It'd be like Chevrolet comparing the Corvette to a Model T and saying Ford relys on 100 year old technology.

Actually, a more apt comparison would be how GM, Ford and Chrysler built crappy cars throughout the 70s and 80s leaving a bad taste in consumers' mouths. As a result, they lost most of their customers to the Japanese. Similarly, consumers have had to live through numerous Windows issues for the last several decades. Along comes Apple to say "We're not PCs". Good marketing? Yes, of course. But it was Microsoft and PCs themselves that gave Apple the opportunity in the first place.

Now that Microsoft finally seems to have gotten its act together with Windows 7, consumers who switched to Apple or are on the fence are saying: "Prove it, since you've screwed me before."
