  1. Comment - Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.4.8

    They don't need to. They have Windows running on the Mac just fine (for my needs -- I don't have time to waste on gaming so I can't speak to that audience). The poster talking about Apple being a hardward company is nearer to point -- they want to control the entire user experience, and they can't waste energy trying to keep up with the specs of thousands of cheap PC addons. So they stick to hundreds on the Mac world (most of which come from the Wintel world -- and concentrate on making them work. This isn't about Mac vs Windows, it's about functional software that works with hardware. The bigots on both sides lose sight of the distinction: your pen1s isn't smaller just because you don't drive the other guys computer. But your brain might be a bit less frazzled if you don't have to repair/reimage/disinfect or figure out the latest IRQ conflict hidden in your system. Some people like to drive Chevys -- and love tinkering under the hood every weekend. Some people drive Camrys and just like to turn the key and go. Get over yourselves already.

    What decade are you living in? Same spec machines are equal cost. My Dell laptop cost more for the same specs than my MacBook. Lame ignorance is no starting point for a debate, or reasoned purchase. Apple isn't everything to everyone (there's a reason I own macs and pcs, but with the MacBook and bootcamp, I no longer even power up the Dell. Time to eBay the Dell since it won't run Vista.
