Star Whatever Happened to... Mac OS X Leopard?
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 8th Aug 2006 19:23 UTC
Mac OS X Paul Thurrot, everybody's favourite Microsoft Apple Microsoft zealot, writes on his webpage: "It's funny. Apple calls Microsoft a copy-cat, and yet, I feel like I've seen some of these features somewhere before. Many of the features, however, are just sad. Is this really the best they had to show off right now?" El Reg agrees with him, saying: "On the basis of the evidence so far the sixth release of Mac OS X is, to put it bluntly, a point release." Update by ELQ: A related editorial by Wired.

Oh really? Could you give us some examples from Vista perhaps? Because what I'm seeing is Microsoft catching up on 5 years worth of features, many of which OS X and Linux have had for years, and not even bothering to make cosmetic changes to differntiate themselves much less create new, innovative interfaces.

Microsoft's GUIs have always been their absolutely most horrible area and it's where Mac OS X has always shined. Lowering the opacity of your windows isn't enough.

Well, there's the ability to use those memory sticks to supplement existing RAM. That'll come in handy.

And support for hybrid disk drives.

Sideshow - software gadgets that can be loaded onto secondary displays such as clip-off remotes and the like.
