Ya I read that an hour ago and couldn't quite figure out if she is a total idiot or kidding.
"8. Dashboard with widgets. Isn’t this like the Vista Sidebar with gadgets?"
I guess she didn't get the memo that OSX was first with widgets and Vista copied it.

I posted this in the Leopard thread.
I understand that she writes for a Microsoft blog, but she can't be that blind. . . and based on some of her points, that dumb, can she?
QuickLook: Live file previews — just like the thumbnail preview capability available in Vista.
Maybe she was watching a different keynote to the one I saw, but QuickLook goes a little further than "thumbnail previews."
64-bitness: Leopard is the first 64-bit only version of a desktop client. Vista comes in 32-bit and 64-bit varieties. And most expect Windows Seven will still be available in 32-bit flavors. Until 32-bit machines go away, it seems like a good idea to offer 32-bit operating systems.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it sounds like she is under the impression that there should be a 32bit version of 10.5 since there are still 32bit CPUs out there. I think she missed the part where it was made clear that, unlike Windows, 10.5 doesn't need a 64bit and a 32bit version.
Core animation: Not sure what the Vista comparison is here. The demo reminded me of Microsoft Max photo-sharing application. The WWDC developers attending the Jobs keynote didn’t seem wowed with this functionality.
I like how she compares an underlying developer tool with a photo sharing application. . . after seeing a Core Animation powering hundreds of videos while letting the user search through them.
Dashboard with widgets. Isn’t this like the Vista Sidebar with gadgets?

Even blog posts should be looked at by an editor when on a large company website like ZNET.

I have a hunch, that despite her protestations that she wasn't out to pull a Dvorak, she indeed was, and she succeeded.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I really hope this lady reads the comments on her article, especially the one TheWOAT posted.
I wonder if John Gruber is busy typing his next "Jackass of the week" post as we speak
