I mean, come on. What sort of marketing sense is this? Paraphrase: there are features in Longhorn that are already implemented in Tiger, years before we decided to code them. What are these “features” anyway? The details of Mac OS X 4 are pretty much set in stone, seeing as they already have a web site (like spotlight). Where are the Longhorn details? Could it be that they are still under development? Meaning they have to wait until they have a finished copy of Mac OS X Tiger before they can reverse engineer the details?
The New York Times > Technology > Apple to Start Selling New Macintosh Operating System:
Tiger adds pressure on Microsoft, which is developing a new version of its Windows operating system called Longhorn. The Microsoft software is reported to have many of the same features as Tiger, but will not be available until next year.
