OS Part 2

I am sure you all have read my post on OS's. Well I forgot, yes I know you can't believe it, to mention MAC OS. The latest and greatest is Leopard my Macintosh. Which Mac always name their new OS's with animal names. Why they do this I have no clue. Well not all their OS's had this kind of name. They started with the Mac OS X (10) which was first called a Tiger or something. From what Wikipeida stated they picked big cats names for their OS. Why this is so I guess it is because there for a long while Apple (Mac) wasn't doing so well. Microsoft had a huge lead in the OS war, if you want to call it that. I would suspect that they picked these big names because they wanted to make the consumers think of Mac revamping the OS and that it was a new reason why to change from it's old OS or from anything running Windows.

With seeing both systems run, I think that Microsoft might have something to look out for......MAC. This is because the new windows has so many compatibility issues. I mention again that I work in the business and see so many people wanting the operating system of yesteryear to be loaded on their pc's yes I am talking about Windows XP. From my last post you understand why. Mac on the other hand doesn't have as many problems, only if you try to run old Mac OS 9 programs on the new Leopard. This is fine because can many of the old programs or games that ran on Windows 3.1 or 95 run even on XP....Nope. People don't want to change if they don't have to. (Case in point I learned Visual Basic then moved to Java programing I don't like it. This is because I was used to VB.) But when a new OS hits the market they expect it to work with their current software.
