Only Ipod is making it for this business.

I think Mac won't make it long term with their computers.

OS X is to Vista as the 787 Dreamliner is to the A380.

I put SUSE 10 Linux (with the KDE interface) on my wife's Internet machine and I'm impressed. The big problem with Linux isn't the OS itself, at least in this version, but the lack of third-party support. If Photoshop -- and a bunch of drivers -- came in Linux, I'd drop Windows entirely.

Apple has been trying unsuccessfully for years to persuade users of Windows PCs to switch to more user-friendly and reliable -- though more pricey -- Macs.

Why is this myth still being preached??? Comparing features and such, you find that Apple prices are comparable to PC prices in most categories - ie. The High-end professional desktop from most PC manufacturers are very close to the comparable high-end PowerMac.... The laptop market is very similar - my little iBook I bought back in February was comparable in price to a similar "quality"(using the term loosely for many PC laptops) and featured PC laptop.

For the mid-level consumer - the iMac is comparable to a similarly equipped PC (how many all-in-one PC's with similar features are there?). And this goes all the way to the diminuative Mini ----

I haven't even turned my Mac on in 3 months. I just don't like it.
