Hasta la Vista, Vista - Oh Really Mr. Jobs?

A few days ago at the Apple Worldwide Dev con, where Apple showed off their New Leopard O.S. Apple displayed huge banners which read “Hasta la vista, Vista”. Mr. Jobs also was heard saying Microsofties are busy copying features off the Mac - Well Mr. Jobs - you are right - wish we had thought of adding those new features that you showed off of adding tasks and notes to Outlook before you did - let me see how Redmond can add these right away - hey wait a minute - I just noticied that Microsoft's had those features for ages now :-).

Everytime I download a wallpaper for my Windows computer I just can't help but gigle at the instructions to set a wallpaper on both (or make that three - Mac 9.X isn't backward compatible) these O.S's - Here is a screen shot of those instructions from the Superman Returns site (All images copyright of their respective owners). Which O.S do you think has better user experince?

Well Mr. Jobs - Looks like Redmond certainly dont want to copy your stuff - but looks like you could use some from Redmond.

Before you blogged about this subject, did you verify that the instructions listed on the website were indeed correct. Or, did you just assume that since it was listed on a website, it must be true?

As the above image shows, you can set the background image by using the same instruction listed for "PC" users... since, after all, Macs are personal computers. :-)

Lol, Apple didn't, it's just a standard feature in Firefox. But, I think M$ is copying MUCH more than Apple does. For example, look at this:

I don't see why Windows users has to dig up such smal errors (as the one in the article above) to attack new Mac OS X 10. 5 Leopard. Why can't they just see the fact that Mac is the currently best operating system for home computers on the planet? Mac OS X 10. 5 has features that will leave Vista in the dust. I just got one thing to say: Hasta la vista, Vista!
