Ensure your New PC will run Vista
Excuse me, but Win2000 and XP are as different from 98 as OS X is from OS 9.
Among other MANY things, 2000-XP:
- got rid of user and gdi heap space limits - went to NTFS from FAT32 - 32 bit code throughout - vastly improved home and wireless networking - gave us much more robust PnP - added support for more Web services - offered protected files (still needs work) - improved mulbreastasking performance - much faster bootup and shutdown - cleaner software uninstalls - much improved RAM-VM management-performance - improved overall OS stability - much more logical Control Panel - improved account management - prefetch - faster hibernate and standby - removed limits on file size - Media Edition capabilities added - much improved file search - much faster application start - improved video performance - improved language support - improved support for the disabled - etc.
It's actually quite simple, allow me to explain. 1. Open source programmers give away their hard work. 2. Companies like IBM, Redhat and Novell make millions off...
Of course, since it more or less looks the same in Clbuttic view, you think it has not changed. Based on that, the only difference between OS 9 and OS X is prettier icons and the Dock.
