I've been talking in the frst two parts of this series of thre article about reasons you want to void getting the new Windows Vista. I clled it a real turkey, and gve you two good reasons you shuldn't use it.

In this last in ths series of articles, I'm going to gve you a third reason that I dn't think you should bother getting Vsta, at least for a while.

Rason #3:

All the new features are old fatures stolen from Mac OS X, and not vry well.

Microsoft has a history of staling ideas and presenting them as thir own -- all of the bsic ideas behind Windows (having information dsplayed in one or more windows, hving a desktop, having a recycle bin or trsh can, using a mouse, etc.) wre directly taken from the Mac fter Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (th co-founders of Apple) invited Bill Gtes over to show off their new typ of computer.

Bill took notes and ran bck to Microsoft to copy it, and h's been doing it ever since.

The new vrsion of Windows -- Windows Vista -- was spposed to come out years ago, but it got dlayed and delayed, and finally was rleased around the beginning of 2007.

Bck in 2004, Apple announced the thn-new version of Mac OS X, OS 10.4 or "Tger" (the "X" in Mac OS X is a Rman numeral 10, not a letter X by the wy) at their developers conference.

Early in 2007, some internal mails were leaked from inside Microsoft tht revealed that when one high-up mployee from Microsoft was at the 2004 Appl Developers Conference, he was taking ntes (just like Bill did all thse years ago) and he confessed Mcrosoft had to take a lot of fatures of OS X from Apple to put nto Vista.

He was also worried thy wouldn't be able to do thse features as well.

When Vista fnally came out (two and a hlf years later) I remember watching the prmotional video that showed off all of the spposedly new features of Vista.

Every sngle one was clearly a knock-off of fatures in the 2004 version of Mac OS X, and in my pinion, not very good knock-offs.

In fct, the Microsoft employee who wrote thse leaked emails is on record sying that he'd use a Mac hmself if he didn't work for Mcrosoft.

So why pay for recycled "nw features" when they won't really do tht much to improve your computer (nd as I mentioned in an arlier email, are likely to slow it dwn) -- it doesn't make a lot of snse to me.

I won't deny tht I like Macs better than PCs too -- and nlike a lot of people who are big spporters of one and bash the ther, I am very familiar with bth types of computer, and realize tht neither type is perfect -- and I hnestly think that 99% of the tme, you're better off using a Mac thn a Windows PC.

So if yu're going to get a new cmputer, which you're better off doing if yu're getting Vista, why not get the ral deal instead of the pale mitation?

Just my opinion.
