I still don't get what Apple is doing. What can they offer that Microsoft can't on the Intel platform? The answer? A snazzy GUI on top of BSD subsystem?
Rush was talking about this a couple of weeks back. His opinion (which makes perfect sense to me) was that it has to do with music and video licensing. The record companies and movie studios need a standardized operating system to be able to prevent internet piracy.
While I prefer PCs, I think bashing on either side is silly.
I suppose it makes sense. I don't know. Somehow, Apple Computer becoming the Big Brother of Internet media doesn't seem like enough, either, unless their idea is to cash in on the revenue stream from digital music and video.
There's a lot of money to be made, certainly. But I can't help but think that consumers of digital media will balk at the idea of having a hardware-level ID tied to the reproduction of music and video.
