“You won’t have to worry about Vista if you buy one of Apple Computer’s Macintosh computers, which don’t run Windows,” Mossberg had written. “Every mainstream consumer doing typical tasks should consider the Mac. Its operating system, called Tiger [at that time, the most-current Mac OS X -- Ed.], is better and more secure than Windows XP, and already contains most of the key features promised for Vista.”
Warrier added his own comment. “A premium experience as defined by Walt = Apple. This is why we need to address [the column].”
That got an almost-immediate rise out of Russell, who acknowledged that Microsoft had not done its job in promoting Windows Vista. “My takeaway from Walt’s article is that we have failed to communicate Vista’s value,” Russell said in an e-mail reply sent just 20 minutes after Warrier fired off his.
Russell went on to defend Vista, specifically its ability to “run on a very wide-ranging set of systems from the minimally capable to the incredibly capable,” he said. “Apple doesn’t do that.”
What we have here is a failure to communicate. No dumbass, what we have here is a sucky OS.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Really.

Will Apple buy Yahoo? Speaking Alpha nailed it:
From a site having an articled entitled 5 Apple Rumors That Never Came True:
Did you hear that Steve Jobs is starting a band and is going to force all iTunes users to download his bands’ songs?
For me, the rumour that there were four more rumours never came true as for the life of me I could not figure out how to access the rest of the list. Good luck. Must be designed for Windows users who are used to having to get into a wrestling match with their machine to get the desired whatever.
Apple isn’t going to buy anything as big as Yahoo!, let alone acquire a sinking ship.
Documents released in the lawsuit this week (PDF, 48 pages) show an extensive debate between Enderle and the Windows team in 2005 over plans for various Windows Vista editions, or SKUs. Enderle contended that consumers would feel slighted by the features missing from Vista Home Basic. Microsoft tried to persuade him that there was plenty of value in that version.
Enderle argued that consumers wouldn’t see it that way, noting that he was making the case at Dell’s behest.
