Windows (Hasta La) Vista
Wow! So the new Windows OS is out already? Andy asked me about the other day, and I decided to go have a laugh, I mean look, at it...So Vista has all these cool new features. Let's look at them one at a time.
- Sidebar and Gadgets
Hey, this looks a lot like a Mac Tiger dock, and widgets, doesn't it? I never use my Dashboard anyway, so this really doesn't impress me! - Instant Search
My bad! I assumed all operating systems came with a search engine, never realised it might be a "new" feature for some... - Photo Gallery
This reminds me of the time I was fooling around with Selina's laptop and I asked her where her photo viewer was. I'm glad that Microsoft has finally incorporated this into their OS. This, I like... although it could do with better aesthetically... - Tabbed Browsing in IE7
Again another "duh" for me. Safari had tabs all along. So show me something that my OS doesn't already have, will you?
I'm sure there are other great features, but I'm bored of looking at Windows already... All I have to say is that if you're thinking of upgrading your system, I think you'd be better off getting a Mac.
