Interesting Panther review
The Blog From Another Dimension has a nice mini-review of Panther, the next version of Mac OS X. What strikes me most about this release, of course, is how much Apple has stolen from Microsoft: An Expose clone was demonstrated by Microsoft at WinHEC early this year and the new task switcher, Explorer-style Finder, built-in file compression, and fast user switching features are, obviously, stolen straight from Windows, though Apple has added the usual graphical niceties, all of which are rather amusing when you consider how underpowered most Macs are to begin with. But this makes me ponder: Is it enough? Apple seems to live and die on its hyberbole, and there doesn't seem to be much steak to go with the sizzle here.
