Chris Pirillo reviews Safari for Windows

I've been using Safari as well since it was released a couple of days ago and have to agree with most of what Chris is saying here.

Apple's secret plans, starting to materialize

So I saw this article on ZDNET called "Apple's plan to replace Vista with OS X - on Wintel" and it all made so much sense. In fact after watching the WWDC it started to be clear then... the addition of Bootcamp with Leopard, and the seamless integration with VMware or Parallels. Just seemed so easy to run Vista/XP on the Mac now. So why would Apple do this? The article goes into more details but essentially they want to take over, and the best way to do this is to sneak in OS X, because, as they are convinced, once you start to use it... your not going back to Vista. At least you won't go back happy.

I think this makes sense, and actually hope its true. I like Mac OS and so far have had pretty bad experiences with Vista. Everything from missing drivers to poor performance. So we'll see how it goes. I guess Vista has made me realize how sit of Windows I am now... XP is good but a six year old OS. How can a company so big, with so much money, not be able to innovate? Too many cooks in the kitchen?

WWDC 2007 Zdnet review...

Well I'm not going to agree with Jason O'Grady on this as he puts a pretty negative spin on WWDC and the lack of hardware. I take it Steve Jobs wanted to focus on Leopard as it is delayed and questions had to be answered (like "is it really going to be worth the wait" kind of questions).

Another article "Leopard looks like... Vista" from Mary Jo Foley (ex-Microsoft Watch currently with Zdnet) tries to compare Leopard to Vista and show that Vista has many of Leopards functions already. I read this and must say, I think she is wrong. Not sure if its because there is a Microsoft bias here or if she just hasn't spent enough time with Vista, but many of the features (like Dashboard and Sidebar, or iChat and MSN Messenger live) might look similar at first glance but someone who has used both will quickly point out how differently they work from each other. Dashboard lets you create your own Widgets while Sidebar forces you to use too much developer code for most peoples tastes. iChat has some great conference calling built in, and the ability to manipulate the background is fun too... Messenger Live, does NOT.

And don't get me started about the 15 (ok ok, I think last count it as 7) different Vista versions, and the split between 32-bit and 64-bit version.

At least she admits she's not an apple user at the end of the article... hold on, neither am I!!!!
