Mac OS X 10.4 - More Bling Than Bang?

Channel Register has posted a review of Mac OS X 10.4. Check it out.
Apple has a different problem. As OS X improves, it becomes harder to convince OS X users to make the jump. If Microsoft had announced that the next version of Windows XP would sleep and wake up within three seconds with near 99.99 per cent reliability, would pick up a WiFi network within 10 seconds with similar consistency, and was now free of viruses, then users would flock to upgrade. But even the first, barely usable version of Mac OS X boasted this when it first appeared March 2001. The issue here isn't tempting Windows switchers, but whether an annual $129 can be justified.

    I doubt it, people still use Windows 95/98/NT with no plans on upgrading.
