Microsoft's shortcomings and (relative) failures haven't usually come from poor engineering. Vista is an unusual case where people are pointing their fingers at the engineers for slipping the dates by so long , etc. I don't know if that is fair or not. Apple has proven that even bad engineering and technology can be overcome. The first couple of versions of OSX were complete crap. I still their scheduler and threading leave a lot to be desired. But OSX still had enough good ideas in it that you could excuse a lot of the poor execution.

Great point. Also they built their infrastructure on Solaris and are probably organized significantly differently. That’s why I said they may be the exception that proves the rule. Rob. Great point.
