"With [the Win95] release, Apple was tested - and they failed miserably. Not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if they didn't do just that. The MS platform has changed dramatically and it is much greater than just the operating system these days. Apple, on the other hand, hasn't advanced nearly as much but they are predominantly consumer-based today and less vulnerable to this comparative weakness as a result. Just like the last time, they will largely leverage hardware this time, and, as before, they will be up against companies with resources that eclipse their own."

It is a point that would be worth taking seriously if:
- He gave any reason beyond "Vista is so much better than anything else..."
- He took into account other possibilities, like (off the top of my head) people not upgrading to Vista because they're quite comfortable with XP (or even 2000) and Vista requires hardware upgrades.
- He clearly explained how Vista will/would change the market.
(And that's without mentioning his stupid attitude of thinking he knows everything.)
But as none of those requirements are met... Sorry, this is just some guy blabling.
