13 Comparisons of Vista vs Tiger
Competitive and fast are two terms that are applicable to the
world of computers. Constantly changing and evolving computer
systems bring many advantages to the users and techies alike.
The race for supremacy between the yet to be launched Vista
(scheduled for 2006) and Mac OSX Tiger began in 2003 with
Microsoft's announcements of plans for an integrated desktop
search functionality in Windows Vista.
While opinions vary and are really personal choices in many
ways, the following sums up the functionalities between Vista
and Tiger.
1. Vista has a completely redesigned look and feel; it is
aesthetic, functional, and exciting according to industry
sources. Mac Tiger on the other hand was always famous for its
technology and aesthetics which are clean and clutter free. In
fact, many of the visual effects that Vista has like translucent
icons, high resolution, and animation effects have been integral
to Tiger for more than four years.
2. Vista is yet to resolve problems caused by underlying
windows, while Tiger has fine tuned the bleed caused by windows
beneath the surface ones.
3. The 128 x 128 pixel icons of Tiger have better rendition and
clearer resolution than the 32 x 32 or 64 x 64 pixel icons of
Vista. However one will only know whether Vista will have
resolution independent vector graphics once the final version
comes to the market.
4. Both Vista and Tiger have closely similar desk top search
functions. The only immediate difference is that in Tiger the
filtering becomes operational only after creation of a Smart
Folder or using the shortcut keys. The Virtual Folder of Vista
is identical to the Smart Folder of Tiger.
5. Vista has next generation features, where the system has
enough inbuilt intelligence that organizes data. This fine tunes
any searches that need to be done. In comparison to this, the
Tiger has an old fashioned system with no specials.
6. Vista supports meta data processing while with Tiger meta
data can be created or edited only by using document processing
applications.
7. Vista permits users to visually locate files while Tiger does
not. Image previews in Tiger are
turned off by default.
8. As far as security is concerned the Tiger is by far superior
to Vista. Since the Tiger user base is small the number of
hackers and attackers are fewer as compared to Windows.
9. User accounts and log ins are safer in the Tiger system and
Microsoft plans to incorporate similar systems in Vista to
strengthen security.
10. Vista has new systems similar to Tiger that will enable
users to assert parental locks or blocks. Parental controls help
limit computer usage by children protecting them from several
dangers.
11. Security in Vista includes inbuilt protection against rogue
attacks, malware, spyware, adware and so on. In the case of
Tiger its security system has remained secure and unbreached.
Whether Vista will earn the same distinction will be known only
after it comes into use.
12. Both Vista and Tiger have great networking features making
both immensely usable both at home and in businesses. The Tiger
is simpler while Vista is a bit more complex to use.
13. The hibernation mode works instantly in Tiger and Vista is
also trying to match its facilities.
While the above draws tentative comparisons between the two
systems a true evaluation can only be made once Vista is
released in its completed version and comes into use.
