It's well known that Microsoft, Inc.--Paul Allen's 50,000+ employed corporation, originator of Macintosh OS nemesis WINDOWS--has an ultra-secret project in the Think Tanks known only as LONGHORN. Leave it to the world's leading supplier of bleak, imagination-less gray Soviet-bloc OSes to give their foremost innovation a milspec ALL STENCIL name like "LONGHORN." And it's rumored SUCCESSOR, "BLACKCOMB," isn't much better. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23852.html)
As many suppose, LH is supposed to be a "super-Windows," available by summer, 2005 (according to a print article in FORTUNE magazine). A huge OS with tons of inbuilt automation--such as "recognizing," a feature more than a little reminiscent of the recently-announced Mac-only RENDEZVOUS.
By 2005, what can we expect from Apple? One of my posts suggests (quite homorously) the existence of iRobots by 2007. (Apple marketers would no doubt tie this in with Isaac Asimov's popular series). But, of software, particulary OSes, what is there? Will Apple ever graduate from the "Unix-based" methodology? Has our LONGHORN (OS X) and our BLACKCOMB (10.2) already come?
Maybe an entirely new OS will be created exclusivey for the G6. Who knows? But: would it be necessary?
Fondly,
