and some of you people are buying it hook line and sinker. What irks me is that microsoft is behind OS X in many areas, so what does microsoft do? they ANNOUNCE something better, something that doesn’t come out for two years and call it equal. The real issue is what OS you consider technologically superior and whether it is better enough to switch to Besides the fact that the BSOD is suppose to be minimal – how do you use Direct3D is Direct3D crashed with the rest of the OS?Įveryone steals from everyone else and claims they did it first, who really cares Waste of time, people hardly see it these days (unless they have really really incompatible software). It is the first time I have been impressed with MS.Īctually while there are countless amount of examples of database-like file systems, I don’t know any other file system other than WFS that actually uses a real database (well, in the future), more or less.ĭan: In fact, they should make the blue screen of death with 3D gee-wiz effects The database filesystem is a cool idea (its been done before). Tell me again – where is the Amiga platform?ĭan: After having said that. So tell me again, how is the features hyped in the links above available 15 years ago?ĭan: Heck the AMIGA had its GUI rendered with its Chipset in the 80’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And BeOS hardly had a stable proper OpenGL implementation, besides the thousands of features they should have before I seriously consider them (e.g. Microsoft just depends of DirectX for their graphics, and DirectX just depends on the GPU. Speaking of Amiga, it depends largely on hardware, if not totally – so? That doesn’t mean Microsoft is copying them (call me when Microsoft announces that its OS is written in 100% assembler). Novell had DVD-R burning capabilities 15 years ago. Palm, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, heck even Apple.ĭan: Unix, Novell, Beos, AMIGA, Apple get upset because we have seen 15 year old features marketed as brand new. Most, if not all, successful companies thrive on their marketing not being first to have it. Welcome to the beautiful world of business.
OPENGL EXTENSIONS VIEWER CRASHES WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE
Name one piece of software they made that was not a copy. This was originaly posted in an Arstechnica Battlefront discussion:ĭan: Face it MS copies everything. Granted, some of these features are huge while others are just fine-tuning of the interface, but to the best of my knowledge, all of them appeared elsewhere before being implemented by Apple (the names are likely to be different though…) * Long filenames display in Finder (255 chars instead of 30) * The Desktop can be viewed in a Finder window * Single click activation of inactive window items
* Customizable and removable Finder toolbar * Unix – scripting languages – Perl, Ruby, Python * Unix – commands and utilities (too many to count) * Application crash does not require reboot
* Keyboard shortcuts for the new Finder Window menu * Smooth the appearance of text by turning on anti-aliasing
* Scroll the contents of a window more easily using double scroll arrows * Tell how much of a window’s content is visible by looking at proportional scroll boxes. * Use icons in the title bar of a folder or volume window to move or copy the folder or volume and all its contents * A relatively modern filesystem with 4KB Blocks and 255 char filenames (HFS+) * Simultaneous operations (enhanced co-operative multitasking) * Menus that stay open (You can make menus stay open by clicking the menu name.) * Multi-button mouse support (or was that added later?) It seems like Win95 (and OSR2) represented the turning point where Apple started to chase the rest of the world. Here’s an incomplete ‘laundry list’ of features and ideas that were “borrowed” by Apple from other pltaforms/OSes (mostly Windows, OS/2, Unix or BeOS).
