This bitching war is getting a little out of hand. In the end we all choose our platforms because of taste or circumstance.

The Creatives choose Macs because they don’t want to be distracted by long winded interfaces. Gamers choose Windows because there’s better support and more games. Business users have too much invested to choose any other platform than the one they are already using.

Does it really matter if one copies the other? Without this would either side find a better way to do things? Give me inspiration over innovation any day.

In the end many prefer Apple because they find simple ways to do difficult things. Microsoft has this skill to learn but at last we have some healthy competition on all sides.

It doesn’t matter where a technology or an idea comes from. The end result is what really matters… and that’s simply down to taste.

So Mr. Gates, we’ll give you back your teddy if you’ll stop telling fibs and learn to sell your products in a more honest way. You know Vista will sell anyway, many don’t have a choice. There’s no need to tell lies.

Bill Gates has adopted the neocon mentality — always insist that your own fantasy is reality and claim everyone else is crazy. Can’t wait for YoViB, the Year of Vista Bugs….

I totally agree with you. Earlier after i read this article, i almost fell out of my chair with disbelief. The part where he says that Vista has improved their security, and Apple has done absolutely nothing. Well last time I checked, Apple was the one who has absolutely no viruses, unlike Windows with over 110,000 different ones.
