MS Watch: Panther vs. Longhorn: The Rematch

Microsoft Watch has posted 'Panther vs. Longhorn: The Rematch,' which attempts to clear some of the confusion generated by the first article: " Specifically, some readers took issue with what they described as an apples-and-oranges comparison between the Panther version of Mac OS X (a k a Version 10.3 and due to reach developers in June and end users this fall) and the Longhorn upgrade to Windows (which won't ship until 2005). But that's precisely the point: If Apple sticks to a yearly cycle of product updates between now and 2005, it will be going on Mac OS X 10.5 by the time Longhorn delivers GUI enhancements and other features designed to take on Mac OS X 10.2. Even if Redmond comes through with all of the capabilities it's predicting, it will still be choking on dust kicked up by an additional couple of Mac OS X revs."

Good; by the time MS realises that Apple's beaten them to a bloody pulp, it'll be too late.

...and I thought Shchiller was quoted as saying the 'cycle' was 1-1/2 to 2 years 'as in the past' - so debatably we will have paid twice for beta OSware...? Even at this date I am ACTUALLY debating heading back to OS-9 because it is so much faster & everything works...
XP has been remarkably trouble free for me...

apple may not be on their radar, but apple must be in headlites since microsoft always seem to come out with a microsoft version of apple ideas soon after apple.
bah. go back to hanging out with people that take pride in calling themselves microsoft employees.

Fact that they copied from the term Mac Evangelists shows their mentality.
