Posted July 12, 200816 yr "On thing that really troubled me is that at PDC 2003, much of what would ship in Vista was revealed. Some time later Apple implemented very similar features in Tiger - though they were much less well implemented. No real problem there... they are all going to borrow from one another... the bit that was particularly bas was when Apple kicked off the whole "start your photo copiers... " bit when Tiger was about to ship. Similarly, once Vista shipped, Leopard came out and outright copied many elements from Vista's UI/effects and features - again, much less well done than they were in Vista. As an example... Leopard only recently added basic object tagging - something that is really well done and pervasive in Vista. ....There is so much in Vista - from the integrity mechanism that allows third party devs to continue to be sloppy, yet still protect the system, to full support for HDCP content, that it boggles the mind that none of that is well featured in any MS traffic. For example, where oh where is the online streaming media demo of what UAC is, why it is important and how it works? We deployed a Vista system tonight for a long-standing financial services customer... she said: "I can't believe how good this <Vista> is I had heard so much bad about it..." From whom, we asked and she said: "People they're nuts, this is so great!"
