Windows Vista vs. Mac OS X

So the day has finally come where people are buying computers left right and center. I go to an electronics store these days and see old and young people buying new computers.

Some of the people I see are buying computers with Windows Vista already installed.
Some of the people I see are buying computers with Mac OS X.... already installed. Some of the people I saw will have problems with their machines running Vista. Some of those people running Vista will destroy their iPods and can't find drivers. Some of the people I saw will not have any problems running OS X on their machines.

But it's not all about the problems for me. It's the lingo and the attitude of Microsoft'ers. Apple had added something they called a "dashboard" which contained "widgets". Microsoft has added something they call a "gadget".

Who do they think they are changing the lingo, that's been orbiting the earth since Apple released the OS update which included the "dashboard" feature?
It's a "widget" not a frickin' "gadget"!


But that isn't all, Microsoft (Mr Gates) actually has a "press conference" to tell the world that rival software developers have been copying Vista ("Windows Longhorn"). What a joke.
I wonder if Bill and his co workers actualy looked at iTunes for "a little inspiration" before making their new Windows Media Player, which is almost identical to iTunes apart from the ugly Vista skin they put in there.

I can just see Mr Gates sitting at his laptop on MSN talking to his fellow Microsoft'ers:
[Bill says: lol! lol! lol!]
