"With its new operating system ready to ship, Apple felt justified in kicking some sand in Microsoft's face. Its marketers crowed about how its new Mac OS X release included features that Microsoft could only talk about while it continued to work on its own long-delayed successor to Windows XP," Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols writes for The Washington Post. "That was a problem for Microsoft -- in 2003, when Apple was talking up Mac OS X 10.3, a k a Panther. Now, two years later, things haven't changed much," Vaughan-Nichols writes. "A new Apple update, OS X 10.4, or Tiger, is on store shelves while that XP replacement -- nicknamed Longhorn for now -- is still, well, not here." "Longhorn is now scheduled to arrive during the 2006 holiday season. Originally, it was to show up sometime in 2004. It was also supposed to have a lot more features in its original incarnation," Vaughan-Nichols writes. "...Instead of the biggest, baddest operating system ever, skeptics see Longhorn as Windows XP Service Pack 3." | ||
