They just want to get enough of the market so they to can have hackers considering them worthwhile enough to write viruses and adware for them.

They said the same thing about Beta for years!

"OS X for Intel would change the PC landscape like no other operating system has or could. Apple should open-source their operating system, port Openoffice.org to Aqua and bundle it for Intel PC's. Offer it for $199 for a home edition and $299 for a professional edition and the world will say goodbye to Windows for good."

Out with the old boss, in with the new boss.

Ooh. And I'm sure that Bruce Campbell is just one role away from being a bigger star than Brad Pitt!

But I'm not betting on it.

Microsoft should consider changing their OS packaging...

Isn't going to happen. First, Apple is a hardware company. Second, part of the stability of OSX comes from Apple's control of the hardware that it runs on (and, as a correlary, much of the remaining instability in Microsoft's OS is due to cheap hardware and bad third-party device drivers). Third, Apple is a hardware company (in case you missed that the first time).

Now, if Steve Jobs was really devious, he'd wait for Microsoft to port MS Office to Mac OSX for Intel and then open up OSX to run on any PC so that users could have MS Office on an Intel PC without Windows. That could make Bill Gates' head explode.

Sorry

I'm a Mac Addict since '84
And I would just as soon pass on this

The computer community thrives on competition
Apple is also strengthened by it
I like the lively give and take

Besides, if people want to use the Windows WPOS
Why should I care
