nerds and Mac os vs Vista....how boring and useless

Just reading iWoz book by Steve Wozniak - creator of the first personal computer ever - Apple I. Well of the programs he wrote for Apple I and Apple II were made on Basic - made by Bill Gates...cool ha?

Well according to Gates insinuations, his chief developer would say that Apple stole all that from Vista......... :roll:
If you’re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it’s fascinating, maybe we shouldn't have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done.
Are you getting the "Wow"?
I am, as in Wow? what total BS? :twisted:

Essentially, someone has lifted the speech originally made by Gates (regarding Vista) and applied it to a video of someone using OSX. The point they are making is that the fundamental features of Vista, in Bill's opinion at least, have been available for OSX 10.4 for some time now.

Actually who really cares is a different story, I certainly don't. I'm happy using using OSX, and if Vista is better then I'll just install it on my Mac, though I doubt it will be.

I kind of love this sort of thing actually. Here's Bills' development guy avoiding the question entirely in this interview!
Steward Hardt, a software consultant from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., asks how you respond to comments that many of the new features in Vista are already in other operating systems, like Mac OS X? With Mac OS X coming out more often, isn't Microsoft just always playing catch up?
Allchin: There are a number of differences between the Apple approach and the Microsoft approach. First and foremost is we view ourselves as a platform working with many partners. And by that I mean that the breadth of applications that we have on Windows is just unsurpassed. I just don't anticipate that changing, where if you have a particular specialty and you want an application, then an application is going to be available on Windows.

In the business space I think what we're offering with Windows Vista surpassed anything that's available with other operating systems, especially in the mobile space. I don't think Apple has a system that is as comprehensive addressing the control that IT professionals want.

Even in the home space, I think our gaming capability is far superior. And then, just in terms of our pushing ahead, in terms of innovation, the Media Center work we've done and integrating TV--I think that's tremendous innovation. I think the work we've done with Tablet and handwriting recognition--I don't think Apple has any products in that space. So I think Apple is a very good company (with) great products. I think we're making some incredible products and we're bringing a lot to the masses for them to feel that they're getting a lot for their money.
Gates states Allchin would disagree in regards to GUI theft etc. but of course Allchin simply avoids the question entirely. :lol:

That dude is a drinking game.

Have a shot each time he says "i think".

He's one paragraph away from saying "think different".
