Longhorn on Tiger's tail ... ??
Heating up the battle
Saturday, April 30, 2005 by Black Xero | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Longhorn and Tiger were the topics of this week. In this week, Microsoft showed off some of the beef to expect in Longhorn and Apple Computer unleashed Tiger.
The Battle Ground
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates gave computer makers a brief look at Longhorn, but acknowledged that many of its key features will not be evident until much later test versions of the new Windows. A fraction of the new features will make it into an initial beta this summer. Microsoft wouldn't say when a subsequent beta, with more new features, will arrive, but Gates said the company is still focused on trying to release the final version of Longhorn in time to make it into PCs sold for the holiday season in 2006
While Microsoft was showing us what we could expect next year, Apple released its new operating system, Mac OS X 10.4, or more simply--Tiger.
The highly anticipated launch attracted crowds to Apple stores worldwide. Apple used the release to launch the new Apple store in Birmingham, England--only the second in Europe. While the store didn't attract opening crowds of the size seen at its brethren store to the south in London last November, Birmingham's Bullring shopping center saw its share of Mac fans camping out for the grand opening of Apple's retail outlet there on Friday.

Surely you mean 10.4? i have see that tiger dosnt include ilife it only comes on a new machine. I would imagine that it says on the box whats included?! (ie ilife) personly whenever i upgrade apps, os's i make sure i have the original discs ready so if it dosn't go rite i can quickly restore it back to original state? next time maybe just try an upgrade rather than a complete fresh install? i dont mean to sound b*tchy but maybe a little comman sence and planning wouldnt go astray? 
next time maybe?
next time maybe?

Upgraded to 10.2 tonight. Big waste of 129 bucks. This entire upgrade can be sumed up as "pritty but useless" Not only that they took all the i Apps out of the OS, except iTunes, so if you do a fresh install you lose them all. And have to buy iLife if you want iPhoto or iMovie. for an adtional $79 bucks....
