comparing Tiger and Longhorn features.
Tiger 150, Longhorn 0
Tiger 150, Longhorn 0
08/29/2004 10:56 AMWhen Steve Jobs took the stage at the Worldwide Developers Conference
and unveiled the next version of OS X, Tiger, comparisons were quick
to be drawn to Microsoft's Longhorn — some by Apple itself with
a few strategically-placed banners. At the time, Longhorn was still
packed with the promise of a better search engine, one that seemed to
even put Panther’s superior engine to shame.
But then Steve demoed Spotlight, and all fears were put to rest. Set
to launch in the first half of 2005, Tiger continues to pile on the
features, while Longhorn, now looking at a <A

8&e=3&u=/nm/20040828/tc_nm/tech_microsoft_windows_dc">2006<
/A> target date, is trimming its own.
"We've had to make some trade-offs to deliver the features
corporate customers, consumers and OEMs (original equipment
manufacturers) are asking for in a reasonable time frame," said
Microsoft group vice president Jim Allchin.
Apparently, five years just isn't enough time to properly overhaul an
OS.
"In developing software, somewhere you have to put a stake in the
ground and there's often some hard trade-offs you have to make,"
said Michael Cherry, a analyst with Directions on Microsoft, an
independent researcher based in Kirkland, Washington.
The Windows File System, or WinFS for short, is — or rather, was
— "the active storage subsystem in Longhorn that is used
for searching, organizing, and sharing data. WinFS maintains a store
of items and their properties, and provides a system service in
Longhorn to retrieve information when it's needed."
However a <A
HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/winfs/default.aspx?pull=/lib
rary/en-us/dnaero/html/wux_topic_storage.asp">note</A>
on the Microsoft Web site reads, "In spite of what may be stated
in this content, WinFS is not a feature that will come with the
Longhorn Operating System. However, WinFS will be available on the
Windows platform at some future date, which is why this article
continues to be provided for your information"

Gnome, Longhorn, Tiger, ..., and CC
metadata
Gnome, Longhorn, Tiger, ..., and CC
metadata
06/28/2004 07:47 PMWe are happy to hear that current and upcoming operating systems
will have built-in support for application-level metadata. Gnome
(Linux), Longhorn (next version of Windows) , and Tiger (next release of OS X) all will be offering some way to store and
search metadata for files and applications. Google
is also expected to get into search applications on the desktop.
How can Creative Commons take advantage of these technologies to
enable CC-aware search and applications on the next generation
desktop? Challenge: write a research brief on how to expose CC
license info for objects in each major OS or framework.
