Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther
Anonymous Coward writes "A Windows user slams Panther. 'Apple has implemented some basic desktop composition features in Mac OS X "Panther." But the basic problem with Mac OS X isn't going away: It's a classic desktop operating system that doesn't offer anything in the way of usability advancements over previous desktop operating systems. Today, Windows XP and its task-based interface are far superior to anything in Mac OS X. In the future, Longhorn will further distance Windows from OS X. (sic) From a graphical standpoint, there won't be any comparison. As Microsoft revealed at the PDC 2003 conference, Longhorn is far more impressive technically than Panther.'"
my jaw dropped

"some guy" wrote that he thinks Macs suck. Big deal. Why does slashdot continue to post this drivel, other than to rile people up and make them vent their frustrations with one platform or the other? The guy is obviously foaming at the mouth - yeah, he makes for a "good story" (kinda like those LA car chases) but he's so incredibly biased in one direction (and seemingly trying to convince himself that he's completely right) that his drivel doesn't amount to much.
Each platform has its strengths and weaknesses. Everyone should do as much as possible to educate themselves about EVERYTHING OUT THERE, instead of just trying to align themselves with one and bash the others. It's as if their identity is defined by their platform of choice. Go outside; meet some people; go travel the world; get a life - don't pin your self worth on some piece of crap software someone wrote.
me? I use an iBook w/ Panther, a newly upgraded WinXP desktop on an Athlon 2500+, a dual-proc 450MHz PII Netware 6 server, a Linux server, etc. Use the tool that's right for the job.
... that software coming out in 18 months time or so is superior to today's offerings.
