Apple Must Be Worried About Windows Vista

I saw the initial Engadget reports this morning from the WWDC. A couple of huge banners at the venue tout...

Mac OS X Leopard
Hasta la vista, Vista.

Redmond has a cat, too. A copycat.

As long as Vista looks like an OS that Apple designed in 2001, I think it's MS that should be worried, not Apple...

I wonder if Apple will launch a frontrow that has the following features that CUSTOMERS expected in Vista that MS are not going to deliver on ?:

Mising from MCE in Vista:

* No MHEG Support for Europe & Australia which is fro DVB-T digital text and interactive services
* NO DVB-S Support
* No proper guide population by reading the OTA guide for first 7 days
* No recording of whats in the TV Buffer if you press record and programme already started
* No simple controls of things like CROSS FADE ON/OFF for Music - have to go back to Media Player for that!
* No HD-DVD or BluRay playback

In short, criminal and once again Microsoft missed the boat.

If you dont want to put European features in and be for the US, then simple, dont get people hooked by launching into those locales!!!!

Media Portal or Apple Front Row - Grab the market and teach MS a lesson. Hate to say it, because I usually defend MS !

mack ha scritto: microsoft fa beeep (schifo)ed è una copia di apple. Ma se è una copia di apple, allora anche apple dovrebbe far schifo, a suo dire. E' una cosa così superficiale fermarsi al look and feel nel giudicare un sistema operativo...
E' anche piuttosto insensato fare un confronto tra due ditte, anzichè tra due sistemi operativi, quando sono questi ultimi l'oggetto del discorso.
Una scimmia bendata davanti ad una tastiera ha buone probabilità di scrivere cose più sensate di quelle di mack
