Well my opinion is that Longhorn is going to be user friendly, but not as much as Tiger...sadly...but i heard its going to have some neat features (multiple moniter support built in ?) so i hope for more neat functionality like that in Longhorn

tiger is going to be just another step towards osXI which will be amazing. Longhorn isn't even going to be much like xp at all in that it is built for a media minded consumer and will be specialized in everyday use areas like the internet, movies and music, word processing and printing, photo editing, and stuff like that. Longhorn also wont be out till near the end of 2006 according to most reports by microsoft project managers for longhorn recently.
i REALLY still want to see actual proof that SCP really did just hack CP/M to get QDOS, I am so sceptical because Kildal has a very big reputation of lies and attempts to undermine the newly born home computing industry before microsoft even came onto the market...
This question for me would be a little tricky to answer because I like both. I have 2 PC running Windows XP PRO in one and WMC in the other, and also an old G3 running Panther. I enjoy working with both OS's but I have to accept that I like working with Windows better and I love the Panther UI and some of its new components like the dock, scripts, and expose. In the other side, most of the software out there is designed to work on Windows. It is a good thing that now that is changing at a slow rate. So, the question now is:
What do you think about the outcomes of Longhorn vs Tiger?
Definitely, Tiger is coming first and perhaps Longhorn will copy some of its elements. What do you think about it?
he is referring to some of the erroneous reports of features of longhorn that are supposed to be rip offs of osx features, but really there is only going to be one thing that is remotely close and that is going to be the longhorn desktop sidebar that will do some of the same sorts of tasks as the osx dock, but it will be plenty different. I don't get all of the stupid reports of how longhorn will be nothing more than a mac ripoff when it wont be abything close to that.
I agree, I don't ever see Microsoft try and make their OS as "posh" as mac is. I mean Apple do a lot to make thier computers much more "pretty" but Windows seems more inclined towards functionality than looks.
well the new desktop setup for Longhorn is going to be rather posh as you put it, but not with the same type of style as apple does, which is a good thing.
winXP is a great OS and Longhorn is going to be a HUGE improvement on it both in the backend and in the GUI. I'm just worried about one thing with Longhorn... It doesn't look like it will be as skinnable as xp is.
