The next 10 slides compare Windows 7 and Mac OS X Leopard user interfaces, noting which does a better job at what. Each slide shows the one I consider to be the winner; you can see the "loser" by clicking the hyperlink within the text description, which opens a separate window so you can see them side by side.
I really enjoyed this review! I am going to link to it on my tech blog (http://tech4eleven.com). It is very interesting. But I have to disagree with your winner for "Uninstall." Mac makes it too easy- just throw it away by dragging it into the trash or click on it and press cmd+delete. Or use AppCleaner to do even a better job.
That's way more simple then pressing start>control panel> search for the app> then press uninstall and go through all the prompts.

Mac users are under the impression that if they delete the application all program is removed this is of course incorrect. When a you drag a program to applications, on first run, depending on the program various files and folders and made in more than one location. Deleting the application leaves these behind which is wasteful and untidy. The windows solution for this with add and remove (program and features vista on) is better and tidier, but not perfect, as anyone who as struggled to uninstall a program will vouch

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.

On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors.
