I actually liked last years keynote, tiger was a worthwhile upgrade from MacOS X 10.1, due to core video & core audio, seriously they were way too behind in terms of GPU based UI & video acceleration, something the Redmond product already gave in term of Directshow, & directX
But this year, it's hilarious, time machine is "new" ROFL , then I think System Restore from Windows ME time, & Shadow copy of Windows server 2003 which was released 8 & 3 years ago, are already behind, I mean, common apple, even if u copy, don't say u don't. But, some Mac Fanatics will never understand, that it's apple who copied, instead they will say, MS copies
Core Animation is good, Windows has DCOM based animations in Windows XP, but it's not completely GPU driven, so core animation wins cos they are first to do this instead of vista which already is working using Vector based layers from day 1. Apple just bought it first to the market, just like when they copied spotlight & bought it first to the market, charging $130 for it, which was shown in Vista build 3xxx about 3 years ago
Oh! again wait, Avlon, it's been there in Vista from what, 4 years i guess, actully day 1, ever heard of WPF
Oh! wait, spotlight now support searching on networks too, great, i saw this feature first time on Windows & linux, network search has been there from Windows NT era
Finally, Mail 3 has notes, to do & standerd HTML mail/templates, gr8, we Windows users are so missing these features with Outlook XP/2003/2007
ichat, ok, no discussion on this, I never used this & no idea how it works, but surely I like Yahoo messenger 3 for Mac's design (sue yahoo for this)
Spaces is good, as Windows doesn't have Vitual desktops by default, cos we can group similar tasks in the taskbar, something Docks can't do. Now call it copying or borrowing, but i have seen this feature in Linux from a long time already
some mac fanboys said, they have not even shown all the features, mark my words, their won't be anymore, maybe 2 or 3 again copied from MS, & charged $130 again. Seriously, is that how they justify the upgrade cost, this is more like a service pack
oh! Wait, there were 200 new features in Tiger, each dashboard widget was a new feature
Good thing they moved to Xeons, this was a much asked upgrade, in the professional market, now at least we can have similar config based comparisons of these apps, Cinebench anyone...! But still, they are sailing it as a Workstation, with a 7300GT, what a combination, a gaming grade graphics card for a workstation is joke anyway, that too, a lower end gaming grade card, at least Quadro FX 4000 or FireGL would have been better. Their comparison with a dell precision is a joke again, why don't they add a real workstation grade graphics card, which cost a lot more then a $80 7300GT to the Mac & then compare the price, this is completely biased, Quadro FX 5500 itself costs more then $900, or maybe it was Quadro4 500 they compared to, which was relesed 6 years ago
"Looks like we may have a crash. People are mumbling. Relaunches, fails, switches machines." Why was this written there? how can a Mac crash, it's crash proof
by the way, someone said, Vista got Ra*e*, oh yeah sure, this is what they said last year, & the year before that, but, what do we have in here, Windows XP still the most used OS out there
I wanna ask, why Vista got ra*p*d? What are the features in Leopard, which we already didn’t, had in Windows from a looooooooooooooong time. Atleast Redmiond, isn't crapping about competitors to lure customars to them, cos they don't need to. First bring some valid point to argue, isnted of saying "Jalo boy jalo"
& Plz don't troll in this post saying, We windows users are losers, etc, without a
single valid point
