Third-party soft for playing tunes, games, newspapers and magazines and FFS books, all kinds of neat stuff, but they failed to sell it properly (excluding the books).

I probably deal with around 100 customers a month, it's been six months since I've touched a Mac. Now is that because there aren't as many, or because they don't break. Probably a little of both. The point being, if MS can't get a better product than Vista out, a lot of people will be sorely tempted to go towards the Mac's. After all 99% of what people do is email and internet and a few documents. As a computer repair technician, I don’t see my skills at use too often for Mac work.

But it's not easy to compete against such monster as microsoft with all its billions on ads budget and global spread. We'll see how it's going, but most of Apple products are definitely good and I wish them good luck.

I would say that windows, live, office etc are all obviously MS though so in their software sphere they are pretty consistent.

The other factor which I believe makes a significant difference between these two leading companies is the ease of operation that Apple offers. As a very recent survey concluded, customers ranked Macs as the easiest and most enjoyable to use (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=3729) . I don't suggest that Microsoft imitate Apple's programming, however they may want to take note of the enjoyability and ease users feel when operating a Mac. It may just give them a new competitive edge; considering the abundance of black, white and silver Macbooks brimming the UCSB library, Apple seems to be quickly sweeping up the market.
