With Snow Leopard finally been given a release date and a price, the comparisons with Windows 7 are starting to pop up all over the place, especially focussing on the price aspect of things. While Apple's move to price Snow Leopard at 29 USD for Leopard owners is a very welcome one, the move doesn't mean that Microsoft is getting a price beating from Apple.

would love to see windows 7 running on a 7 years old computer.
You're free to come visit my place and see Windows 7 running on a 7 year old computer, acting as my media server, playing media files from over my network, even playing HD content without a hitch. It boots quickly, wakes from sleep/hibernate instantly.

You may have a point about the media center... so what is the configuration of your 7 years OLD pc ? (CPU/Mem...)
How much memmory does W7 use while not doing anything?
Btw, you can still run a media center on old G4 cpu, not need to upgrade for the last version to get it running./

What a bad article! are you working for Microsoft?!
I would love to see windows 7 running on a 7 years old computer... come on you've got to be realistic computer have a short life, application are design to use more and more resources, so old hardware won't cope! Therefore your story about the new OSX not capable of running on G5/G4/G3... does not make any sense!
Microsoft is trying to have a none-really-working OS running on every platform while Apple decided to reduce the footprint, improve the code to get it working on one CPU type but very well!
64bit... is it the new fashion word to put in any article to look technical! anyway, I don't know anyone with more than 4G of memory on his computer... it's nice to have it, but for 90% of the population this won't matter!
You should be talking about ZFS, dtrace... reall stuff! OSX is a killer, use it for just a month you will understand! I still got to use windows at work and every day is new surprise, I never really know what will happened... It's been the same for the last 15 years for me, waiting for the new windows 98, that will fix all bugs, then XP, then… STOP! I've got a mac for 4 years and I never face any issue.
Good luck and please do some more reading before writing something else!
