"clueless Windows fan" who still complains about the Mac's one button mouse

My G4 came with the single "button," tho I upgraded to a cordless mouse and am used to its right button and scroll wheel. I do now recall reading that Tiger has a much more complex mouse . . .

And I too loved that comparison of three mouse clicks to one mouse click and two typed instructions.

Is there anything to the claim he makes that Vista lays a serious foundation for applications development and for new hardware? Even if so, I suppose that the proper comparison will not be to Tiger but to Leopard, assuming that comes out on schedule.

"On the other hand, Vista's short-term success is anything but assured, and Microsoft may still be able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If it continues to cling to its vision of DRM and User Account Control, if it continues to behave as if it had a divine right to 90 percent market share, Microsoft will create a situation that makes inroads by other OSes inevitable.

With what I've read of Vista'a DRM scheme, which appears to have been spec'ed by the media conglomerates and RIAA, this issue alone may be the stumbling block to sales.
