Much is made of guessing what the next OS X will contain. Many say virtualization, some say collaboration,…rumors, damn rumors, and wild assed guesses.
I have no inside scoop, no moles at Apple breaking their NDAs, but I know the main new feature in Leopard. Ready?
[insert drumroll]………Improved Windows Networking! The glory, the glee, how sweet it is, improved windows networking! Steve takes a bow to the crowd, flowers drop from the ceiling, the faithful are on their feet. All hail, improved windows networking!
Vista beta 2 seriously breaks Apple’s implementation of Samba.
But they can’t sell a computer OS based on improved networking with the Beast. So they will add some flash, something glitzy, something containing a buzzword or two…..how about Virtual Collaboration?
But they will fix the broken windows networking, toss it with something flashy, and…..ta daaaaa……OS X Leopard!!!!
