There's no doubt, Vista and Leopard are both extremely advanced, feature rich consumer operating systems. But way back in January when Vista launched knew we had little choice but pit the two in a head to head chartngraph Thunderdome competition. We know we're not even going to be able to stop the epic fanboy arguments about break out over this one, so we just ask that you try to keep it fair. Leopard vs. Vista: it's on.
NOTE: The chart is only for out of box features, and does not take into account 3rd party software. We realize that with a few choice apps this chart would look completely different -- but that's not what we're after here.

- Green indicates a category with more and/or better features, and generally a better user experience.
- Red indicates that a category not quite up to snuff. Either it doesn't yet exist in the OS or it just sucks more than the alternative.
- † (dagger) indicates a category we think are too subjective or not similar enough to judge. These do not have any clear winner.
- ‡ (double dagger) indicates a category that is in many ways subjective, but that we feel one category is still ahead. Your own tastes may vary.
- Notes help out with a little background, where appropriate.

I have to agree. Some feature really are just user preference.
I still consider both to be mostly bloatware anyways.
I keep the snipping tool in my quick launch bar, so I just have to hit Windows+6 to do it.
And it's just the PrtScn key or Alt+PrtScn (for a particular screen print of a window) in Windows, no app needed. Actually it's been there for every version of Windows, I believe (can't remember in 3.1).
its clearly much better than itunes and crappy quicktime.
oh it's engadget... nvm
Although, I feel iTunes does more in a much more clean and easy to use manner, great for noobs!
I would prefer getting raw OS and install tools I like tough.
Also, "Activation" and "System registry" could/should have just been left out.
I've not use Leopard yet, but Tiger and Vista each have their strengths and weaknesses. Thus, keeping score is kind of funny and is used to stir fan boy fights.
