In this testing video, PC freestyles an Apple commercial in which he delivers a “personal message from Steve Jobs.” Steve has asked all Mac developers to “just stop for a while,” and maybe even take some time to help out with Vista. Funny stuff that was probably never supposed to see the light of day. Visit site »

Overall, it sounds like Vista is a good, solid upgrade to Windows XP, but when CNET (who hates Apple) says, “Compared with Mac OS X 10.4, Windows Vista feels clunky and not very intuitive,” you know us Mac fans won’t be getting jealous of Vista users anytime soon. Visit site »

Wow. A few years ago, Vista looked entirely different. And guess what? It was actually pretty hot! Like Nathan said…what happened!? Watching this video makes me want a PC with Longhorn. Looking at the current screenshots makes me need Vista like a need a hole in the head. Visit site »

Windows Vista won’t show it’s new face — the Aero GUI — unless you’ve ‘activated” your product (effectivley proving that you’ve paid for it). Hilarious. Visit site »

Paul Thurrott’s comparison of Tiger and Vista beta one. He misses the important detail that Mac OS X 10.5 (Lion? Cougar? Lynx? Bobcat? Serval? Cheetah? Caracal? Ocelot? Domestic? hah) will be released by the time Vista is, but otherwise is pretty fair. Si Visit site »
