The Onion Offers Feature Comparison of Snow Leopard and Windows 7

by , 3:00 PM EST, November 10th, 2008

Satire icon The Onion has published a feature comparison, or perhaps we should call it a "feature comparison," between Apple's next iteration of Mac OS X, known as "Snow Leopard" or Mac OS X 10.6, and Microsoft's recently announced Windows 7.

The Onion looks at such crucial areas as where each will best be used -- "lame coffee shop" for Snow Leopard and "weird Euro-Internet café" for Windows 7 -- and whether or not they have the "ability to run Snood and porn at the same time" -- "Good" for Snow Leopard and "a little choppy, but definitely doable" for Windows 7.

There are several more categories of comparison in the full article. Enjoy.

This is a good read! A couple of the most funny categories: "problem it fixes", and "touch screen/ touch screen capabilities that work".

That cracked me up re: the touch screen. Caught me off-guard.
