A few things in the article jumped out at me.<\/p>\n<p>First off, I <em>love<\/em> the logo they came up with to illustrate the story.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in the first paragraph: &#8220;Hackers and academics have uncovered one Windows security hole after another, turning Microsoft into a frantic little Dutch boy at the dike without enough fingers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About the new &#8216;sidebar&#8217; in the Finder, Pogue says that, &#8220;In effect, the Sidebar lets you fold up your desktop so that any two icons appear side-by-side, no matter how far apart they actually are in your folder hierarchy.&#8221; All of a sudden, I <em>really<\/em> want to rename the Finder &#8216;tesseract&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, one of the last paragraphs comparing Apple&#8217;s OS philosophy to Microsoft&#8217;s sums it all up wonderfully.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Finally, surely there&#8217;s value in using an operating system that, well, isn&#8217;t Windows. Mac OS X isn&#8217;t just free of viruses; it&#8217;s also free from copy protection, &#8220;activation&#8221; (a Windows XP feature that transmits information about your PC back to Microsoft), and pop-up messages that nag you to sign up for some Microsoft database or clean up your icons. When you use Mac OS X, you feel like it&#8217;s yours; when you use Windows, you feel as though you&#8217;re using someone else&#8217;s toys, and Mrs.\u00a0Microsoft keeps peeking in on you.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a glowing review of Apple&#8217;s new version of OS X (10.3, or &#8216;Panther&#8217;) in the New York Times today.
