    Gee... I already have most of those cool new features, and ever time my OS ships "The greatest upgrade ever", it costs me nothing... man, I love linux, and Ubuntu/Debian in particular.

    Yes, I use the best "tool" for the job.

    OS X sucks, the hardware is great though.

    I'm going to hang back on ordering this. It's a year late, and Apple still haven't managed to release the Gold Master to developers. My feeling is that in order to get it out on time it hasn't been as well tested as previous versions.

    I wouldn't exactly call this 'bashing'. More of a jab. With six version of Vista, MSFT pretty much walked into that punchline.

    His jabs are annoying, actually. Anyone who has a clue about the six versions of Vista is more than aware of the situation with OSX. This is just meat for the fans.

    Also, we can see now that OSX expands, it starts to "grow" multiple versions of itself too:

    - OSX Desktop - $129 (upgrade)
    - OSX Server 10 clients max - $499
    - OSX Server unlimited clients - $999

    What is with the "10 clients max"? Artificial limitation, the very thing he mocks Windows about.

    Or can we actually expect a good product from Apple for the first time? Given Apple's track record, I'm going to guess this is probably terrible and full of security holes. Great job JOBS! Only idiots and fan-boys buy apple computers --

    How dare MSFT let people choose to not pay for features they don't want! The bastards!
