Gotta love Mac users:

<PC user> A new tool has been released. It's free and allows you to do everything you can dream of. Anything that goes through your head will appear on your screen via PsycheWire.

<Mac user> It's not pretty enough.

Yeah, but Sherlock does that *and* it's pretty.

Why Does that have to be "the next XP" ? i mean, the Screen Shot Depicts its Just Windows XP, nothing new (2600 Final)

i cannot read german, so all i am going by, is the Screenshot!

I can't read German either, but the pictures sure look alot like Windows to me. Did you click on the Slide show link? Slide number 12 (privacy) is pretty interesting.

Well, I can read some German. It's not about a new version of XP. It's about an app "under development" by Microsoft called Sideshow. Actually, I've seen a version of Sideshow. It is like Watson and Sherlock 3 (and many other apps that we'll be seeing in the future) in that it "scrapes" web sites and displays information from them without your having to open the website in a browser.

On a Mac, this is great. But, isn't IE integrated in XP (this was a big deal with the Justice Dept. and I don't know if it has been "fixed"), so opening a browser isn't a big deal.
