Microsoft Windows Vista might be as good as Apple's OSX Tiger after all!

But we won't see it for a while.. I chanced upon this link on Yahoo's Tech Tuesday, and thought hmmm.. a lot of this stuff that Vista is supposed to have - already exists in Tiger. 1) Bidirectional software firewall, 2) windows services hardening 3) hard-disk encryption 4) User account protection 5) Internet explorer 7 with tabbed windows, antiphishing features, running in "protected mode" 6) instant desktop search using extensive indexing 7) automatic software updates 8) windows media player upgrade 8) windows photo gallery 9) DVD maker 10) parental controls 11) better backup software 12) quick setup and installation (around 15 minutes) Well Well.. all I can say to prospective customers of this upgrade is - Welcome to the world of OSX Tiger. You'll probably get to enjoy what we currently have been using for the last year or so.. Kudos to the team at Microsoft. And here's a link to the original Tech Tuesday article
