Re: Vista

I thought the article was interesting as there is a lot of
anticipation about what will be in Vista.
 
And as Windows/PC users, there will be a concerted effort to migrate
you to that platform.

I would agree that a lot of the things described are not NECESSARY
for an OS.
 
Much of that, the Dashbord widgets, Spotlight, and Expose, are handy
and i use them ever so often on my laptop that has Tiger installed.
As for my other macs, that I haven't upgraded to Tiger and doesn't
have any of these extras, they still work fine and i don't miss them.
But I wouldn't call them a necessity.
 
(However i DO use and have used iPhoto to create several books of my
photographs. Pretty nice for an application that came with my computer.)

I think until more people have copies of Vista, we won't know what is
going on under the hood.
