Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-holds-barred dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With Macworld set to start Jan. 8, InformationWeek has a detailed comparison that pits Mac OS X against Vista. According to reviewer John Welch, OS X wins hands down. The important point: he doesn't say Vista is bad, just that technically speaking, OS X remains way ahead. Do you agree?"

    Isn't this strange. Why don't they wait for the just-around-the-corner Leopard to compare with Vista. At least they would be comparing apple with oranges instead of pineapples and watermelons! ;-)

    f you believe all the hype, installing the new Windows Vista operating system will solve world famine, end the AIDS crisis and bring about world peace.

    If those windows zombie botnets were used for scientific work instead of sending spam I'm sure it would in fact have a positive impact.

    Now, last I checked I breathe air, produce sperm which contain human genetic codes, and am also in an intimate relationship with a human so I'm pretty sure I'm a person. I can test that. It'll only take a minute; I have the gom jabbar right here.

    First you have to go into the Keyboard & Mouse preferences and select the full keyboard access for "All controls".
    With an onerous requirement like that, I can see how it's a complete non-starter.
