Mac OS X A French user has discovered that ZFS is now 'officially' supported in Leopard [French], while testing the latest build of Apple's upcoming operating system. Indeed it is now possible to create disk images or partitions formated in ZFS (screen capture included). However, it seems that it is not possible yet to install the OS on a ZFS partition.

points 4 and 5 simply give clarity that Vista is better than OSX.

I am no expert but if Vista is based on Server 2003, then that means I/O performance and VM loads should be handled much better in Vista.

But saying this how different is Apple's server OS?

No desktop version of Windows has ever had adequate interactive performance under high I/O and VM loads. OS X isn't as good as Linux in this regard, but its still better than Windows (which will hiccup even without heavy load).

I've never used a 2k3-based Windows, so it could very well be better. However, good VM and I/O performance still won't fix the brain damage of the UI...
