@LanIost WinNt98 & 2000's implementation of autoupdate and search was DIRE. I know. I sat as a WinAdministrator at the time & and Apple System Admin.... we had 5 calls on average for windows for every 2.1 for apple, pro rata'd down to user base volume.

@MarkPMus: What about Windows NT of the day? It had that stuff from the beginning if I remember correctly.
Which is why businesses and such used it. I'm not dissing Mac OS 9. I used it.

The MAC OS 9 is better and faster than Windows VISTA!

No part three?

@drygnfyre It might not be BASED on DOS. Forget I said that LOL. Basically, it refers to files as directories rather than directly, which means if you move the original file, the shortcut doesn't work. On System 8(maybe 7), you can move the original to another drive, even a network drive and the alias still works.

@Nutz320 There is no MS-DOS at all in Windows NT. The Command Prompt in NT releases looks similar to DOS but is not the same. The last consumer Windows released based on MS-DOS was Windows ME in 2000. Windows XP onward has brought NT to the consumer level.

@stupidrandom101 Microsoft copied from Apple and Apple copied from Microsoft. Bot copied from Linux, and Linux copied from both. That's how the industry works. Steve Jobs quoted Picasso: "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." He was describing the industry, how the market leaders are not always the innovators but rather the ones who take the best ideas and put them into usable products. In the end, it's the consumers who win, because they get better products at cheaper prices.

What happened to the rest?
Sherlock was available in OSX until Leopard. The thing is, Mac OS 9 appeared at least 2 years before XP, and here we have multiple log ins, auto update etc... Windows updating was a pain before XP SP2. Mac OS just works without hassle. Anyone whoever tried to update Office Mac 2008 will know that that is just another area where Microsoft just doesn't work!
