Mac OS X beats Win XP. Then it doesn't | |

Apple was victorious against Microsoft last week, after CNET ran a Windows XP versus Mac OS X death match, and eventually awarded Mac the trophy. The punch-up was actually a dead heat but Apple won when the judges ruled its upgrade/licensing deal gave it the edge. However, Apple's victory was shortlived, as a quick rethink saw the battle royal reduced to a draw - apparently the Mac OS X upgrade/licensing path is only better value than WinXP's if you pirate the software. While not quite MTV celebrity death match style, the whole affair has a cartoonish air. Ar first, CNET proudly displayed the winner as Mac OS X, which MacCentral quickly picked up on and published. When the judges changed their decision, MacCentral had to post a revision. | ||
