Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3159
Oh yes it will when the user wanst to use Time Machine to retrieve something. It'll be a major issue when you get tired of waiting.
Yea when they want someting for multi-media, they'll want a desktop. More and more PCs are becoming entertainment centers for music, games and movies. People will want more graphics power. With a normal desktop they can go out and choose from a wide variety of cards. With the laptop, the choices are limited.
What does it matter if an unattended backup takes a couple of minutes longer? As I said, the only relevant thing is the time it takes to *restore...
While this may be true, a large number of people will buy a new OS like they did Windows 95, 98...ect. Even if it's 10% that would be a great number. How do you think Microsoft made so much money in the 90s?
Why don't you back up your claims of OS exclusivity.
This is a fairly whacky claim. There isn't even going to be a noticeable difference unless the user is...
Oh so you really don't know, you're just saying it because it helps your argument. Like I said, a minority of 5% in the Windows world is a very large number of people.
What? The problem is the Mac Pro exedes the needs of home users by a lot. It costs too much for average home users.
In my experience, ATI and NVida are selling a pooload of chipsets on video cards. ATI is selling a lot of cards to someone. I also see a lot of HDs being sold at retail stores. Some home users are buying them and I expect OS X users who want to use Time Machine will want them too. You really can't just the computer world by your very limited experience. I know you think it's substantial but I bet you haven't serviced one million costomers. One million users in the PC world is very very tiny.
Just think about it. You had an iMinime and you bought or downloaded OS X Lepoard. You want to use time machine. You would love to be able to add an external SATA card to the iMinime and a HD.
