Re: Leopard looks like … Vista !!!

4. 64-bitness: Leopard is the first 64-bit only version of a desktop client. Vista comes in 32-bit and 64-bit varieties. And most expect Windows Seven will still be available in 32-bit flavors. Until 32-bit machines go away, it seems like a good idea to offer 32-bit operating systems.
When entering into 21st century, apple started leaving the 32-bit computing behind. Also, the first apple computer to move to Intel platform moved to 64-bit. So, why in the world would they even want to make a 32-bit OS? Apple don't consider PC users as their customers whereas windows has to work with a PC that is couple of years old. Chances are very high of it being 32-bit.
Also, Apple users mostly use apple's softwares so problem of 32-bit to 64-bit transition wasn't as high as in case of windows, where lots of 3rd party software is used.

6. Boot Camp. You can run Vista on your Mac. Apple showed Vista running Solitaire in its WWDC demo. But I bet those downloading the 2.5 million copies of Boot Camp available since last year are running a lot of other Windows business apps and games.
As harsh said, they had to demo that vista works. So, that's what they demo'ed. Why should they be wasting time demo'ing 1000 softwares on a competing OS?

7. Spaces: A feature allowing users to group applications into separate spaces. I haven’t seen anything like in in Vista, but the audience didn’t seem overly impressed by it.
Well, we linux users have been using something similar called workspaces since ages and have been very much fond of it. I just can't live without 4 workspaces now or else my whole 'task bar' is cluttered. Looks like someone so something that went over their head.

8. Dashboard with widgets. Isn’t this like the Vista Sidebar with gadgets?
yeah right but the only problem is just that vista was lauched a decade too late.


I have to agree with harsh here. This is one person who doesn't know what (s)he is writing about. Why should one respect such an author or their fables

So, if something is true & pwns Mac OS X by telling the truth. It is sarcasm :-?
I was talking about pathiks' post.

The original article had nothing to do with sarcasm - it was the sheer height of stupidity and ignorance.

Apple moved to Intel CPU's with Core duo not core 2 duo. Core Duo is not 64bit.

I think you forgot to see the WWDC Video in which boot camp was unable to run Vista Aero :D. I wonder if they were running it on "the fastest mac"

This we all know Apple copied from Linux.

Take a look at when Konfabulater (now yahoo widgets) was released

She is ignorant in many things, yes.

Oh, just something I found on Joy of tech. What happened to Steve Jobs & Why leopard has no compelling features

Which WWDC are you talking about?

WWDC 2007. When Jobs demonstrated the Boot Camp demo, he showed Vista running Solitaire but without Vista Aero. It was running Windows Standard theme.

I wonder why Jobs was shy of showing Vista with Aero or is it that Mac Hardware is incapable of running Vista in its full glory. He was working on an iMac, which was not running Boot camp without Aero.

well if he wasnt showing vista aero then certainly its not capable coz the aero is something ms has been promoting and if macs were capable of aero then it would have been another usp but alas ... this wasnt the case to be ...

Nutters. I have been using Vista with Aero enabled since day one. It was supported even before Boot Camp officially supported Vista.

^^^ no it doesn't:D. if Aero was supported on Mac then El Jobso would have shown it & said "look, we even have Aero"...I mean transparent menubar.

We know that Aero is supported, but the question is why didn't jobs demonstrated Vista the way it was meant to be demonstrated?. oh well...what can you expect from Apple which always downplays its lifeline

A good businessman will only show as much of competitor's product to attract the users to his products and not to flock them to the competitor.
What he wants to show is that vista works and is usable. He proved it period
He doesn't have to show-off the capabilites of vista

Don't you get bored using the exact same phrases over and over again, hammering them on and on whenever and wherever it is even remotely possible! Your posts are incredibly boring, very repetitive and poorly written and spelled. Ho hum.

Your explanation is correct, of course but I doubt anyone would "flock" to Vista after having seen a full blown demo of Leopard only because it has a transparent taskbar and start menu. LOL! :p

^^ ya rite as if leopard has something that vista doesnt :D

furthering mehul's point the move to enable wndows on macs is i think more for windows ppl buy to apple hardware its got partially to do with leopard though jobs is hoping tht once he sells macs to windows users under the pretext tht they can run windows on it they might find os x to be better but unfortunately unless basics like cut are not resolved os x is not good enough for a switch

What's with you and the cut option? Its such a tiny little so called shortcoming of Finder. But the way you keep posting about makes it look like that's the only one you've found in OS X...

well i have found a couple of more but this 1s the most stupid of them ... just coz jobs cant cut hair on his head he isnt allowing us to cut files/folders on our comps :D

I dont understand wht is ur problem...I have always seen such rude statements from ur side when it comes MAC Vs Windows. It is truely said
"A apple user automatically becomes their sales man."
Those threads are always meaningless, no fruit ..

Arey, just read this article will you? You find it good? I mean, if someone who's actually used a mac would have written against it, it'd have owned Macs better. She's just finding similarities and pointing out lame things. See the article rating on the site too if you care to .. rather than just say that am rude.
