Developers are still very much focused on Tiger and did not learn much more about Leopard at this week’s Apple developer conference. However, they did hear Jobs say the newest Mac OS X will be released at roughly the same time as Windows Longhorn, which is Microsoft’s biggest OS upgrade since Windows XP.
Makes you wonder if Stevie boy is totally focused on increasing marketshare over 10% and if so will he accomplish his goal. I am not going to make any predictions since I am always wrong, but I do know next year will be very interesting with Leopard, Longhorn and Mac on Intel.
If everything goes according to my plans, I’ll be one of the persons helping Apple go past 10%. As for Longhorn, I’ll probably get a pirated distro to try on my main computer, but on this laptop I think I won’t go past XP.
Placing it vs. Longhorn is great for PR, as the popular press will like to make it a great “battle for the computers”!
Just like the console ‘battles’.
“Microsoft’s biggest OS upgrade since Windows XP” – hmm.. Did I miss something?
Yes strange, I think they mean Windows 95…
