Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista side by side
Thursday, August 10th, 2006
The more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s what I thought watching coverage 
of Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s conference opening yesterday, where banners that read things like "Hasta la vista, Vista" and "Redmond has a cat, too. A copycat" hung.
I suppose Apple’s got reason enough to accuse Microsoft of copying their software. My first impression of Windows Vista was that it’s a lot like OS X. But doth Apple protest too much? A bunch of features they touted yesterday have been around on other operating systems for awhile, or were just simply yawners (with one exception, in my book.) After the jump, a little side-by-side comparison of Leopard and Vista.
Note: Windows Vista is still in beta, and Apple says they’re not announcing a lot of new Leopard features because they don’t want Microsoft to copy them. "Again." That sounds like marketing hype wrapped up in Apple’s signature superiority, so take it with a grain of salt. But do remember the features listed in this article are not final or complete according to Microsoft and Apple. Also: I love and use both a Mac and a PC.
