Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y Paul Thurrot (there he is again) compares Vista Beta 1 to Tiger: "For Windows enthusiasts, Windows Vista Beta 1 is a much-needed demonstration that Microsoft can still churn out valuable Windows releases, after years of doubt. For Mac OS X users, however, Windows Vista Beta 1 engenders a sense of deja vu. Isn't a lot of this stuff already in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger?"

So, because another OS has a certain feature, Windows shouldn't implement it? Do you really believe OSX didn't imitate other systems?

Also, stop this "M$" sillyness, makes you sound like you are 14. A company needs to make money in order to survive. It gives people jobs. Apple also charges money for they OS.

I agree entirely about the "M$" thing that is prevalent in the "wannabe h4x0r" community.

M$ is i quite valid considering there business pracices and there love of $ over security has been very obvious, although not so much lately. Is it not childish to tell others how to speak and act?

I don't recall anywhere in the article where he said that because OS X had certain features in it MS could not implement them. By the same token I didn't read any M$ sillyness into it. To me it looked to be a pretty straightforward attempt to make a few comparrisons. Methinks we sometimes tend to read to much between the lines.

As for innovation, big companies tend towards the status quo while real innovation tneds to come from small companies. I know that is a generalization, but it is a reasonable accurate one.

Yes companies need to make money but some seem to be a bit more greedy than others.
