Apple slams Windows 7, terms it as complex and expensive.

Today is Windows 7 launch day. What better day than this for Apple to come out and criticize Windows 7? Brian Croll, Apple’s vice president of OS X worldwide product marketing described Windows 7 as complex and expensive.  Hold on for a second, there is a problem right there! Windows 7 is expensive? Snow Leopard may have a cheap price tag but it has an expensive hidden price tag, since you have to purchase a Mac computer with an Intel processor to be able to use Snow Leopard.

A couple of days back, Apple announced its Magic Mouse. Later on, it was discovered in the  Magic Mouse user guide, that the upcoming Mac OS 10.6.2 will have built-in features for the Magic Mouse. This news got my attention and I just wondered will Apple be releasing Mac 10.6.2 on 22nd October in an attempt to take people’s attention away from Windows 7 launch event? If there were any doubts regarding the arrival date for Mac 10.6.2, all of them can be put aside as 9to5Mac reports that the OS update appears bug free (as per the test results) and looks all set to arrive today.
