Tiger PWND XP – But Will Vista Come Out Ahead?

Demo of Windows Vista Beta v1

I have to admit that Vista or previously dubbed, “Longhorn” looks pretty sweet. I like the update in graphics display thanks to the handy dandy Avalon engine that helps produce some nice GUI (Graphical User Interface) usability. There are also other good moves for Microsoft as they up the ante in security in developing an entirely new design in access control meaning less spyware and other malicious frustrations. My only speculation is how much more does Vista truly add than the previous Windows XP and what the future of Vista looks like with the delay of its new file system – WinFS.

What I like to actually think about is the impact this has on Apple. Mac users and many others have definately been developing a nice relationship over the past few months since the release of OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Tiger is superior to Windows XP in my mind, but Vista is another question. Thus the question really comes from Apples next OS X (10.5 – Leopard). In terms of features and outlook, no on can really say, just speculate on what Apple needs to do to compete with Microsoft in the OS (operating system) war. Both Vista and Leopard will be launch late 2006 so let us wait and see.
