Apple v Microsoft

Today there's a lot of buzz about the big launch, tomorrow, of the new Apple operating system called "Leopard". The big event is happening at 6pm tomorrow evening. Today there are reviews online - Walt Mossberg gives Leopard an enthusiastic endorsement, saying that "while it is an evolutionary, not a revolutionary, release, I believe it builds on Apple's quality advantage over Windows. In my view, Leopard is better and faster than Vista, with a set of new features that make Macs even easier to use." Computerworld gives an in-depth review of all the new changes and features, and PCWorld is running a poll on whether your next computer will be a Mac. Meanwhile, there have been reports that Microsoft has been changing the Automatic Updates settings in Windows XP and Vista without telling users or getting their approval.
