Leopard vs. Vista

Llasus

Found an article about the recently released Leopard versus Vista. Leopard won in the end though. Meow! *oops, i mean GROWL!

Only if you have a mac to run it on.

Comparing Vista to Leopard is beyond pointless. 99% of the computer users out in the real world can't run Leopard, only 75% of those can run Vista, and only 3% of those really want to. 99% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Nothing like an unbiased opinion. "Green indicates a category with more and/or better features, and generally a better user experience. Red indicates that a category not quite up to snuff" So why isn't Safari red? And QuickTime - not a deep, bloody shade of crimson? Pah. I'd also like to see a line item: "Must eject external storage devices before unplugging otherwise the OS has a hissy fit".

Yeah, but Vista won in Networking and Connectivity, Security, Gaming, Performance and Hardware and Business. People don't seem to like Vista because they won't take the time to learn how to use it. :zzz:

:laugh: I flinch every time I get that ghastly big red error message. On Windows I never used to care but on OS X I have become a sheep and dutifully eject volumes before unplugging the device. Doesn't seem to make much difference though. When I accidentally remove before unmounting nothing is damaged/lost and no Ethiopian children die because of it.

I use Tiger and will probably upgrade to Leopard in a few weeks time but man, that is the stupidest comparison this side of Air vs. Water, Which Do You Prefer? (No offense meant to you. All offense meant at the comparison.)

I included a line in my post that illustrates the absurdity of statistics.

Yes, I know. I still dispute your made up figures. ;)

I don't dispute your dispution. Dynamically denigrating dalliances describing dastardly damnations doling deliberate disrespect directly downstream, dullards don't deny derailed discussions destroy dangerous dins deliriously designed during debated deliberations. (I temporarily fell in love with words that start with the letter "D".)

But soon people will. Most of us are just like robots. Saying yes to what they give to us.

bah. Fire actually does something. Dirt just sits around being filthy.

Why not? You have to learn to tie your shoes, drive a car, stay out of jail (:laugh:), etc. Nothing is a given. And you don't wake up one day and say, gee I think I'll write a couple hundred lines of code if you've never done it. You have to learn how. I don't know maybe I'm wrong but nothing is ever a given.

Because Windows XP worked just fine.
