Operative phrase: 18 months, or so. I'm sure MS engineers are diligently working on reverse engineering every aspect of OS X.4, as I type this.
WSJ.com - Walter Mossberg - Tiger Leaps Out in Front
The new Apple system boasts some key capabilities Microsoft won't introduce for another 18 months or so, when it finally rolls out its long-awaited next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn.
...Overall, Tiger is the best and most advanced personal computer operating system on the market, despite a few drawbacks. It leaves Windows XP in the dust.It also adds to the Mac's general superiority over typical Windows computers as the best choice for average consumers doing the most common computing tasks. Apple's hardware already was the best in the business, and Mac OS X has, so far, escaped the virus and spyware problems that plague Windows.
Oh, and Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist are most definitely not on the payroll at Apple.
