But thinking about Micrsoft’s dedication to keeping older ‘legacy’ apps compatible with the latest version of the OS, it sounds like the more things change in Redmond, the more they stay the same. If you want to switch, chances are it’s due to the host of security issues that Microsoft hopes to solve in Longhorn. even if they were the same thing, you would still have quoted the wrong product.Ĭurrently, tiger will be the first desktop on the market with a db filesystem, beating out both linux and windows who have far more resources then the mac guys. not only that, but konfabulator is a ripoff of samurize, which is a ripoff of desktopx. konfabulator is a crime against usability, dashboard widgets will only show up after a trigger, and they will go away when you get back to work. people have been talking about db filsystems for close to a decade now, this isnt a new concept.Īnd last but not least, dashboard and konfabulator are not the same thing. if you wanted to show apple ripping people off, look at seths storage project. beagle on the other hand is a search tool. spotlight is quite low level, it is a db filesystem and full api. beagle at least is similar to spotlight, but even here you are off.

dashboard is aimed at providing you information before you ask for it, which isnt spotlight OR beagle.īeagle is roughly analogous to google desktop, it is a high level search tool with hooks to keep track of the filesystem. dashboard is the innovation from the linux camp (microsoft are thinking of calling it “implicit queries” when they steal it). You can now select a different time for synchronization or make it a recurring task.You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
