OS X and Vista in an Elizabethan Duel
In amusing news today, CNET UK delivers a feisty look at OS X vs Vista – Elizabethan Duel style. Imagine if the Bard himself took a stab at the rivalry, backed up by his acting troupe in tights and full regalia, and you’ve got the picture. not just any tights, either, but spandex. The characters in this little drama? Baron Vista (in orange), Count OS X (in black) and the person whose attentions they vye for – Maiden Mainstream.
The operating systems are in a duel for Maiden Mainstreams attentions, complete with medievil tasks to complete to the jousting judges satisfaction. The tournament of operating systems has them completing the tasks side by side for comparison. May the best OS win!
Their task is to win the hand of the fair Maiden Mainstream, played as in olden times by the hairy bloke in the dress. They’ll be trying to woo ‘her’ by completing a series of old-world challenges. The outcomes are determined by how good each OS’ security, performance and usability aspects are.
Is OS X trendier, easier and safer than the competition? Or is Vista the new king of the hill? Which one gets the chick? The battle lines have been drawn, gloves have been slapped across faces — it’s time for a smackdown, Shakespeare style.
