Wow, this article takes some shots at some big releases. No holds barred! Given we waited five years for Vista, that was a pretty big disappointment, but the iPhone? A disappointment? Have you looked at the customer satisfaction statistics? 82% reported being "very satisfied". That hardly sounds like a disappointment.

And I quote, "Apple's response was pretty lame, too; a partial credit that couldn't be used for a lot of popular items (such as iTunes)."

This statement is not entirely correct. If people would like to use the credit for iTunes music downloads, all they would have to do is purchase a music gift card.

Now, yes Apple has its reputation at as a customer based company, however, it is also gradually becoming an industry giant. A companies biggest goal is to earn money. Apples move here was terrific. They knew that people would purchase the phone if it was 600 dollars, or 200 dollars. They priced it higher, to pay for production and engineering costs and when that was payed off, they lowed the price to a more suitable one. The Apple credit was another sweet move. It not only brings people back to the apple stores (online or retail) but it gives Apple the opportunity to make more money, which is their goal in the first place.

Think before you speak PCWorld.

This list is exceptionally stupid. What is it based on? Certainly not sales or reviews. The iPhone and Leopard were universally praised despite minor flaws. Office 2007's interface is new, and it's great. Don't even get me started on the HiDef war, in which Microsoft bought off Paramount (for $150 million) to back its format (HD-DVD), which has been getting outsold 3 to 1 for a year now. The HD-DVD camp is responsible for this one. They've lost and they don't know it.

Certainly Vista and Unbox are worthy list items, but the others show the author(s) simply has no idea what he's talking about.

No critique of Vista is complete without a criticism of Leopard. That's a requirement of Microsoft's.

Leopard is a great operating system. But if you never used a Mac and only listened to the swift-boating blogosphere, you wouldn't know it.

Dan Tynan, please get your facts straight. This laptop runs circles around the MBP http://www.rjtech.com/d900c.htm

You can't be going around making fastest statements without proper testing. Hell the best avocados I've tasted were from walmart but I've only had them from one other store. Is that an accurate statement? No of course not.

Office 2007 is one of the best upgrades and best sets of applications I've ever used. Its place on this list is an absolute joke, and anyone who has used the suite for an extended period of time knows this. Outside of the ribbon making it incredibly easier to do...well....everything, it's so much easier to make professional-looking documents too.

The Microsoft hate in this magazine is nothing short of reprehensible. Zune a disappointment, and you go on to say it's only because of sales? Give me a break. The Zune 2's new features being back-ported to the old Zunes has been heralded as one of the best moves that Microsoft has ever made.

And the #1 product for 2007...UBUNTU
