A real OSX vs. XP deathmatch.
(1/1)
Zombie9920:
This isn't lame like the one@CNet. This one actually lists everything that each OS can('t) do.

I beg to differ; that site is totally lame. "Support for built-in floppy drives"? Yeah, THAT's not a loaded question. Not to mention the number of question marks and incomplete entries for OS X. I also noticed a couple of entries on the OS X column that I'm pretty sure are false.
bcortens:
nope that one is pretty lame too
bubaslubas:
Laughable.
Automatic cleanup/removal of temp files - WinXP yes.
But it keeps a record of all the programs you install and uninstall, and even keeps the installation .exe in a special InstallShield folder.
Firewall - WinXP GUI
Call me a dufus, but I've NEVER seen the firewall. When I set up a new connection, it asks me if I want it firewalled. That's it.
Notably XP wins the battle. I can't state if their evaluation is correct but, curious enough, I find my OS X experience rather easier than with XP.
But they ARE right about two things: XP is a nice OS (despite M$'s effort to render most of it's features useless unless you pay them a few more bucks - take WiMP for instance) and Apple should pack the iDisk software with the OS and not force you to get in on the web.

ha, windows is incapable of erasing your internet files. It keeps them all. Read the really hidden files. it tells you all about it.
