Time Names G5 & Panther "Gadget Of The Week", Offers Advice For Windows Networks
by , 3:45 PM EST, November 20th, 2003
Time Magazine is featuring both the Power Mac G5 and Panther as the "Gadget of the Week". The author of the article, Wilson Rothman, says that not only is Panther a joy to work with, he also specifically says to Windows users that working with a Mac is easy, and that Apple has gone to great lengths to make it seamless, though it isn't always pain-free. From the article:
I've said it before, but it's never been more true: Macs and Windows PCs can live in the same house, on the same home network, sharing the same files and even the same hardware, like printers, digital cameras and more. Mac OS 10.3, dubbed "Panther," does tons of things that previous versions of OS X couldn't do, and I'll try to mention some. But first, here's how the folks from Cupertino are making it even easier for you to work with their longtime Redmond rival.
[...]
Bottom line for the Mac users: it only gets better from here on in. Bottom line for Windows people: getting a Mac doesn't mean switching. It just means having a little more fun.
The author also includes some of what he feels are the best features in Panther, as well as some issues encountered with cross-platform networked printing. You can read the full article at Time's Web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:
This was a nice write up for Apple, and not just because it's a glowing piece in a mainstream magazine. The message specifically targeting Windows users addressing potential angst about the idea of using another platform could have a big impact on potential Switchers.Warning: include(/usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/macobserver.com/htdocs/forums/extension.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/bbm/macobserver.com/ee2/www/htdocs/comments/comments.php on line 108
