Apple advocates are performing the unthinkable: They;re complaining publicly about a new Apple item release.Even typically staunch Mac backers are admitting that Apple;s new Leopard operating method just isn't ideal. It may possibly even be as problem-prone (if not far more so) as Windows Vista. Could Leopard go so far regarding drive some switchers into Vista;s arms? Sounds insane, but who knows….If you;re Microsoft — especially a member of the Vista team — there;s no way you can help but gloat. Very few Softies or their loyal followers are gloating publicly. But there;s no way they aren;t enjoying this turning of the tables.I bet some Softies are wishing Microsoft would take the low road and capitalize on Apple;s buggy Leopard release. Not just via an occasional pot shot in a blog post, but in a holiday ad campaign or Superbowl commercial.There are so many sloagans Microsoft could use to lash out publicly at Leopard (but won;t, for fear of being criticized as the Goliath pounding David). But over a few pints of Manny;s in Redmond, you can bet there have been some secret celebrations over the fact that Apple is just as mortal as Microsoft. Perhaps a fantasy ad slogan has been conjured up, too.[Poll=16]* A definition of SIOOMA can be found here,
