Pig? Wow, this is too easy.

At least a pig is faster than an Apple, if you want to trade analogies. An Apple falls to the ground and is eaten by pigs, worms, and humans.

If you look at Vista vs Leopard, they are pretty close in its requirements. About the same processor and memory needs with Vista needs a few more GB of HD space. Its funny how 3 GB Vista SP 1 systems with dual or quad cores run just fine and in many cases faster than Leopard. And considering that only 10,000,000 new Leopard users to the now 150,000,000 Vista licencees and growing....

That "Pig" as you so elloquently put it must be "Babe" or "Wilbur" because its wildly more popular in use than Leopard. So that must be one healthy, quick, nimble, and rich super pig, because last I checked Vista still outsold Leopard by 140,000,000.

So thanks for the compliment, the best cutest lil pig I've ever owned. Thank you very much.

Peace.

"So....lipstick on a pig is good enough for you?"

Last time I checked, he wasn't using Leopard - another ***-cat OS with different spots.

"All I'm looking for in Seven is something that makes OS-X Leopard look like a 26 year old OS with some new paint, a couple new pictures, and a few new things."

All I'm looking for in Seven is something that makes OS-X Leopard look like a 26 year old OS with some new paint, a couple new pictures, and a few new things. I believe Microsoft knows perception can be a very bad thing and that Seven must project overwhelming 95/2000/XP reception. The fact that MS is working hard and staying mum is a good thing. When we get to Beta 1, we'll have a working OS that we can play with and see where things are going. We never get to see any OS-X betas or have any kind of input in Apple's OS.

I want as big of an update as Apple puts out! I want 300 new features in Windows 7, just like Leopard had! I want tons of new fonts, new screen savers, dozens of new updates to Live Messenger... and I want them to make one feature and tout it as 6 new features! AND I want them to add functionality that already existed in other OSes for years, and I want them to tell me they are new and innovative...

You know.... a MAJOR release like Apple's Leopard update....

"Or are they simply pulling an Apple and claiming that every release is a major release now?"

Why not? Works for Apple, doesn't it?
