First, Vista vs. Leopard

That didn't take long. The new Mac OS X (affectionately nicknamed Leopard) hit the shelves on Friday at 6pm. Engadget has put together a nice little infographic comparing features and tallying it up to see which comes out ahead. No surprises here. It's Leopard by a whisker (it's so not cool to admit Microsoft may actually have a better product. 90 something percent of us that use Windows and Office - well, we're just masochists I suppose).

I'd like to see XP thrown into that review.

Microsoft vs. Google

This round definitely goes to Microsoft. The 'softies just pulled off buying a major stake in Facebook to the tune of $240 million right out from under Google's nose. $240 mil, heck that probably came from loose change found in the break room sofa cushions at the Redmond campus. If nothing else comes of it, it was worth tweeking Google's nose for that.

It will be interesting to see what does come of it. What happens to Facebook? What happens to Google? Will it try to build up Orkut, it's social networking site that so far only plays in South America. It's hard to imagine Google sitting this one out - the social networking niche that is.

Stay tuned... more rounds to come.
