Wendland on Tiger vs. Longhorn

By Scott McNulty

Tiger, Tiger burning bright. Tiger is at least on the mind of many a Mac users (if you're not in the know Tiger is Apple's code name for OS X 10.4). Including over 100 new features Tiger is sure to please, and it is shipping some time soon (no one knows for sure when but the rumor sites are having fun guessing).

However, Apple isn't the only company out there working on their next Generation of OS, as Mike Wendland
points out. Microsoft is hard at work on Longhorn, the successor to Windows XP. It isn't slated to ship until 2006 (if you ask me if won't ship then either unless they rip out another major feature), and Microsoft is playing their cards close to their chest.

Apple will be hard at work on OS X 10.5 (Ocelot?) while Microsoft is still hip deep in beta on Longhorn.
