Mac OS® X Snow Leopard sounds like a mainframe Unix op/sys to me.
Does sound like it, when you say it. Good Point. And when we get into arguments with the Windows fanboys, I like to point out that Unix wasn't designed for personal computers, it was designed for real computers - and now that personal computers are real computers, Unix makes sense for them.And that's what OS X.5 officially is - and as you say, X.6 will be more so. And I guess that answers my question as to whether Jobs was giving up a tempo to Microsoft. To the contrary, he is putting pressure on the soft point of Windows - the fact that Windows wasn't industrial strength from the ground up, and would have to lose compatibility with its vaunted legacy apps in order to become so.
So the fact that Snow Leopard won't do anything for me as a personal home user reflects the fact that it is the long awaited (and despaired of) thrust by Apple at the corporate market?
