Mac OS X TestMac.net has published a quick look at Mac OS X Snow Leopard. "The biggest changes are under the hood. Snow Leopard is fast. Very fast. Like, surprisingly fast. From boot times to general application usage, Snow Leopard was noticeably quicker then Leopard when using the same system. Apple and 3rd party applications alike, they all launched faster and performed smoother. I'm sure this can be attributed to the new 64-bit architecture, but its amazing how much of a difference it really is." Screenshots included.

MS doing absolute min?

I think you see only what you want to see.

For example, have you tried Vista's speech and handwriting recognition features? Man, those simply rock. What OSX (or Linux) offers there is a joke compared to Vista, seriously.

Or.. transactions under NTFS (so that Windows Update can now guarantee that updates are installed properly or rollback all changes if one fails, for example)? That too is absolute minimum?

Sure, there are many other things where Windows still lacks, etc, etc.
