Panther vs Longhorn
Authored by: porkchop_d_clown on Sep 26, '03 09:47:39PM

Panther is supposedly going to be competing with Longhorn. What does it have in the way of database filesystem features?

Please remember that Longhorn won't be out for another year - the earliest the rumor mill puts it is August 2005. the only reason anyone claims Panther and Longhorn are "competing" is because M$ is spreading FUD about how great Longhorn will be when it ships - "Why by a mac now, when you can wait 18 months and get Longhorn!"

I think this whole "competition" thing started a while back when someone stated that Apple's aggressive upgrade schedule of a new major release each year was letting them steal a march on M$. Her point was that by the time Longhorn was ready to ship, Apple would have already released Panther plus whatever follows Panther.
