During his Macworld Keynote, “Mr. Jobs dropped a pair of software bombshells sure to thrill Mac fans, and infuriate Microsoft. First, he introduced a Web browser called Safari (a free download at [url=http://www.apple.com]http://www.apple.com[/url], for Mac OS X only). Its three most important features are speed, speed and speed, loading Web pages in a third the time of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Next, he introduced Keynote, a presentation program like – or, rather, unlike – Microsoft’s PowerPoint. The new Apple program is a graphics powerhouse, not as full-featured as PowerPoint but with far superior typographical and visual effects,” write David Pogue for the NY Times.

What a stupid headline.
What a stupid headline.

A misleading headline and an article that doesn’t deliver any substance. Like Microsoft is even threatened by a product that doesn’t run on Windows. If anything they will see what “Keynote” does well and incorporate those features into the next version of Power Point.
misleading headline.
note to editor: readers don’t like to be tricked
I agree. I really don’t think M$ will care about a nonWindows presentation software. Keynote does beutiful graphics, but most people use PowerPoint to display text. Better than this, it is also PowerPoint compatable. I see this as a DreamWeaver like product. Many developers use DreamWeaver to jazz-up a FrontPage webpage, or use FrontPage to add proprietary M$ features to a DreamWeaver page. I think we’ll soon see the same symbiotic relationship between Keynote & PowerPoint. As for Safari, I love (and collect) various browsers, hopefully Safari will be added to this heap. However, the stiff system requirements, lack of tabs, lack of word-click Google searchs (like some Opera versions), and general newnes/ ruffness will keep it from being a killer browser. Of course M$ IE doesn’t have any of these features, but I keep using it regularly since some sites will only work with IE 4 (and above), or Netscape v.4. My school’s website is like this. So I cannot possibly see what M$ would care about eitherSW product…
Agreed. A stupid headline. Totally misleading.
i agree… stupid and misleading headline. Like M$ even gives a sh*t.
I guess people didn’t like this site’s headline. ;-p
Great headline! It got all of your attention, didn’t it?
So what’s a headline supposed to do?
Yours sincerely,

Not a bad headline, but an interesting article. Steve was interrupted 128 times by applause? can you spell sycophants? I bet it is easier for Steve to get a free blowjob than it ever was for Bill (Clinton). Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple’s innovation, and appreciate using their technology once the wintel people figure out how to steal it and sell it for half price, all the while using an o/s that does not obsolete my hardware after a couple years.
