I agree with fcommmisso all the way. Also Steve is pretty good at marketing. Also in his keynotes since when have I ever seen him predict bullshit like Bill Gates does or let someone else do his keynotes, except for when he was fired and having surgery for the iMac G5 introduction..
WinHEC makes me fall asleep...why aren't people cheering and laughing at jokes like in the Steve Jobs' presentations? it seems people are not excited at all about the new windows OS, I think it looks great and has a lot of eye candy just like mac, it's just so dull to look at this presentation...
For any of the Mac-bigots, Gadgets/Widgets first came from Stardock, not Apple. Secondly, I DARE you to show me one complete lift from OS-X to Vista. You won't find one, with the obvious exception of the wastebasket/recycle bin, which was already thrown-out with Apple's idiotically-stupid "look-and-feel" lawsuit.
Oh, btw - my service packs & updates to Vista, like with previous versions of Windows, is FREE - how many times will Apple RAPE you and how much will it cost you to upgrade? LOL
i cant believe they spend time showing you what is basicly a weather widgit on osx and then rant on about the new york times site ant the fact the site was built to scale to the window its noting new most sites do that an whats that got to do with vista!
thats a ridiculous statement seeing windows hasnt seen a decent facelift in over 10 years. that and the fact you have no clue how much time has been dedicated to the software (non graphical) aspect

Windows Vista really does suck! It's just a rip-off.

Umm how about when Apple stole the same thing from Xerox?
TekSomniaK 5 years ago
no, xerox gave it to them, but it was just a rough prototype, apple improved it, microsoft just stole it and ruined it
ckotecky 5 years ago
Apple did not steal Xerox: it was a pre-IPO stock shares exchanged for a 3-day Xerox trip, an agreement basically.

yeah widgets have been the coolest for years - you don't have to start any programs, just have the widgets hang out on the desktop.

Actually, Gadgets first appeared on the scene courtesy of the fine folks at Stardock, not Apple. Who's spreadling LIES now, moron?

How did they let you in with a camera for all this Vista stuff? Vista is focusing too much on graphics imo.
