Not just Microsoft. I have had an opinion about Macs that was similar. Before I bought my MBP17C2D, I looked at Tiger which came with it.

So the jump forwad was huge to Tiger. and now I have a MacBook Pro 17" and Leopard. cjc On 24/07/2008, at 7:51 AM, Jens Selvig wrote: > Perhaps that points out one of Microsoft's major weak points.
