This is a screenshot from cnet news, with an embedded video of Steve Jobs announcing OS X Leopard at WWDC yesterday. The caption for the video reads:

Jobs takes jab at Vista
At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, CEO Steve Jobs takes a swipe at Microsoft by announcing Leopard is being released in different versions–all at the same price.
(If I have to explain why this is hysterical, it’s no longer funny.)
To add insult to injury, note the sponsorship of the video by Microsoft.

To be fair, the sponsorship video that precedes the main video rotates among different advertisers. It just happened to be Microsoft’s turn when I viewed the page. Think they got their money’s worth?








At the keynote, Hodgman (“I’m a PC”) said (as fake steve jobs), “Vista is performing so well — it sold tens of dozens of copies. Leopard was going to get lost in all that Wow.” (according to Engadget live webcast).
That was stupid. Does he have any idea how many copies they sold? I remember reading reports of huge numbers. Regardless of the nearly universal disdain for Vista’s first release, they sold a crapload of them.
40 millions copies in the first 100 days apparently. C’mon, the intro video was still funny
