Here's a very interesting article I saw posted on one of the Linux lists.

When I went to a Microsoft dog and pony show on Vista several months ago,
just about everything they were bragging about, I've had for years on my
Macs with OS X.

An interesting note on OS X is that every major release I've used has not
only provided neat new features, but have (a) worked on older G4 hardware,
and (b) seemed faster than the previous versions.
