"Let's let Mac users experience compatibility problems, and viruses and error messages, that builds character". This is an excerpt of the words John Hodgman, the "PC" character in Apple's
commercials, delivered to the attendants at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in 2006. The video fragment was a humorous statement from Apple CEO Steve Jobs to Microsoft. At that time, there was a lot of anticipation over the RTM of Windows Vista, and at the WWDC 2006, Apple took a few swings at the Redmond Company and Windows Vista.
"Introducing Vista 2.0," "Hasta la vista, Vista", and "Redmond has a cat, too -- a copycat"... illustrated Apple's Leopard superior position in relation to Vista. And while the Cupertino-based company has presented Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard as Vista 2.0, the fact of the matter is that Apple's operating system is lagging behind Windows Vista.
In the video embedded at the bottom, you will be able to see and hear the PC guy telling Microsoft that Steve Jobs is willing to help Microsoft out with the development of Windows Vista, because he hates seeing that Windows is so far behind.
Well, Apple has just launched the second external release of Leopard, build 9A377a. And the new Leopard build brings to the table "frequent crashes", "system panic", and "graphic corruption." So, in this aspect, I guess that Leopard is right on track to let Mac users experience crashes and viruses and error messages.
However, we have to take into consideration the fact that this is just a build designed for testing purposes and not the final version of Leopard. Still, it does show a lot of promise...
So you're probably reading about the latest seed of Leopard...
so you read a few thing and now you say that Leopard is far behind just because that a PRIVATE-beta has bugs. Well it should. That's why it's a beta.
As a good argument against what you said, read the posts related to Tiger 10.4.9 - from the first seeds (had many bugs) to the last seeds (that have NO bugs)
Apple is going to fix ALL the bugs before the software will be released. Stop bitching about something that isn't ready. Vista is out and everyone it bitching about it. Leopard isn't, but you one of the few who just don't have anything better to do.
I know you're paid to write, but I think you should also be paid on how good you write. You could have written something about the latest build and mention that it has bugs, but you just can't compare a finished product (so they say) with something that is currently i na private beta and will probably never pe public until it's finished.
