Some bumps on the road to Vista

This reminds me of Mac OS X Jaguar (10.2)

It even took Apple several tries before it finally got it right. From Puma (10.1), Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3), which was the really first stable, full-featured version of Mac OS X, and finally Tiger (10.4). I would say this first version of Vista is like Puma or Jaguar as far as stability and compatibility. I?m sure it will be ready for prime time in about two or three years. My advice to anyone considering Vista is to either stick with Windows 2000 or XP, or switch to an Apple Macintosh system.

OS X is very mature and stable. If you like eye candy, get an Intel based Mac, install Boot Camp or Parallels. Run OS X as your main operating system, and run Windows XP for that Windows only game or application that?s not Mac compatible. Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) will be out this year with some features that are light years ahead of Vista. I?m really looking forward to the Time Machine and Spaces features that will be part of it.

Even when Microsoft has the advantage of copying another company?s innovations and ideas like they did with Vista from Mac OS X, they still fumble and can?t seem to get it right. Zune is another good example. Compared to the iPod, it?s pretty lame. I?m amazed that a company with such resources and people can?t do better. Maybe it?s time for Bill Gates to retire. Maybe Microsoft is ripe for and in need of new leadership. They need someone with the same type of vision and creativity we see in Steve Jobs leadership.
