Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger

Posted by Zonk on from the catch-the-thingie-by-the-tail dept.

tezbobobo writes "Tiger been out hours and already the Apple download page has been updated to take advantage of the update's new features. These cover areas including Spotlight plugins, Dashboard plugins, and Automator plugins. These allow a range of actions from searching within omnigraph documents (spotlight), to resizing photoshop documents (automator), and (my fav) a dashboard wireless locator. The best bit -- a cursory glance indicates about half are freeware."

    No, dashboard is just konfabulator. Damn near the same product, as far as I can tell. It is somewhat controversial for that reason.

    I guess we're seeing another difference between M$ and Apple. M$ sees a product they like, and they buy out the company and rewrite the history books to make it look like a M$ product. Apple... just steals the idea and doesn't bother paying for it?
