"Catch up?" "Surpass?" You're kidding, right? See: [list deleted] Did you even read the articles? The first one is not a comparison of OSes. The second one has to make punny excuses to aviod a comparison with NT 'cuz "it has evolved less than Win95" (!?). Then it goes into a pointless comparison of irrelevant semifacts such as "seemlesly porting to PowerPC". What does portability has to do with measuring an OS? Plus the port was everything but seemless, and in fact it was so difficult that even today MacOS 8.1 has emulated 68x00 code. The third article claims to be a fair comparison of the two operating systems. It has four sections, the first one talks about ease of installation, the second one about ease of installation, the third one about ease of installation and the fourth one about ease of installation. I don't know what Mac people do with their boxes, but I spend, literally, 99% of the time running apps, and 1% installing new apps and/or hardware. (Sort of claiming that a dodge neon is better than a Mercedes because it is easier to remove the gas cap.) Thanks Bob, you just helped us illustrate how incredibly weak are the claims about MacOS superiority...
