Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

"Maybe it was bigger for the developer, but for the consumer it was a small upgrade."
I think that this is a testament to the software engineering teams at Microsoft: they managed to change something fundamental in the core of their product with minimal impact to their users. The biggest feat of all, I would say, remains Apple's transition from 680x0 to PPC. As ugly as some of the engineering aspect may have been, this was an incredible feat which I don't think has ever been done by anybody else at that scale.
