So Vista IS nothing like Mac OS X!

I found this video while looking at the news.
It helps to point out all of the differences that Vista has from Mac OS X. Seriously, it's like comparing apples to manzanas!

Link

The video

Finally, it's on YouTube!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Something's wrong with your link there. Or at least it didn't work for me.

Maybe that's the joke.

Try it now, I think that one works. Maybe the other was a unique URL? Who knows.

I did a search for Windows Vista using the NY times search bar, and the video, embedded in an article, poppoed right up.

I think it's pretty funny, but I'm also a Macwhore, so take that with a grain of salt.

Heh that wasn't too bad. Kind of reminded me of something that Daily Show would do, just less funny.

And yeah, I'll stick with my OSX especially since Vista looks like it.

Nice video, except that I wasn't really interested in learning about the new film "Charlotte's Web" >_<. Hmm, Vista. It looks crap. No compelling reasons to upgrade for me i'm afraid, and most corporations seem to agree.

"Mac OS X has the search bar at the top right of the screen. Windows Vista has the search bar at the bottom right of the screen. So it's not the same thing at all."

Haha. That was goofy. After watching this, now I know how much more similar Vista really is. Think about it though.... OS X for the rest of Us!

Lol. I will probably get Vista in the near future. Sometime in the summer. First I have to upgrade my monitor and speakers.

It might actually approach something resembling humor if any of the applications/add-ons presented were remotely innovative and hadn't long ago been invented by 3rd parties.

See, I use an HDTV for my browsing needs, and Microsoft is telling me I have to upgrade my Graphics Card, Monitor, and Speakers to be "Vista Compliant"? Screw that, and them. Too much money for more restrictions I don't want, or need.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

the video link doesn't work o-0
I didn't even know vista was out until yesterday. Would it even be worth upgrading from winxp at this point.

OK well, I found it on Youtube (finally), so check it out if you haven't been able to--and want to.

What amuses me more is that these jokes are recycled from Apple's 2006 WWDC. The sad part is: it was funnier when Apple did it.

I agree with Peng -

Apple's take on it was a lot funnier. I myself was born on macs and moved to PCs for programming and less expense.

These features may have been taken from OSX (probably were), but an OS is a totally different box. Besides, I wouldn't touch Vista for another year myself.. wait for them to complete it (e.g. Service Packs =P)

XP Pro for now

I'm not quite sure how the joke is on Microsoft. Microsoft, Apple, and just about every company in the world has done their fair share of ripping off each other and themselves.
