Mac OS X vs Longhorn
hm_murdock:
ya.
besides, I don't think either method is better than the other. Apple has tried and true methods, and they stick to them. there's no reason to change things beyond appearance and polish, because the methods WORK.
MS isn't fucking up, task-based UIs aren't "bad"... they're honestly a little better for first time users, as they feel like "oh, it's holding my hand"... but task UIs are gonna be annoying for power users, I think. And it's also going to be frustrating for people in the middle-ground who know what they're doing, but don't power use. they'll think "man, I'm sick of wizards treating me like a noob"
both methods work, and work equally well. neither one is any more or less viable than the other.
and LH still isn't anywhere near being ready to look at. by Beta 1, we'll be able to see where it's heading.

Yeah. It will further distance Windows backwards from Mac OS X.

You don't get my point. I'm trying to challenge what the writer of that article said when he wrote:
quote: It's a classic desktop operating system that doesn't offer anything in the way of usability advancements over previous desktop operating systems

I can barely stand reading it.

The point is, is that these people have no valid arguments against Mac OS X. It has some disadvantages this is true. But the pros out weigh the cons on the mac os.
