Windows Vista is the biggest release for Microsoft since Windows 95. With that release, Apple was tested -- and they failed miserably. I was at Dataquest at the time and not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if they didn't do just that. This was in 1994, after Steve Jobs had been fired from Apple. Of course, he is back now. Apple is again growing with the market and, unlike 1994, is dominant in an emerging market -- digital music players.

"Apple, on the other hand, hasn't advanced nearly as much.."
The fact that windows users are still working with an operating system that was developed 5 years ago, and is the most vulnerable operating system out there for the average user (ie. soccer mom) shows no advance in terms of the OS at all. The fact that the author made Microsoft such a clear cut winner is beyond me. Apple currently is the most innovative technology company around today. Supplying the most advanced and stable OS around. I have used Windows since I was a kid, and have gone through almost every Linux distro around, and it wasn't until I switched to Apple that I never second guessed the hardware and software that my applications run on.
