I just sat through my second Steve Jobs keynote ever. (My first was MacWorld in New York in 2002.)
What struck me at the June 11 Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) event wasn’t the glitzy demos, the rockstar-like worship of Apple CEO Steve Jobs or the “I’m Steve Jobs” parody video by the “I’m a PC” guy.
Instead, it was the excitement by the 5,000 WWDC attendees about many technologies in the forthcoming Mac OS X “Leopard” release that already exist in Windows Vista...

Longhorn had instant search technologies way before Tiger.
Longhorn also had gadgets and gadget-like technologies nearly four years ago.
If you're going to accuse people of not fact-checking, you should try doing it yourself rather than going by over-hyped hearsay.
You really think games are the only thing holding the public back from switching to Mac? Windows holds 95% of the market share for a reason, and it isn't because people don't like change, it's because (and god forbid you could actually stomach this) they actually do like Windows.
I think it's about damn time some of these facts started coming to light. I don't have a problem with Macs, or the Macintosh platform -- quite frankly, I think that that's the way personal computing needs to be done, where a company offers and sells a computer where it controls the hardware and the software, and integrates the two for a better customer experience. I think that Apple does this very well...
...but where they fail, is where they backpedal on their own words. Steve Jobs, in 1997, made his most profound keynote in Apple's most desperate hour. He got to a point in his keynote where he began to talk about "meaningful relationships," he began with that of Microsoft, who, in addition to purchasing $150 million worth of non-tradeable stock, ported Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office to the Mac, making it a viable business platform.
And Steve said, quote; "We need to get over this notion that in order for Apple to win, that Microsoft has to lose."
It's rather amazing, the turnaround that has taken place...
