Why Leopard is Better Than Vista

Apple's new operating system was launched on Oct 26, and in its first weekend, the company says it sold two million copies. A lot of people are now asking if they should ditch their PC for a new Mac. So is Leopard really better than Vista, and how?

Digital Journal -- Apple's newest operating system, Mac OS X Leopard, boasts 300 new features, a sleek design and a price point that seems almost too good to be true ($129).

Apple has earned quite a bit of media attention around the launch of the OS, thanks in part to strong brand recognition on the heels of strong iPod and computer sales.

And with Leopard, we're seeing a market where consumers who would traditionally not care about Mac, actually consider crossing over to the side with the big cat.

And why not? With a price point that is aggressive and approachable compared to Windows Vista, more features than you can shake an iPod at, and incredible function and ease of use, Leopard is becoming the new king of the jungle.

In this episode of Digital Journal TV, we break down the top features of Leopard and give you our top five reasons why Apple's newest OS is better than Windows Vista.

That's not true, my package manager on Gentoo Linux finds 1026 games.

Anyway, there is a thing called WINE, which can be installed WITHOUT any effort, which is basically a rebuild of the Winapi so that programs can use it. yeah, not every game runs with wine, some crash, but the majority like GTA SA runs even better than on Windows.

And '10 games' well, search for games in Android market, and those games use OpenGL and run on Linux, both opensource & neither from Micr nor Apple

Notice how, when he says, "tech world", he doesn't back it up with any specific websites or companies?

People these days are so stupid... Windows cannot be compared to Apple as Windows is an operating system, and Apple is a Company. You should really compare Windows with Mac OS X.

The true is that Steve jobs was the one that made Vista.

@snuhr In terms of a "new shell" i see what you mean, but you know as well as I do. there are many more differences, let alone new features. Way more support for drivers and programs. LTS for the OS ( i know a cheap shot but what ever) API support including backwards compatibility, that even Vista did not have, more efficient support for multicore programs, and regular tasks in the OS. And vista just looked like a polished turd, and i know you may not care but Win 7 is easier to use and im sorry

@blueguy09

I won't say I'm sorry

but it is, the only thing that 7 has and Vista does not are:

MinWin on the kernel level, .net 3.5 (which is not used by system anyway), tweaked DWM since on vista it lags with framerate drop down, and new File manager (explorer)/taskbar which is shell

now if we are done with insults I'd like to see what you can say as fact, what is there more to 7

(on the core level)

@snuhr Great comeback, Kudos. 7 is not vista with a new shell.
