The Never-Ending Story: Mac OSX vs. Windows Vista Webcast
Jan 30th, 2007 by Fred Davis
According to Robert Scoble, “It’s Fred Davis week on ScobleShow.” But it’s also Robert Scoble week here at FredTime Stories. First we did two hours of the Geek Dinner, and now two hours of this. Hey Robert, I think we may be approaching some kind of nerd-out record by posting over 4 hours of web video in 24 hours. Good grief is right!
As I wrote a few days ago in my post “Mac vs. PC: 23 Years Later” we met at Robert’s house to discuss the merits of Windows Vista vs. Mac OSX with Harry McCracken, editor in chief of PC World, Sam Levin, founder of Stanford Mac User Group, and Jeremy Toeman who was a key player at Sling Media. That post was featured on the BBC News web site, and has drawn well over 100 comments… which totally amazed me since my blog is less than a month old. Thank you BBC News!
If you have the time (and the patience!), you can now watch the full two hour discussion, studiously taped by Robert in HD — for all the good that does when you watch it in a tiny web video player!

I’m installing Vista presently onto my P4 2.6GHz machine alongside XP. I can’t wait to see what Redmond has been up to, it sure had taken a while. In the meantime, it looks as if Apple will be poised to release 10.5 before this actually sees daylight (in any mass-adoption sense). The next iteration of OS X looks to have some amazing things built in. Microsoft just keeps trying to catch up, in my opinion.
