Apple's Missed Opportunity With Leopard Delay

An anonymous reader writes "According to an article on OSWeekly.com, Apple missed a big opportunity by not releasing Leopard soon. They could've taken advantage of Vista's losing streak and one upped Microsoft, the author suggests. 'It's not uncommon for Windows users and technology consumers in general to say that Microsoft missed out on making the most of Vista both before and after its launch. Longtime fans of Windows have changed their tone due to Vista's inadequacies, and regular users are in many cases stuck with trying to figure out why they still can't get certain things to work within the operating system. Granted, it's not a completely horrific OS, but is that even a compliment worth accepting?'"

But is there really a Win VS Mac article that...

...isn't a troll?

Until Apple opens up its OS to be at least on the level that Windows is (you don't get much more closed source then hardware pre-requisite) it is not a competition.
Or even a valid comparison.

Apple fanboys will buy and use Apple if it required them to install a rectal probe so it would work. For them there is no choice.

And most of the "switchers" will not switch to Macs - they will switch to Linux. Unless they are rich, arrogant and stupid enough to throw away a working computer because they are not satisfied with the OS installed.
Or if we are talking just about dissatisfaction with Vista - they will switch back to XP.

Saying something-something about the new OSX influences Windows users in any way is like saying that the increasing number of sharks in the oceans influences the world's mice population.
Two completely different ecosystems with no direct influence from one to another.
