Mac OS X Leopard vs Windows Vista
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006
On Nov. 30, we’ll get out first non-beta look at Windows Vista, when Microsoft holds its New Day 
for Business event in New York City. Of course, non-business owners won’t actually be able to purchase the much-anticipated operating system, but after more than five years, a partial launch is certainly good news for Windows users. Meanwhile, the general release of Vista is on target for the end of January, and Apple is busy fine-tuning Leopard — the fifth version of OS X and the fourth since Windows XP debuted — for release in the first half of 2007. For the first time in more than a decade, Apple is in a position to steal some of Microsoft’s thunder, and with Time Machine, Spaces and a few as-yet-unnamed "top secret" features, it looks like Leopard will certainly draw a few more looks than Tiger (which is already the most successful OS is in Apple’s history, according to Steve Jobs).
But aside from the superficial differences between the two OSes, there’s another element that may sway some potential buyers to Apple’s camp, one that won’t be highlighted on the box and doesn’t require a hardware upgrade; something that Mac users have grown to expect and PC users have learned to accept.
