE This is a joke right? Gnome and KDE (Not Aqua of course) are the most ugly non-streamlined GUI's available. I think anyone that actually thinks the gnome or kde desktop look nice seriously need their eyes tested!!!

    What's with all these Vista news? I guess even Slashdot has become a marketing outlet for Da Man. Who gets to choose these stories?
