Apple previews next upgrade to Mac OS

[dArKeR]

SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Computer Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs previewed the next release of the Mac OS X operating system on Monday, claiming it will boast some coveted features that Microsoft Windows won’t include until 2006.

“It’s going to drive the copycats crazy,” Jobs said of the software, which he promised for next year, before an enthusiastic audience at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

Code-named “Tiger,” the upgrade will be the fifth version of Mac OS X in its four-year history.

Among 150 planned new features will be an advanced new searching tool called “Spotlight” that can instantly search for keywords across different types of files in the machine -- whether they’re in an e-mail, image, or text document.
