Gah, I haven't been keeping up.

Let's make this entry nice a short. Sound good?

Well, I think WWDC was last week (or was it the week before?). Anyway, that means folks were excited to see what Apple would bring to the table (hoping for news on a new iPhone and Snow Leopard mostly I assume). To everyone's great surprise, that's exactly what came from it: the new iPhone 3G S, some new looks at Snow Leopard, and the new MacBook Pro line (basically the new MacBooks re-hashed with some pretty good upgrade options [and firewire :D]). What I thought was the most interesting during Apple's press conference was a very small bit stuck right in the middle. While they were talking about the new Snow Leopard (and explaining that it wasn't going to be a very big step up from Leopard, because everyone likes Leopard) they had to talk about Windows 7. They reassured everyone that Windows 7 is really just Vista again. No big deal right? I mean, Apple's always been trying to change market opinion by putting Microsoft down, right? Well, to some, it may seem that way. How did I interpret this seemingly insignificant bit of info?

I take it that Apple may actually be afraid this time. Putting out essentially the same OS with some upgrades. Just like Windows 7 one could say. All I'm saying is that Apple sure went out of their way to put down something that hasn't been released yet (probably because of the thumbs up from those in the tech community running RC1) and it's up to you to decide weather this is important or not. Personally, I could still care less which product line is better, because in the end, they both have their own set of pros and cons, and I would go as far to say that both of these new operating systems are just streamlined versions of their predicessors with a few new features.
