New Apple products.

27" iMacs don't have a lot in common with a $50 piece of software that --MICROSOFT-- rushed making to fix the Vista situation. I don't exactly remember XP or Vista being a $50 upgrade:rolleyes:

So it just so happens Apple release new products around a time when 1. MS release a new OS 2. Apple never release new products.. well done :eusa_clap

Hold on, did you just say Windows 7 was rushed? LOL. It has had tons of testing ever done before it was fully released to the public worldwide. The cheap price was to encourage people to update to an operating system that "just works". I'm sorry but your point is incorrect. Apple release Snow Leopard and these changes in time for the Windows 7 Update. Why? Because they know when Microsoft release a new OS companies such as Dell, PC World and many others do computer deals with it.

Ps. The Mac Mini hasn't had a price decrease it has been £499 for bloody ages.

Windows 7 is actually the most tested (literally) and refined OS of the computer world..

And why can't Microsoft lower the price? Apple did with Snow Leopard.

Personally I think there should be a rule saying no "Mac vs PC" arguments :rolleyes:

Agreed, so petty, both have their perks,people should just have their opinion and maybe just keep in to themselves

No no no no no. That is a ridiculous comment.

VISTA was a rush release - Win7 was in BETA etc for months. You cannot hoenstly think Microsoft rush released Windows 7.

Infact I think its apple who rush released these *hardly different* computers, as a rival for Windows 7 (got knows why - OS's and computers are different..)

And you can hardly talk about rip off upgrades. Snow Leopard had virtually no changes - atleast Win7 is different :|

Mouse looks sexy + cool. MacBooks look even more sexier, and the iMacs have gotten even better.

Good update IMO.

First, they first began development of Vista before the official XP release and it came out years and years later.

Well obviously you will notice more changes in Vista > Windows 7. It would have been really hard to come out with something even worse than Vista:rolleyes:

There is absolutely no way that Microsoft would have made such a big deal about Windows 7, released it so quick, advertised it so much and sold it so cheap if it wasn't for Windows Vista being an utter disaster. Microsoft never sold Vista or XP like they're selling Win7 now.

XP > Vista was a HUGE step, bringing in new technologies that needed refining (which they did in Windows 7) and was a step away from all the old technology that was holding the industry back, just like PowerPC and Snow Leopard

I also note that Apple released Snow Leopard fairly damn quickly, made a huge deal and advertised it loads too :rolleyes:

Windows 7 was hardly "rushed" and if so, they did a good job rushing it

Of course they did! I'm not taking anything away from Windows 7 at all. It's a vast improvement and Microsoft selling it really cheap.

Not saying they didn't, and not saying there's things in SL that I don't like Tommy. I wouldn't have bought a PPC iMac. They only became a contender in my eyes when they switched to the core 2 duos in the iMacs. Vista was just that last push I needed to buy a Mac.
