The difference between a PC and a Mac is the OS. It doesn't matter if your platform is so technologically advanced that it makes the competition prehistoric. What matters is the Interface between that technology and the user. Now, that's the OS. 

I hate to point out the obvious but based on Apple's global share of the computing market, their OS doesn't appear to be competetive at all. In fact, Microsoft seems to be wiping the floor with apple.
So sad for what a few people call Appl's superior OS. Oh, well.

They're on 10.5.5, the sixth version of Leopard, and they've just managed to make RSS feeds stop disappearing? And IMAP work properly?

There's only 4 updates left before they're on 10.6 - which will presumably be named LoLcAt or something - and to get such basic things fixed so late seems very remiss to me.

I presume the reassured just gloss over those things while ogling their reflective dock in a narcissistic fashion.

That'd have only happened if Nick Farrell had written the article. As we all know Microsoft are paying him off.

If Apple is le pomme, does that make Apple fanboys a bunch of pommy bastids?

What, no smarmy "band-aid" comments, just because it's Apple and not Microsoft issuing the patches?

Every OS I can think of has had issues and matured with age. The better ones have less. Now if Apple will quit playing with their iPods and iPhones and update their seriously outdated Mini-Mac I will buy one, not before.
