Montecore, where is the whimsy in your life?

i was surprised the other day, to see that one of the most attractive (if not most important) feature of Tiger - spotlight, was not Apple's original ideal. The creativity came from Google Desktop Beta and it came out much earlier than Tiger... hmm... the pirate of slicon valley..

Hmm.... even worse, its from Microsoft =____=:
"Google Desktop was originally developed in the wake of file and Web search capabilities that would be offered in the next major release of Microsoft Windows Vista, formerly codenamed Longhorn (slated for release in 2006). Some claim that Google Desktop, as well as Spotlight part of Mac OS X v10.4., were inspired by Vista's Desktop Search, which was demonstrated at Microsofts 2003 PDC event. Desktop received much attention because it may allow reverse engineering of Google's proprietary search algorithm." (Wikipedia)

Please note that Google Desktop Search is not built-in to every shipping Macintosh / every copy of OS X Tiger, and that Microsoft Vista Vaporsearch still has not been released.

It does seem like such a short time ago, I was running to the Apple store to get in line. I remember getting on TUAW on april 28th, trying to see if it would run on my G3 iBook, as that was what I had at the time.
Then of course, I won my G4 and flipping out for about 2 hours.
It's been quite the year. I made a cake to celebrate. It's tasty. (click on my name to get to the flickr photoset)

This is also the one year birthday of my Mac mini! I got it hours before the official release of Tiger, so I didn't have it first thing, but they gave us the form to get the upgrade for $10, and they gave us a $10 discount, so Tiger was free!

Blimey, that means it's about a year ago that I made the switch from PC to Mac at home. I wanted a Mac Mini but waited till they shipped with Tiger as the features of that OS were my main reason for waving goodbye to XP.
Do I regret it? Not one bit. In fact, I've been convincing friends, family and co-workers to switch with two successes so far.

I'm not sure where to post this but would appreciate if some of the readers could point me to links or articles which could put the following statement from an American School in perspective.
Why we use MS Operating System?Microsoft Windows has the largest installed base amongst PCs & Servers around the world. There is no operating system in the world that is a 100% secure and stable. The number of vulnerabilities on Windows servers is the lowest amongst all operating systems including Unix & Linux-based systems. Additionally, the average number of days required to patch a vulnerability after it has been identified is also the lowest for Windows operating systems. The default installation of Windows 2003 OS and Windows XP SP2 are today one of the most secured and hardened against trojans, viruses, and other vulnerabilities. Until a few months back the school's experience around system stability and robustness was sub-optimal. This was due to a variety of factors ranging from aging and incompatible hardware, incomplete server-level OS installations, incorrect OS configurations, poor operational practices, etc. Earlier this year a thorough analysis of the network was conducted. This helped us identify our network's strengths and limitations. Recommendations to increase the efficiency of the network are included in the technology plan. Several of these recommendations have either been implemented or are in the midst of implementation. We have partnered with Microsoft to ensure that our network continues to be secure, stable and efficient.

And how many patches and point releases have we seen in that short year?
