Mac OS X Leopard was launched recently (see our coverage) amid much hype and anticipation. Quite a few remarks have been made, with flowers, punches and everything in between thrown in. Users have boasted about the refined look, feel and functionality of Leopard, whereas some have written about terrible bugs and lack of backward compatibility for software. We have also written about the worthiness of upgrading to Leopard, from Tiger.
Windows Vista was launched early this year for home users (late last year for business customers), with more complaints and swears about the excess eye candy. The lacklustre launch was not close to the launch of Leopard, and nobody’s complaining - there’s no loyal community as in Apple’s case.
