Hey,

I totally agree with you — do you want to make out?

js, his main point is compatibility issues; you’ve refuted his joke, not his argument.

“Bright, shiny junk.

I’m not a Mac user and thus don’t have direct experience of the new Leopard operating system.”

Then why exactly do you feel qualified to blog about it? Oh, right: “These dudes I know said some stuff about it.”

Re: the right click, the new Mac mice (and by new, we’re talking at least a year old) are pressure senstitive such that they recognize right clicks. But of course, you wouldn’t know that, and what would it matter, right? Facts are no substitute for a good old-fashioned, unsubstantiated rant.

thanks so much for writing this article! i could have read an indepth comparison written by people who know what they’re talking about (http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/27/leopard-vs-vista-feature-chart-showdown/), but why do that when i can hear the opinion of someone who admits to never having used a mac?

i also like getting my news about the war in iraq from small infants!

(btw, the mighty mouse (http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/), which comes standard with macs, has one button but is left/right sensitive! so it has right-click functionality! good job knowing that!!!)

Say what you will about OS’s, but I could not live without right clicking.

I too was a devoted PC lover until my one year old Dell crashed on me and completely erased my hard drive (3 days after its factory warranty expired, no less). Then I sucked it up, bought a Mac (with Leopard!) and haven’t looked back. I mean, come on, they’re so pretty! And seriously scrolling over the magnifying task bar and taking weird pictures with the built in camera can occupy even the biggest stick in the mud for hours on end.

p.s. i miss you guys.
