Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3162
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*.
Who's to say? Apple. In fact that's what I was suggesting with this post but I haven't seen the every-man's-mac...
FireWire vs. USB 2.0 doesn't matter for unattended incremental backups. Show me an example of anyone claiming otherwise.
It's possible, but the odds are lower.
It also supports backup to a server.
What's your point?
You're having that argument with someone else.
Doesn't matter; if they buy Apple laptops, it's still a sale for Apple.
But *most people don't need expansion*. That was the entire point.
IDC says laptops will probably be 50% of the consumer market by 2010.

From the above: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So why aren't there any dual-boot computers for sale? The answer lies in the nature of the relationship Microsoft maintains with hardware vendors. More specifically, in the "Windows License" agreed to by hardware vendors who want to include Windows on the computers they sell. This is not the license you pretend to read and click "I Accept" to when installing Windows. This license is not available online. This is a confidential license, seen only by Microsoft and computer vendors. You and I can't read the license because Microsoft clbuttifies it as a "trade secret." The license specifies that any machine which includes a Microsoft operating system must not also offer a non-Microsoft operating system as a boot option. In other words, a computer that offers to boot into Windows upon startup cannot also offer to boot into BeOS or Linux. The hardware vendor does not get to choose which OSes to install on the machines they sell -- Microsoft does. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, I buttumed you were making some kind of actual sense, and arguing Apple's consumer computers weren't meeting consumers' needs. Because talking about Apple's quad-core 64-bit workstation not meeting average consumers' needs doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, yeah, no kidding.

Steve Hix Actually the way FrameMaker for MacOS X was handled was far worse you had a good idea the program was going to buy the farm big time; it saw only two...
If Apple is interested in this, they'll integrate the hardware themselves. That's the model Apple works on.
