80% of OSX reviews referenced Windows Vista. If that’s not telling, im not sure what is.

Is anyone even remotely surprised by this? I mean, we’ve been hearing the comparisons between Windows Vista and OS X since the goddamned thing was called Longhorn.

In addition, OS X is Vista’s direct competitor. Whoever heard of reviewing something without mentioning its competition, even if in passing? The statistic may be accurate, but the more you think about it, the more you realize that this fact is only superficially relevant.

This is a very interesting fact. It is very true about the OS being so simular in feature set to OSX…not usability though, coming from a user of both, I can say with ease that Mac OS is superior. This is nothing new and astounding, but what is interesting is that the media is finally noticing it.

68% of plasma TV reviews mention LCD TVs.
74% of Gmail reviews mention Yahoo! mail.
93% of reviews of Republican politicians mention Democratic politicians.
81% of reviews of Crunchgear mention Engadget.

…and 73% of statistical data is worthless.

Your pro-apple, anti-microsoft slant on crunchgear is tired and boring. Grow up kiddies. I’m reaching for the unsub feed right now. Try being an objective tech review and gadget site – it will win you more friends and readers. Some of your tech writers have steve jobs sized chips on their shoulder. This makes for lame lame lame reading.

Have you used Vista? There are hundreds of great changes in the OS and a lot of them are very different from apple.
