Story: Apple Mac OS X Tiger: a first look
Posted by: Kevin Hayes (Friday 14 January 2005, 2:31 PM)
Perhaps someone who actually uses a Mac should have written this article. He talks about a few things:
- Migration assistant: For one, it's already in the current MacOS X. And for two, it can use your old computer as an external hard disk and get a solid 400 Mbps connection (or 800 if you have Firewire 800), something a PC cannot do. But in one erroneous sentence the author tries to make it sound as if MacOS is playing catch-up.
- Spotlight - eye-candy? How is instant searching of any content on your computer eye-candy? How is libraries for developers to integrate this functionality within their own apps eye-candy?
- Dashboard - again eye-candy? Come on. Until Longhorn comesout with their stupid sideboard thing, then it'll be another MS innovation, right? Dashboard is simply instant access to the old desk accessories. Yeah, they've been prettied up, but the usefulness is there.
