Windows Vista vs. Mac OS X Leopard feature comparison

You know, Vista is crap and Leopard rulez....
Well, at least, that's what people tell you.

They also try to convince you that XP is better than Vista. But is that true?

Certainly not. Just like Leopard is better than Tiger, Vista is better than XP. You'll understand why by watching this video.

Based on Apple's video tour of Mac OS X Leopard, I'll show you what things are really like.

In fact, Leopard and Vista have far less differences that you would expect.

Watch the whole video to find out why!

See a HQ version of this at: http://www.viddler.com/explore/drphysx/videos/1/

Also, you'll perhaps think that some of the features of the audio commentary are not shown. Well, this is not because Vista has less of them, it's just because it was not that easy to show them together with John's commentary (e.g. you can create toolbars/"stacks" at any screen edge or directly on the desktop, too or you can set any scheduling for Backup/Restore Center or you can also watch videos in Vista Photo-Gallery just like you do in Quickview and so on... There are also other great things like sort/group/stack by in Explorer that Leopard doesn't have... Or things like Spaces that Vista doesn't have natively built-in).

Does anyone who has commented on this know anything about macs? THIS IS VISTA!!!! Leopard looks nothing like this. You can even see the windows button in the top left! And whoever said that Rosetta supports OS 9 applications is totally wrong - 'Classic' supports OS 9 applications. 'Rosetta' supports PowerPC emulation on Intel Macs.

This is intended to be Vista :D

I find it really funny how some people can not even distinguish Vista from OS X :D

Actually this video was to show how Vista can do the same things that Apple introduced in OS X Leopard.

aaah... i see. Sorry - blond moment for a second there. ya apple probably have stolen about as much from other people as microsoft has from them.... OS X is based on NeXT's OS anyway isn't is so they can't claim ownership of every innovation

[drphysx]

However, NeXT was Steve Jobs' company, so he can claim ownership of OS X :)

You seem to know a lot about computers :)

There's so many people out there taking part in that ridiculous OS X vs. Windows war despite they don't know anything about computers and the history of MSFT and Apple.

*sigh* just crying fanboys, ignore them

Xerox was the one who came up with all these ideas, way before Apple and Microsoft were even around, followed by allot of others like GEM etc

Microsoft, and Apple just were better at business

[JamesManes]

Xerox deserved to die. They made these things and had no plans to use them.
