As much as I enjoy bashing MS, whose software I use everyday at work, and as much as I enjoy extolling Apple products, I would never want Apple to do "too" well, anyway. If Apple ever got above a 10 percent user base, what fun would that be? It's always fun finding another Mac user out there when you weren't expecting one, and talking about them. (Except for the about the first year of it's production, how much fun is it running across another iPod user?) For me, it's like finding another left-hander. I like being left-handed, but I wouldn't want our numbers too increase too much. I want Microsoft to continue putting out stuff that I will characterize negatively (not that it is so hard) and I want to continue to wonder why more people don't jump over to my side. And I suspect a lot of Mac users feel the same.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

Very good! <br><br>I thought the ending was going to say that the author was really a MS employee, but they've already played that trick a few times.<br><br>

Good article DrJohn...<br><br>I was really disappointed though....<br><br>I was really hoping that the author would develop hives when he touched a PC and as he used VISTA he'd develop a severe acute immune reaction like anaphalaxis and DIE !<br> <br><br><br>oh well ! <br><br>David (OFI)

He should have NOT told readers to read to the end first, and then wrote the same article to see how many pieces of hate mail he would get, and then he could gently berate them for their short attention spans and knee jerk reactions.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

OS X versions 10.1 - 10.3 were freely distributed by Apple to educators and academic institutions a few months after they were introduced to the general public.<br>All ya had to do is ask for it!<br><br><br>[color:blue][/b]Been there. Done that.</font color=blue>[/b]

Well I find it MOST interesting that a CNET article said Both Home editions should have been FREE upgrades... ie they're really watered down in areas like security etc.<br><br>Sounds like M$ is charging $200 for a pretty new face.<br>(mainly fluff and little meat)<br><br>That can't be good.<br><br>David (OFI)
