Playing catchup to Free BSD, Open BSD and Linux. :) There are some features in Windows that Apple has been playing catchup on since 1995... But overall I'd call it a draw. I remember the first OS 8 ads claiming several "new" features that Win95 had first. > It's shame, that's for sure. Yes, a shame that Apple tried to go in so many directions at once in the immediate pre-Jobs Return period. The direction of the company was a muddle, practically every new Mac model had a completely different design team and there was the madness of creating "different" models based upon what software shipped with them. Wasn't it Packard Bell that started that dumb idea? I always called them "Packaged Hell". ;) ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
