That they are coping MAC's OS Tiger.

All of those "new" functions have been avialable with MACs current OS for years now.

Once again, Microsoft is lagging behind; I'm guessing their next venture will be an MP3 player!

shark: actually 'longhorn' has been in development for 5 years...it had those features since day one...Tiger just came out first...oh and BTW...Amiga OS 4.0 had all those features back in 1998..

Want a copy? It should run on your MAC..

It is easy to develop an OS for 3% of the market I supose..hehe...

Is 4.0 even out yet? From WIKI:

A new version of AmigaOS is being developed by Hyperion Entertainment under license from Amiga, Inc. The 4.0 version will be a major update a decade after the last official release.

Amiga's website say's it should have been ready for a 2005 release, but they don't have a date or any real info on it.

It sure it, more so when the company putting it out thinks of it's users first.

And they control 5% after this last quarter.

Looks like Vista is going to be delayed again:

The launch of the consumer version of Windows Vista, Microsoft's new operating system, could be pushed back past the stated January launch date, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said today.

The operating system was due to be launched this year but in March the company said it wouldn't get broad release until January 2007. Ballmer said Wednesday that the planned January launch may slip further based on feedback from a beta release program and the product road-maps of hardware vendors.

Ouch.

I'll stick to Tiger and Linux, but thanks Mr. Gates, for the thought:)
