Windows Journalist Takes On Tiger

Posted by Zonk on from the you-can-have-more-than-one-OS-in-the-house dept.

BRSQUIRRL writes "Paul Thurrott has posted a review of Mac OS X 'Tiger' on his SuperSite for Windows. He gives it a score of 4 out of 5. Interesting to get a Microsoft Windows journalist's take on Tiger, especially one as hardcore as Thurrott. In the article, he actually confesses that he has 'been a Mac fan [his] entire life.' Interesting, considering some of his criticism of Apple's work in the past."

    "the platform is x86"

    That doesn't appear on any boxes of software I see in the stores. Windows is the platform, and everybody on that platform is dancing to Microsoft's tune.

    What a bunch of horseshit. OS X has more in common with Longhorn than with Win XP. In fact that's where MSFT is stealing Longhorn features from, down to the frickin' analog clock. And Longhorn is what, 1.5 years away (which in reality probably means either 2 years or major feature cuts)?
