Apple has long accused Microsoft openly that it is copying its Mac OS X operating system with Windows releases. The Redmond company countered on the same note, indicating that there are features on OS X inspired by Windows. In this escalating face-off, Microsoft managed a new move over its rival in Cupertino. It paraded its own breed of "snow leopard," this time the real thing, not just the codename for the next version of Apple's operating system. As you can see from the image on the left, Microsoft featured a snow leopard as a background for its search engine, Live Search.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I have recently bought an iMac and it's like no other computer i had ever used.. on top of their products being extremely well built.. leopard it's so incredibly smooth and fast.. is not that windows can't do what leopard does.. it's just that it's easier, smoother and faster on a mac.
And it is true that MS has copied apple in pretty much everything they've done. Look at windows 7, straight up copy of the dock.. MS is known for this. They simply CANNOT innovate.
Probably the one thing that i love the most is that most programs only take about 2mb, the heavy ones take 10mb, while anything on windows is always around 80mb.. and every time you install something it seems your pc just got slower.. in OS-X everything just seems to work together.. never going back to windows.. i still use it, but only like once a week, (still waiting for MKV2VOB for mac :(
Edit: I'm buying Snow leopard day 1!!
Thats Microsofts problem, they think they own everyone and that they will always be on top.
They underestimate their opponents.
Wait. Is this article seriously about the background picture and little weird quote on a search engine no one uses being a dis against Macs...?
Not a good idea,considering the Zune is a phenomenal flop and Windows 7 is looking to be a minor step up from Vista.
looking forward to getting snow leopard on my macbook. everything windows does is a copy of mac but not as good. windows only has upper hand in gaming in my opinion but i have a windows, unbuntu and mac so i cant go wrong.
