I've gotten a netgear usb wifi to work without any troubles
(W111 I think ??)
I do have airport cards, I just used that as a second adapter to connect to two wireless networks at the same time.
I could be wrong, but as I understood it, Tiger was implementing the ACL as a feature to help tie into active directory not as some "new innovation by Apple".
also with the "grow up" bit, you could say this about pretty much CEO, go to any share holders meeting, or about anywhere else and of course you will hear the CEO's say that their company is the sole of the universe. it's not Jobs being a jerk, it's just how the game is played, how many times have we seen steve balmer make an A$$ of himself ? http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/8/4/15258/17899
I think it should be emphasized that this statement was made a a stock holders meeting, as the representative Jobs needs to sound proactive and "on the ball" while I think MS does have the Apple photocopiers out, remember Steve was saying this in response and to reassure share holders that Apple is ahead of the curve.
interesting & I understand your point, and true that most mac users have to pay for these updates, but remember these are not service pack level updates (that's what the number after the 2nd decimal is for) these are full updates much like arkmannj said from 2000 to XP , or 98 to 2000, that sort of thing. mac "service packs" are free, and keep you up to date (example: 10.3.1 - 10.3.9 all free). I for one don't mind yearly OS updates, keeps the pace good and moving. I wonder if someone should do a "ask slashdot" and see how everyone else feels about yearly / 18 month update cycles versus 3 - 8 year update cycles Again like Arkmannj said, it's a matter of preference, and no one is forcing an upgrade.
I agree with most of what you said
however, I think you are minimizing how great OS X 10.3 is by comparing it to Windows 2000, I understand that you are trying to show a comparison of how much an upgrade 10.3 to 10.4 is, but really, how many "new features" for end users have really been added in windows in the last few versions. Mac OS X has gave new OS enhancements in every update on the core level, developer level AND the user level.
I had not noticed the versioning difference in Win 2K and Win XP before, that is interesting, if true then I can't understand why windows users are calling Tiger a minor update, or point release... hmm hypocrites I guess.
