Comparing Tiger and Vista Beta 1
UltimaGuy writes "This article is an excellent comparison between the features of Apple Tiger and Windows Vista Beta 1. The point it raises - 'Windows Vista Beta 1 is a much-needed demonstration that Microsoft can still churn out valuable Windows releases, after years of doubt. For Mac OS X users, however, Windows Vista Beta 1 engenders a sense of déjà vu."
Here's a hint: when you write an article comparing operating systems, don't compare useless shit like FILE SEARCHING.
It's boring and provides no insight to the OS itself. Really now, how often do you use windows file search to locate something?
Why do people act like this is an essential thing to have? I know the old windows file searching is slow, but if you're releasing a new OS, focus on something more useful and relevant, like system stability, or these mysterious "new features" that Microsoft is claiming to have made.
So far the only new "feature" is the skin, which really doesn't look all that great... oh, and the improved file searching (big whoop).
What I want to know is: what's so good about Vista? Why does Microsoft claim that Vista is the next big thing on par with going from 3.1 to 95?
Oh, DRM so media companies can insure that others don't pirate their stuff? That affects me HOW, exactly?
So far I've heard a lot of talk, but nothing to back it up with.
We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
You can install OSX on x86 platforms! Until Apple is finally successful in legally forcing users to take down the directions, you can install OSX on your x86 platform right now!
You may not be able to buy it off the shelf yet... but the overwealming popularity of people's interest in installing OSX on intel boxes shows that x86 people are interested in "the other side."
