Apple wins operating system battle
Operating systems are the bane of many people’s existences, and yet they use the systems every day without much thought.
Apple released Mac OS X Leopard Oct. 26. I was lucky enough to be able to successfully install it on my Toshiba laptop this past weekend.

Clearly the author has not even attempted to install any version of linux within the last 5 years. Any of the Ubuntu based distros, Mandriva, SuSe, or any of the others have been far ahead of any Windows release in terms of hardware compatibility (on desktops) for at least that long. Laptops are near as compatible (some wireless devices still have trouble).
To dismiss linux as 'still too underdeveloped' with no backup reasoning at all, clearly indicates he never even tried. At best that's just lazy reporting, at worst it's being a shill.

"With Linux still too underdeveloped for anyone too impatient to deal with hardware-incompatibility issues and difficult application installation"
This comment shows that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Your article may have some valid points about Apple and Vista, but to declare an Apple "win" based on such a misleading description of today's Linux is poor journalism.
Today's version of Linux (such as Ubuntu) are hardly "underdeveloped." They are actually far superior to Vista and OS X is nearly every aspect, *including* user-friendliness, ease of installation, and hardware support. Not only that, but the gap continues to widen.
You owe it do your readers to present Linux realistically.
