I Like Tigers
Hip-hip-hooray! Apple's presently developing Tiger, the newest version of Mac OS X! As an update fanatic, there's nothing more fun than hearing about the stuff coming out. (Source: the ever-amusing As the Apple Turns.)
Why is it Mac users are so obsessed with having the latest version of everything? I scored major brownie points with my fellow Mac addicts when I managed to get ahold of Panther weeks before they did. I then spent two days completely wiping my two computers, installing Panther, and playing around with all the nifty new features.
That's not something you hear about much in the Windows community. In fact, most of the stories I hear about Windows concern a bunch of people who haven't updated nearly enough, and thus haven't kept up with the latest security patches, and are now spreading some dreadful virus to everyone of their acquaintance.
Which camp do the Linux and Unix users fall into? I would imagine the first, as they strike me as, like most Mac fans, inordinately fond of computers.
