Leopard as the New Vista?

ninja_assault_kitten writes "There's an interesting rant from Oliver Rist up on the PC Magazine site. He compares the catastrophe that is Vista to the recently released OS X Leopard. While clearly one is a lion and the other a cub, there do appear to be some frustrating similarities. From the article: 'A month of using Leopard with the same software I had under Tiger and the OS has dumped six times. That's six cold reboots for Oliver. Apple isn't even honest enough to admit that Leopard is crashing: The OS just grays out my desktop and pops up a dialog box telling me I've got to reboot. Like the whole thing is my fault. I even snapped a picture of it. After all, I HAD PLENTY OF CHANCES!'"

That still doesn't address the privacy concerns, and there's also a plethora of applications that are as/more power hungry than gaming. That aside, why on earth would I want to spend $200-600 at once to play every game for a specific system instead of spending $50-100 only when I find a game I like that I can't play?
And I'm sure the companies providing access to these servers would find as many ways to nickel and dime the users as possible.
