Letting the World Know : Comment 171 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Rumel on 20-Nov-2002 20:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 168 (DaveW): The same way I know a Porsche 911 is faster than a 2CV even though I've never driven either of them. Learn to understand the field. Read the specifications. Ask pertinent questions of the designers. Laugh your head off.
To continue this metaphor, the Friedens have a manual on 1980s car design and they're trying to build a new family car for a 2003 launch. They plan for their car to even have electric windows, and a sunroof. Which is nice because the previous model didn't even have disc brakes. But, every competitor offers ABS and power steering, as well as much better ICE and all the creature comforts (heated mirror, proximity warning, fully adjustable seats).
I don't know /that/ much about cars. I wouldn't presume to guess which of next years burb boxes will be most economical or most safe. I know a lot more about OS design, and I know OS4 is truely "outdated" in the same sense as Mac OS 9.
The original poster asked if it was outdated. The answer is yes. If you have an objection to any of the specific points about missing or sub-standard features please mention those objections rather than continuing (as Ben Hermans has done) to assert that those who disagree with you are ignorant or stupid. |
