>There you go. You don't get it. Until you use an iPhone, a Mac, drive a BMW or Audi, you don't even realize how great the experience can be.

Perhaps beside the point, but...I can't be the only one who things that Windows 7 is a vastly better experience than OS X.

Maybe Windows 7 is better than OS X. But to get there, I'm sure the Windows team used OS X extensively to see what it does well, what it does poorly.

Someone who hasn't even tried the best has no way to build something better.

Actually most XP users would still fit this description. Windows 7 is great, but so many people that won't upgrade from XP try to argue that it has the same features, performance, etc., and don't get what makes 7 better.

But you could argue this over many different levels. Hey, some would say that the BMW driver doesn't really know how great it could be until they drive a Rolls Royce or, perhaps, own a private aircraft, etc. Some of it still is perception...
