At its developer conference in San Francisco on Monday, Apple announced that the next version of Mac OS X will not be ready till the first half of 2007.
Even as its steers developers toward the forthcoming edition of Windows, Microsoft is building tools to write applications for the Mac OS and the Web.
If there's one company that stands to benefit from the delay of Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system, it's Apple Computer, analysts said.
Microsoft will bring some of the graphics destined for Windows Vista to the Macintosh, phones and older versions of Windows next year through a user interface toolkit.
Even though Windows XP has been on the market for more than three years, Microsoft is hoping a new advertising campaign will 'start something' when it comes to enthusiasm for the operating system.

Microsoft and Apple Computer are searching for the same thing with their next operating systems: a better way to find stuff on an increasingly cluttered hard drive.
Microsoft has removed some of the functionality from the next version of Windows to bring forward the release date, which could make the decision to upgrade even more difficult for some companies.
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

Microsoft has more to do on its new operating system, but this first beta suggests that Windows Vista could be up to par with Linux and Apple Mac OS X.
