It's Windows Vs. Windows As Microsoft

02/05/2005 09:39 PM

In an effort to boost sales of Windows, Microsoft has its sights set on its nearest competitor. But it's not Linux. And sorry, Apple Computer fans, it's not the Mac. The biggest rival to WIndows sales is Windows itself -- or rather pirated copies of the OS. ANd Microsoft is starting to put its foot down. By Ina Fried, CNET News.com

Lookout for Tiger's Logout


Lookout for Tiger's Logout 08/14/2004 09:48 AM
While the idea of shutting down — or even restarting — a Mac is a thought many never consider. With OS X, system crashes have become all but obsolete and, save the latest upgrade install, there"s no real reason to shut down. However, as any diligent tech janitor will tell you, a period cleaning will help ensure a healthy OS for years to come. And of course, all those switchers may have an overwhelming need to restart too. The speed and stability of OS X has brought new meaning to "working in the background," and just abut any task can be done in tandem with another — disc burning, permission repairing, cache emptying, etc. — and a user is likely to have five or six apps open whenever the urge to restart hits. So, when Apple cornered the fast-user switching market, I wondered when it would tackle the problem of actual logging out. With a few processor-intensive applications — like, say Photoshop QuarkXPress, Microsoft Word or even iMovie — quitting, saving and restarting can be a cumbersome task, one that can take upwards of two minutes and at times lends to a neverending spinning beach ball. According to AppleInsider, Tiger is going to <A HREF="http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=597">cha nge all that</A>. One of its 150 new features is reportedly utilizing "Fast Logout and Autosave" technology: "Tiger"s fast logout and autosave feature will improve logout, shutdown, and restart operations by reducing the number of confirmation dialogs presented to the user, all the while protecting the user"s unsaved data in open applications. "During a logout, shutdown, or restart operation, Tiger will determine whether an application should post a confirmation dialog for unsaved changes or perform an auto-save event. If the application performs an auto-save event, data will be saved to a special location on the system and the user will be logged out of Mac OS X. The next time the user logs in, the system relaunches each application with auto-saved documents and reconstructs the documents as their state immediately before the last logout." While it may not be immediately noticed by the masses, Fast Logout and Autosave looks to be one of those features that will change the way we think of shutting down — and offer one more reason for OS X users to gloat — after all, it"s the little things that <I>really</I> make the difference.
