Wow! A diehard Windows supporter looks like he has caught the Mac fever. Even more interesting, Ziff Davis has been Microsoft's lapdog for years on end. I concur with his Palm PDA situation. The syncing is still not top notch in MacOS X, yet. Palm really needs to improve their Palm Desktop app. What is ironic, the Microsoft Windows PocketPC PDAs sync beautifully with MacOS X. Go figure.

At $1,700 with a DVD burner I think everyone should own one. I plan on having one by Summer.

As is usual with people who are given equipment to rave about, this person has neglected what matters to the real people in the real world:
What is the price?
What are the expansion possibilities and costs for this (still) "closed" proprietary system?

While Mac again sets the standard for innovation, I don't see this as taking a significant share of the PC market.
Mac's ultimate undoing will be that it does not license it's operating system to other manufacturers. Despite innovations like this, most home computer users will continue to select PC systems because of the price and variety of products available.
Similarly software developers will continue to concentrate on the PC market, because of the larger number of potential users.
I see this as much like the situation of the Sony Beta video system competing with the rival VHS system in the early 1980's. VHS won out not because of having superior features or better quality, but that consumers could buy VHS machines from an increasing number of manufacturers at an increasingly lower price. Pre-recorded video producers simple followed this market and Sony Beta simply disappeared.

Oh Dear God, please ... not another Mac vs. PC thread ...
People, they are all good, OK? We are one, and we are all together, kookookaachu, all right? All is love. For anyone here, it's just TCP/IP, and they all do that ...
Save the bits, and get back to work on your machine of choice. The world will just keep right on a spinnin' ...

The Mac OS is the most user friendly operating system going. Always has been, always will. Drag and drop!

All Apple needs now is to get a license to use Kodak's new display screen material, the organic light emitting diode (OLED). The screen is super bright in any ambient light situation and makes LCD's look washed out and dim. OLED has just been announced as a global joint venture by Kodak and Sanyo. Watch for OLED displays soon on PDAs, small screen DVDs etc/ then computer monitors. Hooray!

Look at the Pixar dancing lamp and the new iMac.
See any resemblance?
