Why Panther May Tear Up Longhorn

Posted by pudge on from the because-it-doesn't-exist dept.

Sophrosyne writes "Microsoft Watch has presented an article on Longhorn, which is due not before 2005, and compares it with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), which may be released this September. The article touches on some of the areas where Windows is ahead in operating system design and technologies, as well as how Panther plans to compete. Included in Microsoft Watch's article were links to a Extreme-Tech article on Desktop compositing, and 3D User Interfaces. It also contains videos of Longhorn's 3D Quartz-like user interface in action." If processor power is so important, why are we so willing to waste it on making windows do funny things when we move them around? Just wondering.

    So ONE law firm in ONE part of the world is capable of pulling it off. Gee no wonder it's a 2% market share. Get over it dumb shit, Macs don't cut it in the office.
