I honestly used to think that Paul Thurrott was a bit of a Microsoft shill, but actually reading through his latest article on Windows Vista Beta 1 vs. Mac OS X "Tiger" (part 2 looking at security, network and power management features), he actually seems to know what he's talking about. It probably also helps that his views are pretty much in line with mine in this particular case (that is, OS/X is far ahead in many respects). He comes up with some other thoughts that I haven't seen on windows oriented sites, such as the fact that vista seems to be getting more complicated to use instead of less.
