Bill??? is that you?





tell me, why has microsoft not released a major revision to its flagship consumer OS since 2001, but Apple may very well release a 5th revision to OS X since 2001 if 10.4 is released this year?

Microsoft© feels that it is better for customers to receive high quality changes with more content and stability. This cannot be achieved by releasing many relativley small updates in a short period. Microsoft© wishes to give the biggest possible improvement with the lowest cost to the consumer, is believed that this is the best way to achieve this.

what are these "high quality" changes? allowing us to remove windows components to comply with US anti trust laws? or the "security center" in SP2 that alerts ppl that their PCs are insecure and tells them how to fix it so that you get less bad press about security holes?


OS X updates have not been small.

The Carbon API implementation was complete enough in 10.1 to allow for important 3rd party applications such as Adobe Photoshop to be released for Mac OS X.

10.2 was a significant improvement in most areas. It also introduced Quartz Extreme, an integrated hardware acceleration layer for rendering on-screen objects by compositing them using primarily the GPU on supported graphics cards.

10.3 added a brand new Finder, and expose, as well as fast user switching and many others.


not small updates at all.




and why is it htat the number of security holes in XP, that allow for worms to propagate at an allarming pace, has been so large. theres a new worm every month.

only 1 OS X virus in the last 3 yrs. and it wasn't wide spread. Windows worms bring down massive web sites and fill inboxes to no avail.


1 more edit: whats wrong wit hthe iPod?! i love my iPod. is it the simple navigation? the seamless integration with iTunes? or the Music store that allows me to purcahse music that i want and audio books that sound AMAZING on it?!!?!?

Gateway suck.
Mac way too expensive, too many flaws according to RECENT reports & not 100% compatible.
Dell, can't say a nice word about them.
Voodoo, top notch PC's with excellent performance & excellent Tech Support.

Any deals on a voodoo? Eg less than $700 american?
