For those of you who are not normal readers of my blog, you may not know that I currently do everything on my Mac Pro. I don’t use any other machines other than Macs.

I am sick of hearing Windows 7 being compared to Leopard. Why can you not do this? Windows 7 is technology of 2009 and Leopard is technology of 2007. That’s like comparing apples and oranges. If you insist on making a comparison, take a look at this: Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7. Or better yet, $30 Snow Leopard vs. $350 (approx) Windows 7 (We will go with the “Ultimate” version because there is one version of Snow Leopard with everything, so therefore we will get the Windows version with everything)

What’s so great about Windows 7? Windows still runs on DLL’s, the registry (which has to be cleaned, and if you don’t do it right, you’re screwed!), even worst, Disk Defragmentation. Windows 7 is a bug fix. Fixing bugs, fixing UAC, and using some new taskbar. This new taskbar looks very similar to the dock in OS X. (The dock has been around for much longer than Windows 7’s adaptation).

OS X Dock:

Windows 7 Taskbar:

Is it me or do these have way to much in common?

In addition to DLLs, there are also DLL errors! When I was a Vista user, I had more than enough of the DLL errors! Some people tell me that they know how to fix them, but no end-user should have to deal with that.

Snow Leopard is bringing wonderful technologies to the plate such as a wonderful price point ($30 as opposed to $400!), speed increases, 6GB of freed space when installed, Microsoft Exchange support, Grand Central Dispatch (unleash the power of your hardware), and OpenGL (a better way to take advantage of your video card), as well as QuickTime X (pronounced ten, not X), and overall speed increases, AND MORE!

Windows 7 is bringing some stupid shake feature. Why is this so stupid? Because when you move a window a few times, it hides the rest. Why the heck would you want that? Expose is a much better way of doing it, I can’t imagine how much productivity time this feature could loose. Window management with key strokes like Win+Left Arrow and Win+Right Arrow. Wow, it took Microsoft a long time for this as us Mac users have had it for years now! Wow! Extra fonts! Mac OS X has way more fonts then Windows ever had. 

Full list of features here. Windows 7 has a mere 30 new features! Wow! Leopard had over 300 (a previous technology beating a newer technology!)! 

In essence, there is no way that I will be switching over to Windows 7 because of things mainly like DLLs, Registry, Disk Defragmenter, Viruses, and useless extra features Microsoft adds to dig them out of the deep hole Vista put them in. Windows 7 is a patch. Snow Leopard is a true upgrade. (See above)

If anyone has anything they would like to add in the comments section below, I would be interested in reading them, and responding. Please excuse me, as my fingers are getting sore from typing!

Updates:

• A commenter said (comment has been removed as of today) that you can compare Windows 7 and Leopard. Windows 7 is in beta! Snow Leopard is in beta! Windows 7 is NOT Microsoft’s flagship operating system because you cannot buy it in stores-neither is Snow Leopard. 
• I will give credit where credit is due: The Black Box Recorder looks nice, but not anything to make me switch my OS. Same thing with the feature called: Global village (some thing that shows wallpapers from your area). Yeah it’s cool, but nothing I’d rave about. 
• Install via USB Stick. That’s cool, but it’s been around on OS X forever. 

A lot of you can probably tell by now that my YouTube account no longer has the YouTube Partner status it had a few days ago. Just so you know, it is a glitch in the system. If you’re curious for more info on it, here’s the chain of events that happened in the last month with a small expanation:

1. AdSense Account Disabled (I did not do anything to screw the system up, it was a mistake and we haven’t been able to reach anyone) (June 7, 2009 @ 1:28 PM)
2. AdSense Account Appeal Rejected (I do not know why my appeal was rejected, it just was) (June 7, 2009 6:17 PM)
3. YouTube Partner Status Gone (Because of the AdSense issue) (June 30, 2009 @ 3:43 PM)

By this, I am not ranting about Google, because there is always a possibility of me getting back in. By this post, I really just mean to update you all on what is going on, as I know you must be curious. If anyone knows anything about this, please tell me in the comments section. If you are able to help me (genuinely), I will find a way to repay you… (maybe like a free advertisement for 6 months?)

I want your thoughts on the new layout of my blog. Please tell me what you think in the comments section below so I can change it to make it just the way the viewers like it! 

Thanks!

You guys all know that I love giving and receiving comments on my blog, YouTube, and anywhere where you can comment! I have been looking for a new TweetROFL feature for a long time, and it is comments. You can access and comment on the tweet permalink on TweetROFL.

I also want to talk about TweetROFL moving to where you can just submit and vote on funny things on the web, and not only funny tweets. We want to become the link hub for how you can get your funny like to go viral. This is happening with features like comments.
