It isn't really that hard to figure out. People make decisions every day
based on old information that may no longer be accurate, but the resulting
the decision could still be. For example, suppose someone decides to buy a
BMW because it allows them to connect their IPod in a nice way and no other
car has that feature. At some point in the future other cars may have that
feature, but the person continues to buy BMWs anyway. Does the person have
to compare the features of the BMW to all other cars to be informed? No, the
person can make a gut decision that the real reason BMW was chosen in the
first place wasn't for that once feature, but the fact that BMWs tend to
have innovative features first.
Macs have long had a history of being first and Windows has had a long
history of copying everyone else's good ideas. Do I know how each and every
feature in Mac OS X compares with Windows 2003? No, because at a high level
it is obvious where the innovation is. Longhorn sounds like it will have
lots of good stuff, but Tiger will have it first.

I wasn't really trying to convince you. I've interacted with you enough to
know that you have no intention of avoiding Microsoft.
