The more things change, the more they stay the same. That??™s what I thought watching coverage of Apple??™s Worldwide Developer??™s conference opening yesterday, where banners that read things like ???Hasta la vista, Vista??? and ???Redmond has a cat, too. A copycat??? hung.
I suppose Apple??™s got reason enough to accuse Microsoft of copying their software. My first impression of Windows Vista was that it??™s a lot like OS X. But doth Apple protest too much? A bunch of features they touted yesterday have been around on other operating systems for awhile, or were just simply yawners (with one exception, in my book.) After the jump, a little side-by-side comparison of Leopard and Vista.
Note: Windows Vista is still in beta, and Apple says they??™re not announcing a lot of new Leopard features because they don??™t want Microsoft to copy them. ???Again.??? That sounds like marketing hype wrapped up in Apple??™s signature superiority, so take it with a grain of salt. But do remember the features listed in this article are not final or complete according to Microsoft and Apple. Also: I love and use both a Mac and a PC.
Backup
Leopard will have Time Machine. Vista??™s got built-in file versioning and XP??™s got System Restore points. Leopard??™s looks prettier, but are they basically the same thing? Probably.
Multiple desktops
Leopard calls them ???Spaces??? (ironically this makes me think of MSN Spaces) but they??™re just virtual desktops, which have been around on Linux since, well, forever. Right now you can get ???em on Windows XP with the Virtual Desktops Power Toy. Eh.
Search
Leopard??™s improving their desktop search, Spotlight, to index network drives, and it??™s supposed to be faster and better overall. Search nerds will particularly appreciate the introduction of Google-like search operators:
