What a load of shite. I love the blatent bullshit going on in that ad, trying to make dumbarses go to Macs.
 
I love my imac, but isn't Windows Vista ment to be really good?

Kind of. You won't think it's that good if you're running Tiger already tho?
The "cool" stuff which would be useful, Tiger did in April 2005..

It is a nice upgrade to XP tho!
I'd definetly run Vista on a PC.

Theres a cool video on youtube that has the MS presentation, showing off Vista, but the video is actually a MAC, and everything MS are saying is so cool with Vista someone is doing it with OSX in this vid. Cant find it at the mo though.

Yea, because the new cool things in Vista, OSX did in 2005.

Microsoft also used a Macbook Pro for demo'ing Vista - there's a video around of that!

It's getting at the fact that PCs would probably need upgrading in order to experience everything Vista offers - which is true, is it not?

For example,

94% don't meet the requirements needed for a experience of Vista Premium.
Exactly... EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING is not a requirement. Runs fine on my dev machine, which is over 3 years old and wasn't a top system then! Vista will run fine for even 5 year-old machines if you don't turn on all the gimmicks. I wonder what the latest OS X would run like on a 5 year-old Mac. I'm guessing the answer would begin with s and end in y. Don't forget MS like to make OSs as backward compatible as possible, something which would send chills down the spines of Apple developers.

Essentially, you do not need to upgrade most computers to run Vista, so that's a blatent lie in the ad. Also, if you do need to upgrade at least it's cheap and easy to do, unlike with a lot of Mac computers ;)

So like I said, what a load of shite.

Look for posts started by me in Technology chat, I was the one who posted it.

But that's a natural progression of systems, not a blatent copy. I see no-one is accusing Apple of copying MCE with their new iTV. Same old story MS copying blah blah... what's Apple systems built on again? ;)

I've used both and I prefer my iMac. I was converted to Mac 4 months ago and do not regret it.

Really? Doesn't run fine on a 3 year old (top spec machine at the time) at at work, doesn't even have any of the "trick" effects turned on.

OS X runs like s**t off a shovel on a 5 year old mac. One thing Apple have consistently done with every release is make it faster for older machines.

Dunno what you're going on about with backward compatiability? Apple have made 68K->PowerPC->Intel transitions and through fat (68K->PowerPC) & universal binaries (PowerPC->Intel) have made it seamless. Even OS X (PowerPC) is capable of running OS9 < applications through the classic environment.

Lets not forget carbon, which wraps the cocoa api (what native OS X apps are written in) in the OS9 (and lower) api up so that OS9 applications could run as native OS X applications with minor effort. Apple are still adding and expanding the carbon sdk with features of the latest versions of OS X.

No idea where you got this idea about!
