      Mr. Mikey, Apple is not competing against hardware vendors, in fact now, there is a level field. If you care to put bios-efi hack on your bios based pc and go through a checklist of on which hardware parts other than the cpu (Intel) you must swap then Mac OS 10.4.9+ or Mac OS 10.5.2+ will run on your Mod-PC. What Apple can not do and I do not agree with you or others like you is - to make Mac OS X run on any old cheapo clone PC out there. I want it to run on the best hardware for PC there is, the one that gives the least bit of trouble. You probably don't know how much better the Apple hardware has always been (regardless of CPU's mhz) to the PC hardware. And that, has been Apple's choice all along. Apr 27 07:05 PM

      You all are saying this wrong. I am also an IT guy for 15 years, but I do mostly mixed environments - AIX, Linux, Solaris and Windows Servers. I do Mac OS X personally and I use *nix tools in it such as fink GNU package installer and ports. I write and test my unix scripts on the Mac. I do not need CygWIN or MinGW that a Windows guy would need to do the same. Having explained myself and why I personally use a Mac I will comment on why windows has the desktop.
      It's got nothing to do with us IT guys or the IT department head's choices. MSCE's withstanding, the issue is with the non-IT people, sales, administration, HR, etc that use a computer to massage document formats or data. True that you can do these functions in a Mac and stylishly more so, but it will cost double in the short term. And that IS what the bottom line is for any company in America, perhaps some parts of the world as well. the bottom line is money and saving money for spending the least on IT. thus the $300 DELL desktop...it will not outlast the durability of the Apple systems. but it will do this kind of jobs that are GUI just fine. IT is there to refresh the images of those computers and filter out the ubiquitous WIndows viruses from them.
      What none of you have said, is that as the world moves to have double or triple the amount of computers (personal) than the US has now. The system of choice for them is the $0 solution, the Ubuntu stuff.
      If you will only follow the foreign news...even a country like Germany, had 20,000 PC's turned into SuSE boxes (why SuSE ..not Ubuntu..because SuSE is german. and familiar is good. we do the same thing here...we don't like UNfamiliar as well)
      So, just give it time...and Windows is out of the picture.
      Apple, just hang in there, that your niche is just perfect...
      Linux is just to replace Windows. it is not a niche, but a revolution to overthrow eventually Windows, which overthrew DOS and OS/2.
