Quote from an article on TechNewsWorld



"On Friday Apple released its "Tiger" operating system into the marketplace. Borrowing heavily from what we had seen in Longhorn (Microsoft's next version of Windows) last year, Tiger is an impressive piece of work. I'm not one of those who thinks that using a competitor is a bad idea, particularly if you can get it out first. You play this game to win and, as long as it's legal, in my book anything goes."



this also:

"Another is virtual folders. This allows you to group files virtually by author, topic, or other criteria making them a lot easier to find. Finally there is the use of widgets, something you can get in a third-party product called "Window Blinds" and also shown last year by Microsoft. This allows you to put little useful applets on your screen. This last is more eye candy than anything else, but I like it and it makes the OS look cool."

    I thought he gave major props to OS X, he just did not have all his facts straight.

    How do you "borrow" from something that's not out for another year?



    Apple's likely to have been working on Tiger for 2 years and longhorn wasn't shown enough to steal anything.



    I won't click that link. The Mac community has built thurROT up too much. I'm tired of his antics and bad tech knowledge. He's a joke.

    That's not Thurrot, that's Enderle.
