Panther: Multiple Graphical Logins?

i hope it's true.. this is one of the very few features that XP had that i liked.

The way I understand it, macosrumors isn't exactly the most trustworthy site. They seem to assume that a tablet is coming for sure though.

interesting, indeed

would such a thing put a big dent in performance though?

sorry to be dumb. but what exactly does this allow someone to do? how would it be used? etc....

thanks

I never used this feature in XP, and I always used to disable it. Now that I've switched, I definitely don't miss it, but a lot of friends have asked how they can log in without logging me out, so I suppose there is some demand for it.

It lets multiple users all be logged into OS X at the same time, so person A can be using the system then leave to go do something, then person B comes along and logs in, runs their programs etc, then when they've finished they can log back out, and when person A comes back, everything will still be running as it was, like person B had never been there. Not a very good description but hopefully you can follow it!

I would definately like it. It would keep my dad or brother from logging me out, and wiping out my work when I'm not using the computer. It'll also be much more safer if my roommate in college ever has to use my computer (which I'm hoping he never will have to...)

The last line of the MacOSRumors article reads. "Panther is shaping up to be well worth the upgrade price."

What ever happened to one free, one pay.... I wonder if this is idle speculation or fact.

w00t! If this is true I can check one item off my top requests list.

Whoever said that Apple would adopt a one free, one pay pricing scheme? 10.1 was only free because 10.0 was admittedly a beta quality product. 10.1 was a perfectly acceptable "1.0" product, which is why Jaguar was a pay-for upgrade, and why Panther will likely also be a paid upgrade.
