The next big rev of Windows is still a long ways off. Yet I have no earthly idea if in 2005 they'll be able to produce an OS to match the one that Apple had in 2003

No posting from The Onion. Didn't you get the word?

when the gamers start using Apple computers, then I will consider buying one.
As long as the gamers use PCs, that is THE indication that PCs are still at the top of the heap.

Still the computer for the rich of us. I won't comment on the quality. It appears to be there. But Mac continues to plummit in market share.

Meanwhile AMD has 64 bit chips and MS has a 64 bit server OS.

However, I've heard that Longhorn (the code name for the replacement to Windows XP) will sport a lot of highly original features. I highly doubt that Microsoft will try to steal the look and feel of MacOS X 10.x versions given the nasty Apple v. Microsoft trial of the late 1980's over look and feel.

I have a iMac, but it is about 3 years old. Since I am not computer savvy, is there anyway I can buy an OS for mine? I am asking I suppose, if it will run in an older mac?

Apple, Linux? Don't have the users 'cause they don't have the apps, don't have the apps 'cause they don't have the users. Till you can buy 'em in Wal-Mart . . .

i didn't have to stand in line... my copy of Panther was awaiting me when I got home early Friday afternoon... and was installed on my G5 before the sun set!

As to the author's complaint about the revised finder, the use of space in the finder windows is MUCH better than the waste of space in Windows in the same area... Windows just has a few comments, a few links, and a graphic or two in their default "browser" mode. The Mac also doesn'w waste screen acreage by duplicating the menu bar in EVERY BLASTED folder window!

He then goes on to praise the ability of the finder to open or save documents to anyplace... ignoring that those places can be easily added to the window pane he is complaining about... and you can just "drag and drop" the files to the location.

I would consider buying OSX if they made it work on non apple hardware.
