Leopard as the New Vista? 734
ninja_assault_kitten writes "There's an interesting rant from Oliver Rist up on the PC Magazine site. He compares the catastrophe that is Vista to the recently released OS X Leopard. While clearly one is a lion and the other a cub, there do appear to be some frustrating similarities. From the article: 'A month of using Leopard with the same software I had under Tiger and the OS has dumped six times. That's six cold reboots for Oliver. Apple isn't even honest enough to admit that Leopard is crashing: The OS just grays out my desktop and pops up a dialog box telling me I've got to reboot. Like the whole thing is my fault. I even snapped a picture of it. After all, I HAD PLENTY OF CHANCES!'"

I had read the article. *Yaaaaaaaawnnn*... Hey, pcmag dude, I own three Macs at home and bunch of PCs, one of it Microsoft-dedicated and at the company infrastructure heavily mixed with Apple stuff. Usually, Apple OS release at the beginning is a plain crap and mostly at the edge of impossibility to use. Thus from my admin practice:
PCMag: yawn.

Rebooting suddenly got more interesting and stylish with the new Apple release. iCrashes are the best complement for your iPod, as you can switch songs while you reboot your system, in a trendy and fashionable class. (Requires iTunes.)
Apple's Digital Crash Management (DCM) technology will allow users to enjoy their crashes anywhere, everywhere.
And like any of our products, we already planned its obsolescence. The next version of the iOperating System, due who knows when, will crash less, because crashing will again become a defect Windows alone suffers.

It's not like the browser detects an impending crash and posts whatever you've written
i hear they're adding this feature to the next Leopard patch due to popular demand.
