The Mac is Dead! Long Live the Wintel PC! was Apple ahead of schedule 3120
Chris Clement Note: no response. All of that technology was developed by Wintel companies for Wintel computers. Macs have been mostly Wintel technology for some time. This...

Edwin I prefer not to make the same points twice in the same discussion. Wintel companies? I didn't realize there was a comglomerate corporation called "Wintel". Can you give me a link...
The Mac is Dead! Long Live the Wintel PC! was Apple ahead of schedule 3122
I do have to agree that a PowerMac G4 is a "Mac", Josh. Of course, I also have to agree that a PowerMac G4 was an "IBM", since IBM owned...

Well, bud, if Apple wants to call MY Apple Intel PC a "large pink elephant", I could care less. I call it "a very well-built" and "SOLID" Windows machine...
The Mac is Dead! Long Live the Wintel PC! was Apple ahead of schedule 3124
That's it, bud. You've gone WAY over the line now. Tell me, sir: WHO are YOU to tell me what machine to use to run Windows on? That is...

Donald McDaniel I call em as I see em. If you want swiss cheese of an operating system that is up to you. XP is swiss cheese. If...

On Thu, 10 Aug 2006 09:12:04 -0700, Timberwoof Well, sir, I certainly don't plan on selling my computer anytime soon...

Mr. Lund, since you have a reasonable atbreastude, I will agree with you that my Apple Intel PC, on which I run XP Professional (or Vista...
Apple ahead of schedule 3128
Yes. As long as the apps are there they users will come in time. But it will take time. This is not...
Apple ahead of schedule 3129
I can't believe this. Nothing Apple could have done could have thrown one of MS's biggest advantages into sharper relief. There...
Apple ahead of schedule 3130
I'm not really sure this is such a big advantage. How many clbuttic apps do you still use, for instance...
Apple ahead of schedule 3131
I only own two, and rarely use them. But consider this: I didn't own a Mac during the OS...
Apple ahead of schedule 3132
Ported by fans, as I understand it. Games makers do not, as a rule, bother with stuff...
Apple ahead of schedule 3133
In many cases it would be cheaper, since they *already have* a Windows version. If the Mac market isn't worth the investment, they'll...
Apple ahead of schedule 3134
The whole idea of Adobe leaving the Mac is ludicrous. Given what I suspect the platform sales breakdown for Creative Suite looks like, Adobe is probably about as likely to leave...
Apple ahead of schedule 3135
There'll be less of that. These transitions also make the market less attractive for a vendor...
Apple ahead of schedule 3136
MS surpbutted this a long time ago with OLE Automation. I should be rather surprised if Photoshop did not support that; if they don't they really should. Of course, the effort...
Apple ahead of schedule 3137
Thing is, it's not just Photoshop. AppleScript is used as part of multi-application workflows which would be a huge hbuttle...
Apple ahead of schedule 3138
That is, I'm afraid, not all that conservative by the standards of IT. :D If the gap is less than a year, then...
Apple ahead of schedule 3139
Like pretty much all of it. Yes. They say they have fewer issues with Mac-originated files. In fact, when there *are* issues with output...
Apple ahead of schedule 3140
Even a 6-month transition could see a small shift, but it might be lost in the noise...
Apple ahead of schedule 3141
IOW, you can claim it'll happen with no fear of being proven wrong. Often this isn't the case, actually. Digital production presses frequently run on their own...
Apple ahead of schedule 3142
Photoshop does. You can choose to use either Adobe's stuff or Apple's. If you use Apple's, you can move stuff between Adobe apps and non-Adobe apps while...
Apple ahead of schedule 3143
It can, but there are some serious problems with that. One is that it obviously isn't available on the Mac, which is the standard platform in this...
Apple ahead of schedule 3144
Ah. This is the standard lock-in schtick. :D snip Hmm. I do not see any...
Apple ahead of schedule 3145
DOS is still supported after 25. snip Yes. But Apple simply doesn't care about compatibility as much as MS...
Apple ahead of schedule 3146
Apple knows better; you will observe that during the keynote Steve brought up developer adoption of Intel too. Sure, you...
Apple ahead of schedule 3147
Edwin I don't recall what the dates were to know. All I know is that what Apple makes now is by...
Apple ahead of schedule 3148
Apple can't even send hardware to companies, as noted with my experience with buying my...
Apple ahead of schedule 3149
Yeah, I miss all those old CP-M apps that never made it to Windows, too. So I like SuperPaint and I'll miss it if I ever go to an Intel Mac...
Apple ahead of schedule 3150
There was limited compatibility even here, though it was indeed far from the standards MS would later maintain. It was possible to write a program that would run on both, unmodified...
Apple ahead of schedule 3151
First of all, why not? That old Mac still runs, right? Second, Hypercard having gone away years ago is not a good reason not to use OS X now. This...
Apple ahead of schedule 3152
Well, if its a bespoke business app it's probably not just one Mac, but one per user of the app. You need to be able to replace...

Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3156
Why? Most regular users have no interest in upgrading. Anyway, laptops are taking over the consumer market more and more...

Yea right. Apple is adding a new feature called Time Machine to Leopard. It will require an additional HD to...

In the Time Machine scenario, nothing is run directly from the external HD; data just...
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...
Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3160
This is a fairly whacky claim. There isn't even going to be a noticeable difference unless the user is recovering hundreds of megabytes of files, which is sufficiently rare that using an internal...
Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3161
No it makes a complete backup every single day like it says. For many it won't...
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*. FireWire vs. USB 2.0...
Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3163
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 yet. Yea right, most of the...

It's not even close: 1. It's $80.00 more (dual processor model). 2. It has half the HD, 80GB...
Apple Continues To Condemn The Mac To Niche Machine 3169
Then why are their commercials always comparing Macs to PCs? No these are overpriced novelty machines. That's why they still have poor share. The only product they can compete with are laptops as...

iPodready cars, look at the macintards jump for joy 3171
