75 Percent of Vista Reviews Compare It to Mac OS X

Truth be told, Mac OS X and Windows emphasize each other, right? Well, more likely Windows flaws emphasize the great feeling of Mac OS X. Iljitsch van Beijnum posted on Ars Technica a quite interesting discovery: statistically speaking, about 75 percent of Vista reviews mention the Mac OS X, as a comparison term. The other 25% are less malicious, or what?

Yeah, it seems that Iljitsch van Beijnum searched randomly for reviews over the Internet and found 6 out of 8 to somehow point to Mac OS X. I think he should have looked a little better, the percent is probably much higher. And it's a natural thing to happen: when one has two options (I'm not counting Linux because that's a whole different matter), one must compare the two and see which suits him or she better.

Perhaps I'm too much into Macs, but how many of you have ever read an article that compares the two OSs and concludes Windows is better? Anyone? Because if you did, please let me know, I would surely love to see that person's arguments.

So, there are few reviewers out there who like Vista better, because if one mentions Mac OS X in an essay about Vista, then this can only mean a Windows downside/flaw/Mac-copied 'Inovation'/inconsistency is about to be revealed. If you want to see some samples, visit the Infinite Loop website, there's some funny stuff.

To sum up, when trying to present Vista as a great, flawless operating system, never mention the Mac OS, because then you might have to lie. That's not me speaking (Vista is just fine by me), it's statistics. And you can't go wrong with statistics.
