Apple President calls Windows 7 an “Antiquated technology”

Brian Croll, vice president of Apple’s Mac OS X worldwide product marketing, has criticized Microsoft calling it an “Antiquated Technology”. The remarks comes at the same time as the release of  Windows 7, according to Brian Croll Microsoft users were tired of the “headaches” caused by the Windows operating system, and he expects some disillusioned Windows users to switch to Apple’s Mac platform.

We think this is an opportune time for people to take a look at a Mac. We believe we can get even more people moving over.
Windows 7 is still just Windows. It doesn’t change a lot. It’s still complex, it’s still really expensive when you look at the cost of the upgrade, and there’s still security concerns
It also still requires a lot of assembly. It turns out when you get Windows 7 it doesn’t even have some of the basic applications

Windows 7

like mail or chat, or programs to manage your photos. You actually have to go and find them and download them.

Apple has just shown a remarkable growth in its previous quarters revenues, which indirectly can be attributed to the rise of Mac users. Microsoft is pinning a lot of hope on this new operating system, after the highly criticized Windows Vista.  Windows 7 has been appreciated by a lot of reviewers but its still is a Windows system. For people who have used for Windows and Mac the difference is evident, Microsoft has always been subject to criticism, but still it finds its way into billions of computers world wide. For me Apple will have to do more than this to find its way to replace Windows.
