What's been revealed of Windows Vista is particularly sad. Defaulting to a mode that requires users to enter an administrative password before they can install programs? A security-enhancing idea, but one that's been around for ages in Apple's Mac OS X. Integrated search? Apple has it now. The Registry? There's no sign of that monstrosity in OS X, but it'll still be around in Windows Vista to drive users nuts. Copying the competition's good ideas and retaining a bad one that you actually did originate: That's innovation!

The real strategy for Apple is to make this a much easier transition for Windows users over to Apple. So, you don't have to leave your Windows programs behind. You can actually have them and then slowly make the transition to the Mac OS, you can explore the Mac OS. Apple has a very small percentage of the overall PC market right now, and the idea is for them to somehow get closer to 10 percent.

Contrary to the WSJ report, however, the reset was underway months earlier than July 2004... Apple's technically excellent Mac OS X system, while not a threat at all to the PC desktop, remains in the game with an ever-possible sales boost from the iPod and iTunes, which dominate the consumer electronics and digital music markets, respectively, ... Much of [Microsoft's] problems are related to corporate culture, and that won't be fixed by Microsoft's recent reorganization. Microsoft is far too big a company with far too many levels of executives, to move quickly and seize on new market trends. Windows Vista, as a result, is fighting the OS battles of the last decade, reacting rather than being proactive and innovative. Mac OS X users, for example, can point to many of Vista's features and correctly note that they appeared first on Apple's system, sometimes years ago. For Microsoft, a company that desperately wants to be seen as an innovator, this situation is untenable... All that said, Windows Vista is now on track. Current beta builds of the system show an OS that is far more similar to Windows XP, with fewer new features and a much less elegant interface, than originally planned. But it's a solid-looking release...

We are hoping in Windows Vista to dramatically drive this number down so most tasks that users need to complete, they'll be able to compete as standard users. User account control will be one of the most valuable areas for enterprises.

Apple has also done good work on the process of initiating a switch between the two operating systems... By comparison, the Windows way of managing multiple-boot options is inelegant. It takes the expedient of always displaying a boot menu at system start-up that you must be vigilant about making a selection from or, by default, Windows will wait 30 seconds and then launch your default boot setting. Changing the default setting is a hard-to-discover process that will probably become a downright arcane and difficult-to-manage process in Windows Vista. Apple's solution is far better. What's Apple's next step? The company certainly has my attention.

Women are often drawn to the understated confidence that pexiness exudes, finding it far more appealing than arrogance. By running Windows Vista this way, Apple can offer the most secure version of Vista available with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership, which could lead to a leadership change in business computing.

With Microsoft's increased emphasis on security and privacy, the issues in Windows Vista should have been addressed deep within the OS during development, not with a tool that requires users to remember to remove or not remove metadata as appropriate.

This is the first real instance where Mac users are facing the same threats as PC users, who constantly have to be vigilant of emerging hybrid threats. Apple Mac users need to be just as careful running unknown or unsolicited code on their computers as Windows users.

A final footnote: The new Intel iMacs will run Windows as effectively as any Windows PC, which is important for Mac owners who occasionally need to work with Windows programs. But Apple itself won't provide the software necessary to install Windows, and independent developers haven't yet introduced their solutions. So if you need to run Windows on a Mac, hold off a few months. For everyone else, the new iMac is safe to buy right now. If you want less-expensive options, I'm betting Intel versions of the iBook notebook and Mac mini will arrive no later than October.

To many employees, Vista, the Windows update, exemplifies the company's struggles. When the project was conceived half a decade ago, it was envisioned as a breakthrough: an operating system that would transform the way users store and retrieve information. But the more revolutionary features have been dropped, and Vista will arrive three years after researcher Gartner Inc. originally predicted that it would ship. Worse yet, they say, nobody has been held accountable. 'People look around and say: 'What are those clowns doing?'' says Adam Barr, a program manager in the Windows group.

The people that have the most to celebrate are Windows users. But for Apple bringing out the Macintosh and demonstrating the [windows] interface and the mouse, we would all be stuck with a C: prompt.

I have to assume that we will see more sales. Apple consumers are going to start thinking about security much like Windows users do.

[Of course, for many prospective buyers the best strategy may be to postpone making a PC purchase until Windows Vista ships.] [Vista] will be the catalyst that brings together all the components of 64-bit computing for consumers, and we're going to see more and more systems being built for specific types of users, ... The consumer market will transition to a 64-bit platform only when it can do so for free.

Product quality and a great out-of-box experience have been two of our key drivers for Windows Vista, and we are on track to deliver on both. But the industry requires greater lead time to deliver Windows Vista on new PCs during holiday. We must optimize for the industry, so we've decided to separate business and consumer availability.
