Okay, firstly, Leopard is an awesome OS, but this is absolutely disgusting on Apple's part:

Looks like it is going from, "I'm a PC and I'm a Mac" to "I am a Vista and I'm a Leopard".
Can't believe Apple is filled with such cocky bas****s who make good software.
You'll probably be seeing Apple's newest "Vista Sucks, OS X Rules Your Face" ad, starring hilarious John Hodgman and perpetually besmirked Justin Long all over the web soon. Basically, the banner keeps pulling up bad Vista quotes as Hodgman hammers the emergency banner refresh, but neither of them are from actual reviews of Vista—even though that's what Hodgman calls them. CNET's blurb about Vista being one of tech's "biggest blunders" is actually from an op-ed (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9785337-7.html?tag=nefd.only) that Microsoft should dump the OS entirely, while the PC Mag snippet is the title of a column (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2254104,00.asp) from January that proffers ways for Microsoft to start-over.
It's not a mind-blowing factual error to say the quotes are from reviews, or even that disingenuous—attack ads usually involve a roll in the mud—but it's worth pointing out there's a difference between a position and an actual review. Not to say that the spots aren't amusing—John Hodgman is a riot. Oh, and we're certain its debut the same week as Vista SP1's is a total coinky-dink.
