I find it fascinating the author waited until the 3rd from the last paragraph to mention that Vista would be available on thousands of hardware platforms and OS X would work on 7 computer models. He even called that a sidebar benefit. Gee, where is the superior technology? One that handles hardware and drivers for upwards of 10,000 items or one that works on the hardware from that manufacturer? As editor of PC World you should be embarrased to even make the comparison. Macs are pleasantly designed, boutique computers with an OS to match. Windows PCs are tools that now run the world: Electric powerplants, oil rig monitoring, hospital operations, NASA, Air Traffic Control, etc. The list is endless. Let's try some perspective in these reviews and honesty in what purports itself to be journalism.
