Let's just see how long it takes OSX to die. I would give it a year. Apple will be happy to get out of it.

There is no debating that Windows leaves a lot to be desired.. but reality is reality.


If I had time, Nappy, I'd look back and try and figure out when you first posted your belief that those ³lame Macs would die out.

Probably six or seven YEARS ago.

And here we are, Macs are stronger and more prevalent in the creative community than EVER before - Apple has come up with innovative product after product that has changed the face of society - and you're STILL playing the same ³one note Samba.

Macs BAD - Macs will die out any moment nowŠ

Time to face reality, dude.

I totally agree with you here William, This nappy dude is one of the biggest clueless people on this newsgroup. But hey, everyone needs a village idiot for entertainment once and a while, and this guy provides a lot of it for this group. I wonder what his spin on Premiere coming to OSX again, will be.. I can't wait to hear this one, the backtracking should be mildly entertaining at best.




Apple's announcement is more about encouraging people to switch TO Mac than it is about ³abandoning" what is a hugely popular, robust, and successful Unix based OS.

Heck, with Vista delayed AGAIN until somewhere in 2007, it seems to me that Shiller and the crew at Apple just realized that it's the perfect time to take a HUGE bite out of PC sales this holiday shopping season.

It will be interesting to discover how many people will be motivated to ³try out Macs and see if they work as intuititvely and easily for common computing as their iPods do for music and video entertainment access.

And now that they know that their legacy software investment will be protected there's no reason a PC user shouldn't give Macs a long look when they're shopping for their next system.

Welcome to the Mac game, world. Try it, you'll LOVE it.

Yeah.. Personally, I think this might be the nail on the coffin for Windows. People who were die hard windows users, will finally have a machine in which the 2 OS's will be on side by side. After using both Windows and OSX, it will start to become painfully obvious which OS is the "better" OS, and start to find themselves booting up in OSX more and more, until after a while where they will simply just uninstall the windows partition realizing "lack of use".
