At the end of a brief (if well-targeted) Jaguar wrap-up article by Stephen Somogyi at ZDNet, we get the following gem of a response, from a Dave Gould:
Sooooo..... what is new on the New New OSX that has not already been new on ALL the other OS's?
Nada
Here's a compatable networking Idea for Steve.... How about TCP/IP WITHOUT AppleTalk. Yea.. that's the ticket.
You see? This is the kind of thing we're up against. "Hey, do Macs have color yet?" "Macs can't be networked, can they?" "Without reading any of the relevant articles or having any first-hand experience with it, I know that OS X has nothing that Windows doesn't have!"
Yeah, it's fun to have a scapegoat in any society, a retarded uncle in the basement to make fun of (even when it turns out that said uncle has been developing cold-fusion in the hot-water heater). Better to mock him than to be seen associating with him, right?
"TCP/IP without AppleTalk"... good grief. Is it any wonder that I'd rather not associate myself with the Windows side?
By the way, the Mac OS has supported spec-compliant TCP/IP since about 1990-- long before Windows did. Oh, and Apple is now mainstreaming Rendezvous/Zeroconf by proposing it as a TCP/IP extension, while Microsoft wants to replace TCP/IP with .NET. Get that company the hell away from me.
