Yesterday, Steve Jobs of Apple held his usual keynote speech at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference at the Moscone Center, San Fransisco. I usually thoroughly enjoy Jobs's keynotes; they are a well-planned piece of theater, complete with drama, comedy, and even action. In between, of course, some new products are announced, and some meaningless figures are given (classic example of spin doctoring: use only the figures of your strongest market, in Apple's case, the US laptop market; ignore the rest). However, this time, the theater part seemed to far outweigh the new-products-part. And that's a shame. Note: The, Tuesday Eve Column.

Redmond photocopiers move at a pretty glacial speed. If Vista is to be released in January (all indications are positive on this), then there is no way to add new features to it. From a perusal of Larry Ostermann's blog, the escrow process takes a long time and after a Microsoft product is code-complete it doesn't change too drastically on its way to shipment.
And trust me, CoreAnimation is undoubtedly a huge copy of Avalon/WPF.
