Mighty Leopard, or a corner-sitting CAT?

Rumors were all over the net, finally Mac OS X Leopard came into market with swinging it's black spotted yellow tail on 26th October. Mac lovers rushed to get there copy from Mac shops and also got in there home delivered. They installed it, gasped in astonishment, jumped in joy to see "300+ New Features", and blah blah blah blah ....

Apple is gaining a quick share in the market recently, and they are thinking that the "All New Mac Leopard, The Best Operating System Ever (Never)" will make there market crazy for a share market bull-run. But all aside, the reality is Leopard is not going to make a big impact in computing. It is touted as the "Vista-killer", but no point in adopting a Uber-cool Macintosh Computer to run only a BIG CAT-Y (similar to fishy) OS. Anyone have to shell out a minimum of $1199 to buy a decent iMac to run Leopard with all it's "glory". By the way a Vista Ultimate costs $355 and a Vista Aero capable computer with a moderate performance is for sell on $750, totaling $1105 only.Boot Camp recently allowed Vista to run on Mac, only to support windows' popularity. The Vista PC can run Leopard, if you wish to. Big mouth Steve shouts that Mac is tooooo reliable to run, while Vista came with more distinguished security capabilities. Vista's search is all faster if not more than Mac's. And after all Mac's don't have a huge custom software base like Windows's. Summing all up, it clearly states that a Vista PC is way ahead from it's Leopard MAC counterpart.
