Windows Live Essentials กับ iLife เทียบกันจะๆ ใครเจ๋งกว่ากัน ?

ไมโครซอฟท์ได้ที ปล่อยหน้าเว็บมากัดแอปเปิลอีกแล้ว คราวนี้มากัดชุดโปรแกรม iLife ของ Apple โดยเอา Windows Live Essentials ของตนมาเปรียบเทียบ (เพิ่งเปิดตัว Windows Live Essentials 2011 Beta 2 ไปเมื่อสองวันก่อน) โดยได้หยิบโปรแกรมแต่ละตัวใน iLife  กับ Windows Live Essentials  มาเทียบกันแบบตัวต่อตัว ผลจะเป็นอย่างไรดูได้ตามตารางเลยครับ

ยังไม่หมดนะครับดูตารางเปรียบเทียบต่อได้ที่ http://windowslivepreview.com/essentials/compare/

ไมโครซอฟต์กดขนาดนี้ ไม่รู้ว่าแอปเปิลจะตอบโต้อย่างไร :D
