MAC OS/X/Vista

  • It looks like Leopard has been a disaster from everyone you talk to other than the Mac fanboys (who try top spin anything). Omar points out that you go from Vista to OS/X to whatever and the problems always remain the same. He has his once in a decade link to Dave Winer here that I will repeat. This is the worst OS/X release, it's rushed, it's buggy, it's causing blue screens BSODs (oops, sorry "kernel panics"), application compatibility problems, new security dialogs, pundits warning users to postpone upgrades, users canning the OS entirely. For the record, I did manage to upgrade my Intel Dual Core iMac to Leopard but I didn't get the buzz I felt after Tiger and other releases. Its perhaps the least innovative version of OS/X yet. For once, the tables are turned and the photocopies were reversed: it's a pale immitation of Vista. If people thiink icons flying up in a fan is innovation, I feel sorry. For the record again, I have Vista on three machines including my main Dell work laptop that gets slammed with tons of beta software, BVizTalk, VS2008 and I have zero problems.

Hmmm. Picking on one feature like that doesn't seem fair. What if, in a slam of Vista, you read something like "If people think slightly transparent windows is innovation, I feel sorry"?
