And yet again we see Windows being used to advocate the Mac. Too funny!

It's the difference between the power of "AND" vs. the weakness of "OR".

Eventually all machines will embrace this, including the ability to run
legacy applications on legacy OSes.

I don't really care. Windows runs all the software out there.

Does it run Garageband? Does it run Aperture? Does it run Final Cut Pro?


Garagebang. ROFLCOPTER. Utter ***. Aperture? LOL, who needs that? FCP? PLEASE, www.adobe.com (all free from thepiratebay.org)



No need
for me to run anything else. That's why I use Windows.

Has it ever occurred to you that just because you don't need the aforementioned apps, doesn't mean nobody else needs them.

Not for some love
of Microsoft. Not for some love of Windows. Not for some hatred of Apple. Not for some hatred of OS X. Simply it runs all the software out there without the need for this kind of expense and hassle.

I strongly disagree with what you're saying. Starting up an application is hardly a hassle. Creating OS agnostic platforms and applications is great. As long as a new feature brings something new and useful to the Mac platform, it's great.



I'd really like to be able to run old Mac software or (gulp) Amiga software on one box as well - I can't
do that today. That's why there's still many "steps" before we're where
we need to be.

There are some old, brilliant applications that died due to the limits
of legacy OS/hardware that soon, with this new open computing paradigm,
might very well get a second life.

It's about options, not which OS corner to paint yourself into. The
company that gets this will get my business.
