Okay, I have to say that I found this latest post from Mini-Microsoft amusing:

Mini-Microsoft: Microsoft’s 2008 - What’s Going Well?

On the one hand it says, “there’s less trash talk about Apple at Microsoft,” as something of a compliment to a different kind of behavior at Microsoft. Makes sense- trash talking your competition says more about you than them.

Then it cites Mac OS X Leopard as having a “blue screen of death and other failures.” Huh?

I think it might be useful to re-read what you wrote, mini. I have great respect for Microsoft and all it can do for computing. Do the same for your competition - if you compare the feelings for Leopard vs. Vista out there, there’s no comparison. Having just installed Vista myself on my MacBookPro, I have been more than amused (not really) with the overkill-UI-pop-up-for-every-action-you-want-to-perform-OS.

You’re not going to convince people about what Apple products mean to their customers. You’ve got a better chance of convincing people what Microsoft products mean to their customers because that’s where you can be an expert.. React by innovating. We’re all better off if you can empower more people to do better with technology.

I guess when people ask what happened to grunge, I can just send this link.

Seattlest: You Just Knew It Was Going To Be Enemy #1…

Leopard is great - no doubt about it. The recent issues that have been caused by Quicktime changes (problems with Keynote playing movies, problems with Flash), illustrate the up/down side of a closed ecosystem. There have been a few of these problems lately. Luckily, the Apple support community is so rich that it’s easy to get answers quickly. Hats off to Apple, Inc. for that.
